Back, hamstring, and glute benches are specialized strength training machines designed to develop the posterior chain, including the glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors, and core. Often referred to as glute-ham developers (GHDs), back extension benches, or hip thrust benches, these benches provide biomechanically sound support for lower-body and posterior strength training.
IRON COMPANY offers commercial-grade back, ham, and glute benches trusted by professional gyms, military installations, collegiate facilities, and serious home gym owners seeking durability, adjustability, and long-term performance.
