The Riot GHD V2 is our commercial-grade glute-ham developer, built heavy, adjustable in every direction, and dialled in to fit athletes from 1.60m all the way up past 1.95m. If your gym runs glute-ham raises, back extensions, hyperextensions and ab work as a daily staple, this is the machine that's built to take that volume easily.
Comfort where it counts. The half-moon pads sit with a proper gap between them so your hips move freely through the full range of motion, and an additional knee pad sits just in front of them — tilt it out of the way with its mag pins and a small integrated step makes getting on and off the machine easy, even mid-workout. The knurled handles at the rear give you a secure grip for mounting up and getting into position.
Dialled in for every body. The rail system adjusts the machine's length with a simple pin, the leg rollers adjust in height individually, and the footplate tilts ±20° for different exercise variations. The distance from footplate to knee pad runs from 19cm at the smallest setting all the way to 49cm at the tallest — that range is what lets the same machine work properly for a 1.60m athlete and a 1.95m+ athlete without anyone compromising their form. The hip pad angle adjusts too, with 3 gear positions across a ±40° range, so you can dial in the right position for glute-ham raises, hyperextensions, or ab crunches.
Band training built in. There are peg holes at the front of the machine and at the base of the feet, so you can rig up resistance bands for accommodating resistance or assisted variations without needing separate attachments.
Heavy-duty by design. The frame is built from 75mm square tube with a 3mm wall thickness — genuinely commercial-grade steel, rated to a 500kg maximum load. At 110kg, it's not lightweight, but wheels at the front and a knurled carry handle at the back mean two people (or one determined one) can still reposition it around the gym floor.

FAQ
What exercises can I do on the Riot GHD V2?
Glute-ham raises, back extensions/hyperextensions, and ab crunches are all possible on the same machine — the footplate angle, hip pad angle and pad positions adjust to suit each movement.
I'm quite short / quite tall — will this actually fit me?
It's tested for athletes from 1.60m up to 1.95m and taller. The footplate-to-knee-pad distance adjusts from 19cm at its shortest to 49cm at its tallest, plus individually adjustable leg rollers and a tilting footplate, so you're not stuck with a one-size-fits-most setup.
What's the extra pad in front of the half-moon pads for?
That's an additional knee pad. Tilt it out of the way using its mag pins and a small integrated step is reachable, giving you an easy, stable way to get on and off the machine — useful mid-session when you're moving in and out repeatedly.
Can I train with resistance bands on this?
Yes — there are peg holes both at the front of the machine and at the base of the feet, so you can anchor bands for accommodating resistance or assistance depending on the variation you're training.
How much weight can it handle, and how heavy is the machine itself?
The frame is rated to a 500kg maximum load, built from 75mm square steel tube with a 3mm wall thickness. The machine itself weighs 110kg — solid and stable in use, and movable around the gym floor thanks to the front wheels and rear knurled handle.
Is this suitable for a commercial gym, or just home use?
It's built as a commercial-grade machine — the frame gauge, load rating and adjustability are designed for daily use across a range of athletes, so it works equally well as the GHD in a busy gym or as a serious piece of kit in a home setup.

Technical Specifications
The Riot Utility Bench V2 is more than just a training bench: it’s a competition-ready tool, delivering the same standards you’ll face on the platform while offering the adaptability required for modern strength training. | ORIGINAL 2028 OLYMPIC BAR The Original 2028 Olympic Bar is one of our best-selling barbells. Built to Olympic standards with a length of 2.2m and a weight of 20kg, the bar features 50mm sleeves and a straight steel shaft with a diameter of 28mm. The Black E-Coating on the barbell is applied using an electrophoretic painting process, which uses electricity to bond the coating to the steel. This ensures that the finish is hard-wearing, durable, and corrosion-resistant. SPECS
FAQWhat makes the Black E-Coating special? Does the 2028 bar have a warranty? | Benchmark of Precision - Strength Shop’s Calibrated Competition PlatesCalibrated plates are to the ambitious athlete what the hammer is to Thor. This high-end piece of equipment is now among our strongest tools for Powerlifter or Strongman and Strongwoman. Manufactured according to international competition standards, these Powerlifting Plates, often referred to as calibrated steel plates, feature the IPF colour-code for fast recognition of the weight. The coated cast-iron plates come with a velvet matte finish, raised details — like our brand logo, weight unit in kilograms and are cut super thin. All plates have a 50mm collar opening to ensure a very tight fit on the barbell. A thin lip around the Calibrated Powerlifting Plates aids in handling the plates safely, while loading or storing. Our Calibrated Plates are IPF approved, which means they are optimal for competitions. What Are Calibrated Weight Plates?Our Calibrated Powerlifting Plates offer maximum accuracy for weight loading in training and competition. Slim designed plates allow for maximal loads, which is essential with having strength sports like Powerlifting or Strongman and Strongwoman in mind. On the back of each plate, two pins are used to fine-calibrate within +/-10gr of each weight plate. As a result, the discs have maximum accuracy. That's what matters; that's what the athlete can rely on. Just like you, we take our training very seriously and have been working on our calibrated plates for a long time. Now that they are here, we are proud to finally offer you plates that combine maximum precision and quality. Do you want to save some energy while loading and unloading the barbell? Our Mini Deadlift Jack will be your helping hand. Please note: The inner colour coating of the centre hole might come off with first use, and the plates could be a little harder to put on. Don't worry, this is not a flaw in production, but due to the manufacturing process and will resolve over time. Specs:

FAQ
What’s the benefit of a lever belt?
Lifting belts are made to support your spine by increasing pressure in your core. By using a belt, you increase the intra-abdominal pressure in your body– meaning you can lift more weight and help prevent injuries. However, it’s not a replacement for proper lifting technique.
Unlike belts with one or two prongs, lever belts only need to be adjusted the first time you use them. This makes it faster and easier to put on and take off the belt without fiddling with the prongs each time.
Should I choose the 10mm or 13mm Lever Belt?
Both belts offer substantial support. The main difference is that the 13mm belt has extra material, making it slightly thicker and offering slightly more support. If you're a beginner or haven't used a lifting belt before, you might find the 10mm belt more comfortable.
