Vulcan Kraaken-Hyper: GHD-Hyper Combination Machine Description The Vulcan Kraaken-Hyper Machine (Patent Pending) is the ultimate solution to posterior-chain strengthening. It combines a classic GHD machine with a pendulum arm for reverse hyper exercises. Adjustability is what elevates the Vulcan Kraaken above the other two-in-one machines you'll find on the market. This machine is designed for maximum functionality and safety for the user. Having the ability to adjust the hip pads, ankle pads, and lever arm allow athletes of every stature to perform a variety of exercises safely and properly. For these reasons, the Vulcan Kraaken is an ideal fit for varsity weight rooms, sports performance facilities, commercial gyms, and military/civil service fitness centers. Unlike other GHD/Reverse-Hyperextension combination machines, the Vulcan Kraaken-Hyper has adjustable hip pads. Six different hip angle options allow the exerciser to experience full muscle engagement when executing Glute-Hamstring Raises and performing hip extensions with the pendulum. Performing these same types of exercises on machines with fixed hip pads greatly reduces the strengthening benefit of the movements. The eight adjustment points on the lever arm allow you to position the footplate as close as 22" from the hip pads to 34.5" from the hip pads. This great range accommodates exceptionally tall athletes as well as athletes of smaller stature, emphasizing proper body positioning on the machine. The pull-pin mechanism makes for quick and easy changes to keep the workout flowing smoothly. GHD machines with fixed ankle pads may be riskier and less effective for smaller athletes to use because they are unable to secure their ankles in to place while performing posterior chain exercises. The Vulcan Kraaken-Hyper offers the solution with full adjustability for the ankle pads.

This machine is MASSIVE wherever you plan on placing it, it will stay and not budge. I definitely wasnt expecting it to be this big I stand at 5'8 and the height of it reaches my chest. The only reason Im giving it 4 out of 5 stars is the instruction manual was horrible made it a much longer process to build than I would like for a busy schedule like mines and I didnt want to drop the extra $375 to get in pre built.

More than you are expecting! This thing is wild. It’s so overbuilt, if you want a statement gym the Kraaken impresses. If you have back pain sure you could use a scout but if you really want to go after the posterior chain this is the best option. Just please improve those instructions or have an option to have it pre-built for an extra charge. That said, once it’s up, there is nothing I’ve ever seen anywhere near like it. Reminds me of going into a gym as a kid and seeing a power rack for the first time. Highly recommended!
