- Get into a forward lunge position with torso upright, core braced and hips square to your body, with your back foot elevated on the bench
- Your leading leg should just under 2ft or so in front of bench 
- Lower until your front thigh is almost horizontal, keeping your knee in line with your foot (Don't let your front knee travel beyond your toes)
- Drive up through your front heel back to the starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Split Squat w/ DB

- Bend over and grab a DB with your other hand on a bench or rack for support
- Keep your feet square rather than staggered and your spine straight, and head in a neutral position
- Pull the weight up and back towards your hip as you retract the scapula and squeeze the muscles in the middle of your back
- Do not twist, try to keep your shoulders level
- Lower under control and allow the lat to stretch at the bottom
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Pull Ups
Reverse Hyper w/bands

- Grab a pull up bar with a medium overhand grip
- Lean back slightly and engage the lats as you pull your chin above the bar
- Lower under control until your arms are almost straight, but not to a dead hang un-packed position

This is a great reverse hyper variation using the GHR. You can lay over an elevated bench but this set up works best.
