Reverse Hammer 2 In 1 GHD And Reverse Back Extension

The Bells of Steel Reverse Hammer has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of equipment in my gym. It’s built like a tank, super stable, heavy duty, and solid from top to bottom. You can tell right away it’s designed to handle serious use.

The biggest win for me has been how much it’s helped with lower back pain. Consistent sessions on this machine have strengthened my posterior chain and taken a lot of pressure off my lower back. I feel better day to day and can train harder without worrying about flare-ups.

Customer service deserves a shout-out too. I reached out after probably damaging a part by over tightening it, and they were quick to respond and get me squared away. It’s rare these days to deal with a company that’s that easy to work with.

I’ve done a couple of simple DIY tweaks that made a big difference:

Added anti-slip tape to both foot platforms for extra grip.

Put a little dab of silicone around the front end caps so they stay in place.

The best mod by far was using heavy-duty hook and loop tape on the center pad. It makes it easy to remove or reposition the pad between different exercises, which is especially helpful for anatomical males who might need a quick adjustment for comfort.

Unfortunately, my gym dog decided the center pad was his new toy, pounced, and tore the vinyl, so I’ll be reaching out to customer service again for a replacement. Given how awesome they were the first time, I’m confident they’ll take care of it without any issues.

All…

After using the Bells of Steel Reverse Hammer for the past two weeks, I can already tell it’s one of the best equipment upgrades I’ve made. It completely replaces my Titan H-PND and GHD—and honestly, it outperforms both.

Here’s what stands out after 2 weeks of use:

✅ Dual Functionality That Works

I was skeptical about combining reverse hyper and GHD in one unit, but this machine nails it. The transitions are smooth, the setup is solid, and I don’t feel like I’m compromising on either movement.

✅ Posterior Chain + Decompression Relief

As someone with disc issues and arthritis, this machine is a game changer. The reverse hyper movement offers controlled decompression and blood flow, and I feel noticeably better after using it. Glutes, hamstrings, and lower back are getting quality work without aggravating pain.

✅ GHD Mode Is Legit

I’ve done sit-ups, back extensions, and even some Nordic curl progressions. The GHD setup is stable and provides full ROM. It’s not just a bonus feature—it’s fully functional.

✅ Solid Build + Smart Design

This thing is built like a tank. No wobbles, no corners cut. It feels secure, the padding is comfortable, and the footprint is compact enough for a home gym while still feeling professional.

Bottom Line:

Even after just two weeks, I’m confident saying the BoS Reverse Hammer is a serious upgrade. It’s efficient, spine-friendly, and versatile—perfect for anyone looking to simplify their setup without sacrificing performance.

If you’re on the…

I've had for over a month now and it is built like a tank. Shipping was a little less then kind to it but bells of steel got that squared away quickly. The only thing that I would change is when you have to remove the center piece and put back on 6+ times a week it gets a little old. I replaced the bolts with longer ones I made into studs then added velcro. Yes, I know this probably voids the warrenty but cause I cut away the vynal on the back.

The machine is a beast and functions flawlessly. FEDEX beat the heck out of the boxes and while a few pieces were damaged, BOS customer service was quick to send out replacement parts and worked with us through the whole process. Love this machine and I highly recommend it if you have the space.
