Unmatched Since the ‘90s
The Ground Base® Jammer isn’t new—it’s legendary. While other companies try to replicate its movement with half-measures, only Hammer Strength delivers the true Jammer experience.

FAQ
Why do rack-mounted press arms fail to replicate the Plate Loaded Jammer’s movement?
Rack-mounted press arms may look similar, but they don’t move like a true Jammer. Without independent, converging, and diverging arms, they lack the natural pressing path that builds real-world power. The Jammer was engineered for explosive strength, allowing athletes to drive force through the ground while pressing in an athletic motion—something rack-mounted arms simply can’t match.
What’s the advantage of standing pressing movements versus seated presses?
Standing presses demand total-body activation. Instead of isolating the upper body, the Plate Loaded Jammer forces athletes to engage their core, legs, and hips to generate force—just like they would in competition. This builds functional power, improves coordination, and transfers directly to on-field performance.
What types of athletes benefit the most from Jammer training?
Any athlete who needs explosive power, speed, and strength. Football players use it to build the drive and punch needed for the trenches. Combat athletes use it for powerful strikes. Sprinters and jumpers develop forceful hip extension. Whether it’s contact sports, track and field, or any discipline requiring raw power, the Ground Base® Jammer delivers.
Does Hammer Strength make pressing arms for our racks?
Yes—but they’re not the Jammer. Our Lightning Arms are lightweight yet durable pressing attachments designed for our HD Elite iD, HD Athletic NX, and HD Perimeter systems. They offer versatile pressing options, but for true explosive, ground-driven power, nothing replaces the original Hammer Strength Jammer.
