Best Hamstring Workouts?

[shiggyduh]

What are the best hamstring strengthening exercises? Decided to go natty. Was advised to actually. Soon, these would be to help rebuild a ha,my from surgery. Thanks.

Glute ham raises are the best in existence. Its like a pull up for your posterior chain. Stiff leg dl and good mornings are good also, but not superior imo.

^that..
and then deadlifts and squats of course...

I'll have to Google some of them. And hey moya! I feel like those to feel my like quads. I was looking for more one legged routines because I cheat using my strong leg to do most of the work. I do do hack sqauts, leg press single legged. And we do have a standing ham curl machine but that causes me too much pain still.

The hams are a pretty simple muscle group to train. Similar to bicep really. I would just do, stiff legged dl's, and 2 variations of the leg curl.

DO THEM ANY WAY BRO!!!!! Just go VERY light if it hurts and go for reps. Dont worry about the weight. And dont try to go heavy at all. Once you continue to do that a while, you will get used to them and it wont hurt so much, than you GRADUALLY add on the weight.

Just take it slowly and pay close attention to your body. Keep strict form

I would switch your hams to four sets deadlifts and 2 sets leg curls. Go back and forth with a stretch for one and contracted for the other.

GRH is the best hands down though...

squats and deads you feel more in your quads because your hams are weak and you are probably either using a poor setup or not going deep enough (depth of squat or getting your hips low on the dead)...
