Do you train your hamstrings

[DEhayley]

I have very tight hamstrings and they are very strong already. I used to do a lot of weight training when I played football in high school and college and I think I build them really strong. I played running back and we have to have strong legs to be able to break tackles. now in my late twenties I'm wondering if I should still be training my hamstrings or should I focus more on my quads

You should be training all the muscles in the legs. Not just one particular set of muscles.

you need to improve the mobility and flexibility of your hammies. i suggest yoga

bro only poosies neglect hammies. squats and lunges FTW

I don't do hamstring curls anymore, I do compound lifts for legs

It's already been asked in a different way. Here's the link: https://www.elitefitness.com/forum/.../do-you-work-out-your-hamstrings-1504031.html

Focus on stretching and also use foam rolling.... Give importance to overall body, quads, hamstrings, glutes all....

I do lying leg curls. Deadlifts also work them too

I suggest hamstrings lunges, but first warm up properly

You need to get them stretched out properly so they are not so tight
