Fat Girl strikes again!

I would have said something, but i dont much care for confruntation. The last time some chick took my machine (leg adductors) i told her that i had been using it and i would like to work in with her... and she looked up at me (another woman who choses to sit on the machine inbewteen sets) and in this really snoody voice she was like "NOOO, im using it!"

Too bad its inappropriate to hit women!

Ha ha, hitting would be funny... but sad... but yet still funny.

stiff legged deads, while good for the hams, shouldn't be the end all be all of your hamstring training. for two years all i did was stiff legged deads and thought that was enough for my hams. then when my training split worked out to me moving my stiff legged deads over to a traps/hams day, i needed another exercise to hit my hams. so i laid down on a machine and cranked out some leg curls. my first set i failed on my 10th rep with the pin at 60lbs. at that stage in my training, i was doing heavy SL deads 315 for sets of 5. i thought my hams had decent strength to them. NOPE. since then in about two months of doing machine leg curls i've more than doubled the amount of weight i can do and my hams have thickened up. stiff legged deads doesn't really do much as far as strengthening the two tendons(i have no idea what the medical terms for them is) that go from your hams to your traps(on the opposite side of the knee). that was was a major weakpoint for me for a while there.

Supersizeme, yeah, i never really feel the pump in hmy hams after SLDLs. My lower back gets super pumped, but all i really feel is a stretch in my hams at the bottom of the movement.

I am gonna start doing what I think someone calles ham/glute raises where you lock your feet in and lower yourself (face down) with your hams. I tried it this weekend, just to see what it was like, and it felt super awesome. I had to push myself back up with the help of my hands, but just from one test set, i could tell it was gonna work wonders for my hams.

Excited now to get to hams day.... damn- 4 days away!

yes, glute/ham raises work well..especially if theres no access to a machine. any more good hammie lifts anybody cares to share?
