hamstring curls

[am32ibarl]

I was doing hamstring curls at the gym and they were very awkward and someone came up to me and said that they don't even bother doing them because they already get worked out enough when you do compound lifts. Do they have a point and should I even waste my time isolating my hamstrings

i don't often do hammy curls, and yes if you do typical compound lifting they get hit plenty

really they need to be stretched out if anything post workout

why do hamstring curls? I just do lunges and squats no need for more hommie

 

[JasonPriest]

most lifters have super strong hamstrings already but weak quads

bro hammy curls like for poosies, one dude on tanker was doing them other day and we beat him unmercifully for it

Depends - do you want them to stand out or just be 'worked'?

There is absolutely no need, squats and lunges are far more effective

Give your body some time heal....

Make sure you work every part of your body and give them ample time to recover!

The compound lifts do hit them very well but I do like to isolate them every now and then.
