ideas for lagging hamstrings?
- Thread starter DAWNLYNN
- Start date
Sled dragging is number one in my book. I have been doing a ton of it lately and it will do just about everthing from the bottom of the calves to the lower back including hams of course.
Sled dragging advantages
-Its cheap, almost free. I made mine out of a discarded tire and cheap rope
-No technique to learn really just tie a rope to a weighted sled and walk
-No chance of injury
-No spotter needed
-You wont get sore
-Its also better cardio than jogging or running
-Your neighbors will think you are a weirdo
-it wont stress your joints
I could go on and on but I got serious about it two weeks ago and drag almost every night and my legs are already better (looks and strength)

I LOOOOOOVE SLDLs! They feel so - satisfying! (Not in a sexual way!) That might sound weird. But I get that feeling with lat exercises, too.
I might have more ham strength 'naturally' or from running. But my hams are DEFINITELY getting stronger since I've been lifting. I don't have a problem using my hams in the squat.
Spatts -- FINALLY I get to see what "sled dragging" looks like! I was picturing an actual sled (like the kids slide downhill on in the snow) with stuff piled on it!
I must say -- dragging that thing on asphalt looks like it make a lot of noise.

Holy cow!!!
What a good idea!
*looks for something to make a sled with*
got great hills around here ...
What kind of belt is that that guy has on?
Actually, in retrospect, I can't say that squats, lunges, and walking hills on the treadmill did NOTHING for my hamstrings. Once upon a time (now, NOBODY laugh!!!) I could barely do 10 lbs on the hamstring curl without cramps and "OUCH YOU'RE HURTING ME!" pain. Now I can do 35, so I must have accomplished SOMETHING.
Nowhere near what you people can do I'll bet.
