Bro do u not remember the groin injury I keep talkin about? Lol any hamstring work hurts right now, I could try some sldl's but ghr's and lunges hurt. I might try some leg curls as well
I was about to suggest leg curls. People will tell you oh leg curls are for pussies and they arnt functional blah blah blah but I like lying leg curls and they have been a staple on my hamstring day since I started a split routine. I get a better contraction that RDL's or hypers and they also hit calves hard. Granted I get a better stretch with a romanian deadlift and I can use more weight but by the sounds of it you cant do romanian deadlifts or hypers so leg curls sound like a good alternative for you.
Why not do this for your lower body day
Squats
Calves
Leg Curls
Abs
just do more sets than usual for the squats and leg curls since they are all your doing...
that is probably what I would do in your situation anyway. And depending on how you squat you may feel like leg extensions would benefit you, but if you primarily squat with your quads then you might not feel the need for them.

thanks bro. Yea i agree that leg curls are gay but im injured so in this case they are not gay. contraction dont mean shit, progression is everything. I think my routine for leg day will be like you said
squats 5x5
leg curls 4x10
light db lunges
light leg press
calves
I literally have no reason to do abs other than1x a week
Thanks bro! Ive had it since spring lol, right around march/april. I have not done much to try to make it better, i constantly re injure it playing basketball or other running activities. It is actually almost gone now though, so im pretty stoked. But id hate to re-injure it so im staying away from anything that makes it hurt even a TINY bit.
im starting that routine on monday cant wait!

There's nothing gay about leg curls. They directly strengthen the hamstrings and are great for building them up.
The problem is dorks that do leg curls and that's it. You need a pulling type exercise like deads, stiff-deads etc in combo with leg curls to work the hamstring from top to bottom.
I just started doing some leg curls in addition to the basic deadlift and they are already poppin out more when I flex them.
Plus, I doubt there is one pro bodybuilder that does not do leg curls.

I added leg curls into the routine. I also want to add GHR's back in when my groin is fully healed
back or chest today! idk if it should go back-chest-legs-shoulders, or chest-back-legs-shoulders. I just dont want my back workout to affect my leg workout the day after. i think im gonna do back today.
