Train Hams on Same Day as quads

[RoNiN]

I train the entire leg on my first day of my split. Quads and hams are good together as the blood flows in the same region and so will all nutrients during recovery.

I ALWAYS TRAIN SAME DAY, I TRAIN HAMMYS FIRST, 6-8 SETS, THEN SQUTS 3-4 SETS, THEN EXTENSIONS 4 SETS. TRAINING HAMS FIRST WARMS ME UP WELL AND DOES NOT SEEM TO HURT MY SQUAT.

if you train quads like your SUPPOSED TO (controlled annhilation, brutal weights with strict form, or total burn with moderate weights), you will not be able to do any other body part effectively or at all unless your doing some light supersets or something

There's no way that I can sufficiently train Hammies on the same day I train Quads. I like to train all of my bodyparts with maximum intensity, and there is just not enough energy left in my body after a quad workout to come close to getting an optimal hammie workout. Anyone that trains quads the way they should, should be splitting there workouts.

I Have to agree. You train quads like a beast...and you are too busy puking and trying to see where you are to do hamstrings....I do them with back.

I do hams with back, only because I do deadlifts with back.

Exactly. I train Back/Hams two days after my quad workout. When working quads, I will finish with 3 sets of 25 superstrict and slow reps on the laying leg curl machine. But this is just for the pump, since the hams have been indirectly contributing to my squats. My real workout for hams comes on back day. When they are fresh and ready to expand energy on building themselves, not acting as stablilizers.

i always train the entire lower part the same day, quads, hams, calves

I do hams with back, only because I do deadlifts with back.

This is what I have done recently and the results are there!

I used to train them seperate but now together. doing quads first just totally pre exausts the hams.
