hamstrings

what exersizes do u do for them, sets n reps n stuff.. are they a priority for u and how long do they generally take to recover for u?
must do anything to have massive hamstrings

lying leg curls, standing leg curls, and stuff leg deadlifts are the excersizes i used geared towards the hams.

usually one week i'll do one excersize for like 5 sets then the next week i'll pick 2 and 3 sets of each. all in the 10-12 rep ranges.

my legs are a pain when it comes to recovery time, they'll be sore for days. and the second day is always worse than the first with legs for me.

Stiff-leg deadlifts, good-mornings, and pull-throughs every week, usually for 10-12 reps. That combined with all the squats and regular deads have done my hamstrings some good.

i start with leg curls, 3 to 4 sets about 10 to 15 reps then i do stiff leg dead lifts 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps and last is lunges 3 sets 10 reps to failure. i work quads once a week and hamstrings once a week but not on the same day and add calves to both work outs.

there aint much exersize choice for directly hitting the hamstring is there.. aside from what you'se all mentioned there is squats, leg press and lunges but i was hoping there were some more moves out there

dont think there are... except from glut-ham raises...

YouTube - Music Video of me performing Glut-Ham Raises

Layne Norton doing them

damn that looks rough.....I do those but I can only go down slow like a negative, still cant come back up.

**bbdude** · 03-30-2007, 09:52 AM

most people cant do that with their own bodyweight, and he is doing it with weights...

Dylan5000 · 03-30-2007, 12:56 PM

Yeah, Layne doing GHR's with added weight is absolutely sick. No wonder he's such a great deadlifter.

**bbdude** · 03-30-2007, 06:35 PM

i believe his erector spinae and gluteus maximus is not involved in GHR's??

lunges or single leg press... gotta go deep to get the stretch!
