Basic Hamstring Workout

Hamstrings tend to be neglected by many.  For balance and strength, however, hamstring development is a must. Hamstrings are NOT hard to develop if trained correctly.

Most people I have encountered who have weak hamstring development either don't train them or don't train them properly. What I mean when I say proper training is using correct form. When training hamstrings, it is crucial  not to "jerk" or "throw" the weight up.  You must lower and raise the weight in a controlled fashion.  If you do this, your hamstrings will be "on fire" by the time your workout is complete.

Here are my favorite hamstring exercises. Choose two per hamstring workout.

1) Stiff leg Deadlifts

3 sets of 15 reps

2) Lying Leg Curls

3 sets of 12 reps

3) Standing Leg Curls

3 sets of 10 reps

4) Lying Dumbbell Leg Curls
    (dumbbell held between feet)

3 sets of 8-10 reps

Make sure to train intensely and correctly.

Note: Before embarking on any nutrition, supplementation, and/or training program, consult with your physician or other licensed health-care professional.
