Hamstring are a biarticulate muscle, meaning they cross at two different joints; the hip and knee. Deadlifts and good mornings are great hip extension exercises, and leg curls and glute ham raises are great knee flexion exercises. Including both types of exercises into your program is great for overall hamstring development and can potentially reduce injury risk in some athletes. Outside of the deadlift of course, the Nordic hamstring curl is my favorite hamstring exercise due to its large eccentric component - something many lifters lack when doing deadlifts since we don’t control the movement on the downward portion of the lift that much. The goal is to load the hamstring as much as possible by doing slow eccentrics. Don’t have access to this machine? Have a friend pin your legs to the ground instead. #strengthtraining #hamstrings #hamstringcurls #eccentric
