Awesome article. As a cyclist my hamstrings get neglected on the bike so I really have to hit my hamstrings hard in my other workouts.

I’ll definitely be doing a lot of “Leg Curl 2 Up 1 Down” from now on when I’m in the gym.

Hey Young Athlete! It would be a good assistance exercise. The 5*5 is awesome but doesn’t address your hammies a lot. Squatting gets them a bit, but not targetted. So if you want to change it up a bit, add some of these in. And you mention track, then definitely you want to do some hamstring work.

Cheers

Nice article this would be a good assistance exercise with stronglifts 5X5? or is squating ATG good enough work? Also, loved the tennis ball articles really helps my legs loosen up after track.

When I was a kid I had to do stretching exercises because my hamstrings were so tight. I don’t know how my doctor found out they were so tight.

I can’t watch all those videos because I have a very old slow computer. It takes a long time to download just one video. I’m sure that they are good, but my computer, (the old lady), is just not up to it.

Excellent!

In two years I have not written about this muscle on Real Muscle Online! You are right; it is the forgotten muscle.

Keep up the great work Lauren.
