[@hydrogirl53]

Thank you for also showing at home options!!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

So glad the options help :-)

[@tejos4xyz]

Informative video...that thumbnail is so cool.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Thanks! Glad it helps!

[@XHollisWood]

Thank you Cori ✌🏻🫶🏻

[@adegbenroagoro5180]

Thank you very much Cori

[@carolinelane9599]

Thanks Cori. I actually went and locked up yltge importance of hamstrings. Had no idea they were so important so thank you.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

So glad the video helped! And so glad you did some bonus research as the more we know and value something, the more we often prioritize the changes or habits we need!

[@s.bhaskar1736]

Very nice options Cori! I'd like to add Nordic Hamstrings Curls too! very good for strength.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Amazing option for sure!

[@liteicedcoffee]

Much needed info! It is all too easy to neglect the short head of my hammies. Loved the seated leg extension, toes inward, tip!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

So glad that tweak helped!

[@reddy3400]

Thumbs up, Thank You!

[@immaculatenden9165]

Thank you 🎉 useful

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Glad it helps!

[@ΓιώργοςΚουτσιούλης]

How nice moves!

[@MrWillWright]

Thank you for warning us about the surprising challenge of the glute bridge and hamstring curl. That said, last night I completed three rounds of 10 to 15 reps. What if I put a 12lb dumbbell on my core as I do the curl?

[@darnitthelma4247]

Love this! Thank you Cori! Broken shoulder is preventing me from exercising the way I want to but lower body is the way forward for now ❤

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@darnitthelma4247]

@ thank you 💛

[@Drrck11]

Good ideas. Gonna try out that seated Hamstring curl.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Enjoy!

[@LevePalestinaKrossaSionismen]

Thank you so much for this video, Cori! This is exactly what I needed, especially since I'm limited to training at home with two 20 lbs dumbbells. Much appreciated! 🙏💖✨

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Aw yay! Glad the home options helped!

[@LevePalestinaKrossaSionismen]

@redefiningstrengthOC The home options are immensely helpful! I cannot convey my gratitude enough, Cori!! 🏆🌟✨

[@BBurnett333]

The variations were so cool to watch! I get stuck when using the discs on the carpet once I extend. BUHAHAHA. Team 1% modifying while laughing with herself. Thanks Cori!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

You're amazing B! Love how you always find opportunity in everything! And pushing down hard for consistent tension into the ground is actually key. And yea...sometimes they can get stuck even then or you lose one haha!!

[@Gymrat-ul8xs]

Love this video for different exercises. Thanks Cori for this informative video. They will be challenging and I like that. 😅😢❤❤

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Glad the options help!

[@dissomat]

From 6:05 min a new and practicable aspect of Nordic Hamstring Curls for me. Thanks for that!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

A deceptively hard variation for looking so "simple" too!

[@Samuestar]

Exactly what I need after my ACL surgery earlier this year with a hamstring tendon. Still hard for me to optimally engage my hamstrings

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Make sure to build back slowly but even focusing on some isolation moves to start to re-establish that mind-body connection may be key!

[@sharp1162]

Nordic curls, hamstring curls, good mornings, RDL.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Love that you have the moves you love and work for you! Some great variations there!

[@kecrn4132]

Just wondering if those 4 exercises would be enough to do on a glute/ ham day? Or would we need a couple more, more glute focused exercises??

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

I honestly may not use all 4 on the same day but it would depend on the breakdown of the week and even volume on each move.

[@Angie.GiGi.Ari.86]

These exercises are for people that have never had back problems or want to have them. There are variations on these that are alot better and more safe to use

[@charleshill5196]

Kettle bell swings 👍🏾

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

KB swings are a great move to target those glutes and the posterior chain! And a more power focused movement often!

[@Stationary76]

I pulled a hammy just watching this! :P

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

I hope not! Definitely meet yourself where you are at to build up! :-)

[@chrisbell1766]

The last move look to much like a Nordic curl but you probably could add weight for resistance and strengthen the move even more

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

It is similar. The other standard Nordic Curl keeps static hip position and is a knee dominant movement. This is a hip dominant variation of it. And you can add a weight best or weight at your chest to progress!

[@stephaddiction]

I cannot at all figure out how I am eating weight in protein, working on legs 3x week and LOSING my butt 😭😭😭😭 I'm so depressed

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Hi Steph! I see your comments frequently about struggling to have clear direction or focus...and about working hard without results. I don't mean to be pushy, but coaching may be the kickstart you need! redefiningstrength.com/private-coaching?sl=yc One size doesn't fit all and all systems need to work together!

[@Angelbabs2023]

I herniated my disc @ L1/L2 doing deadlifts! The neurosurgeon advised me to NEVER EVER do deadlifts again 😢

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

That actually makes me sad as simply avoiding a movement pattern doesn't teach us to control it. And while not every move is right for every person, so often we demonize a movement pattern like hip hinging we NEED in every day life and just put ourselves at great risk for injury. Instead we need to modify, use the variations right for us, address mobility issues and activation issues and build up! Sharing as food for thought - redefiningstrength.com/stop-demonizing-exercises-4-myths-debunked?sl=yc

[@Angelbabs2023]

​@redefiningstrengthOC Thank you so much. That makes sense however, I'm afraid to do deadlifts now! The neurosurgeon stated that deadlifts put too much strain on that area of the spine! I will check out the link you sent me and I do use hip hinges in my exercises. I just avoid deadlifts!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Deadlifts are hip hinges and there isn't just one form. Maybe you don't do barbell right now because you can't control the bar and tension back into your shins. But even barbell deadlifts there are sumo, conventional, single leg, RDL...And we hip hinge or deadlift boxes off the ground and use this movement pattern in every day life. So I'm not saying to jump straight to heavy loads or the variation you couldn't control...YET...but getting form assessed and learning to load in a hip hinge variation correctly to build up is truly key!
