Hamstring workout ZERO equipment

[@benitocamela174]

Bro seriously went from air leg curls to one of the hardest exercises ever

[@TheRealNickG]

FULL nordic is the hardest ever, but he does give something of a progression. If you look closely he is actually recommending more than two exercises.

[@benitocamela174]

@@TheRealNickG yeah, ok but those progressions are still tough af, especially for someone heavy. He could have also talked about sliding leg curls before he went up to nordics lol

[@masterleon40]

First exercise puts the hamstrings in active insufficiency, which means they are not able to generate almost any mechanical tension, which means very little growth is gonna come from that exercise, because growth is directly related to mechanical tension. Nordic curl is actually a really good exercise tho, that one's gonna make your hamstrings stronger than titanium if progressive overload is applied correctly over time.

[@brandonw2471]

The second exercise is a nice bodyweight movement. It's great that he showed this one and how to progress to more difficult variations, since it is not easy to train lower body with bodyweight and have enough resistance. But the first one won't do anything because there's no resistance.

[@todorival]

i did the leg curls at the beginning while laying down thinking it was easy. had a solid 10 minutes of insane hamstring cramps.

Floor slides are good too. It’s just a glute bridge while you slide either your body or feet back and forth. I found it fixed my “ass girdle” issues I was having from sitting all the time

As a Marine vet with a spinal cord injury (syringomyelia C4-C5 & T3-T9 ) I was bedridden most of my 20s because of paralysis and one of the only reasons I'm up and about now is from educating myself on proper stretching... along with other things such as proper eating and getting out into nature... our body's are capable of so much as long as we just let them do what they need to at their fundamental levels. Keep up with spreading the best kind of knowledge!

[@J4T20]

Instructions unclear: leg stopped working

[@I.m-Me]

PSA: As a massage therapist who has worked on devotees of both Crossfit and Studio Barre, I will tell you that both styles build muscle but static holds will cause high tension, which makes them hard and inflexible. To also make them supple, comfortable, and less prone to injury, please finish off with resistive stretching or moving several times through your full, comfortable range of motion. (Both are more effective than basic stretches. For even better results, go as slowly as you comfortably can.)

[@Ladynipchick2]

What is resistive stretching???

[@I.m-Me]

@@Ladynipchick2 There are different names for variations on the technique, but basically, y'know how a regular stretch is uncomfortable at the end and your body tells you that you're going to injure yourself if you overdo it? Instead, try flexing the muscle you're about to stretch, then keep pulling against the stretch as you lengthen the muscle. You don't get the "be careful" pain as soon because your body feels protected. On top of that, your brain is giving extra attention to the parts that you're squeezing and stretching at the same time and you release some of the tension that is just a habitual pattern you've formed in your brain. You are supposed to not take this technique to the point of pain because that's both unsafe and counterproductive when trying to get your brain to release tension. During this process, you can increase the effectiveness by doing any or all of the following: - Remember to breathe. - Focus on the sensations in the parts you're working with. - Either a constant rate of effort or a controlled release are fine. (Usually I pull against a stationary object. Don't do it with people who may not stop when you say to. Be aware that you may not be equally strong throughout your range of motion - possibly dramatically weaker in an instant.) - Time the motion to your deepest comfortable breath, or go as slowly as is comfortable. (Teacher's teacher said, "If you think you're going slowly enough, go slower." It makes you take charge of more specific parts. If the muscle stutters, this will improve your coordination.) - Exhale and _fully_ relax at the end, even if you have to inhale first. (Otherwise it's basically just exercise.) - Press the muscle/s against a surface, preferably something hard and uniform.* TLDR: Pull against stretch while maintaining breath, focus, & slowness, and relax deeply at the end. Press against a surface if safe and desired. * _This requires a bit more explanation:_ There will be a greater effect where you have more sensation because pressing on the muscle helps you become aware of the shape and level of your tension. Do not press so hard that it causes pain during the process. If you press on only part of it or with something lumpy, you will feel those shapes as areas that are looser than the others when you check the results. If there is a large difference, the tighter portions of the uneven muscle are at greater risk of injury when doing physical activities at the flexibility level of the rest of the rest of the muscle. I tend to press against flat things (or the reverse) and repeat the technique at various angles to keep reducing the hardest parts of the muscle.

[@I.m-Me]

@@Ladynipchick2 P.S.: You can get some phenomenal instant results if you maintain your focus. Another optional steps is to paying attention to your body sensations, tensions, posture, comfort level, &/range of motion before you begin. It improves your results, and also gives you a baseline how you're doing from day to day

[@Ladynipchick2]

@@I.m-Me So basically lengthen AND contract at the same time??? Have I got that basic understanding right or am I way off? 🤓

[@I.m-Me]

@@Ladynipchick2 You've got it! 😄 Think of it kind of like deliberately losing an arm wrestling match: you can pretend to be just a little weaker than your opponent, or you can pretend to slowly lose strength. You can substitute an object or weight for the opponent and use gravity as the force. When using stationary objects or architectural features you will wind up moving the rest of your body instead of the part you would if it were a mobile object. *Important note:* You want to support/brace the joint in question against something stable so that you focus your efforts on just doing that one thing, otherwise you're adding a lot of tension to other places, increasing the difficulty, and decreasing the effectiveness.

[@haepisaus]

Hamstrings are one of the most undertrained muscles due to the inability to understand how to activate it and how it's always perceived to need some form of weight or resistance to train. Great clip

By the way guys, I’d like to mention that in the start you will probably do terribly at the nordic curls, that’s normal, but eventually you should be getting all the way down to the floor and back up. Just wanted to mention because it looks like he didn’t have enough space in his kitchen to show that you can and should eventually go deeper than that.
