The 4 Best Hamstring Exercises | Hamstring Training

[@zachlabianco4788]

1) Hip extension pulley 2) Russian belt exercise 3) Prone leg curl 4) Nordic hamstring curl

[@kurtjanicki7325]

For upper hamstring/glute tie in, I have made tremendous progress over the past 6 months with wide and narrow heel presses on a standard leg press machine. Bring your feet all the way to the top of plate with only mid-foot to heel making contact. This combined with the other exercises listed here will help you develop great balance across the entire range of your hamstrings.

[@venom999333]

Get a GHD. No buddy required

[@richiemandina5305]

They have other videos for that

[@silversaver82]

@@venom999333 aren't those expensive?

[@stephendykes8501]

Excellent vids you put out. Thank you. On the Prone Leg Curl I would have liked to see more hip flexion on the 'non-exercising' leg to reduce the LB extension stress.

[@Physiotutors]

Good input and thanks for your comment 😊

[@paramjeetkaur2267]

Thanks Dr

For me Straight leg deadlift Single leg hamstring curl Hamstring curl both legs Can't beat these

[@meganmcdonald8161]

Great video, I like the variations using the cable pulley system. I just now need to adapt these exercises to make them more achievable for my elderly clients....

[@Physiotutors]

Reduce load and range of motion as a start?

[@meganmcdonald8161]

Physiotutors my client is 76, currently has proximal hamstring tear. Past history includes bilateral knee and one hip, one shoulder replacements. Shes unable to kneel or to get up off the floor. She's managing supine hip extensions with pulley or theraband, and a variation Ive come up with thats a mix between the russian one and nordic drops. I use a treatment table to block her thighs anteriorly (standing position), and she flexes at hips to drop onto treatment table and return to standing. Also managing to do the exercise of sliding into hip extension and using upper limbs and injured hamstring to return to upright (i forget the name of tbe exercise). Even with all the difficultly she's not lacking in motivation!

[@Physiotutors]

Sounds pretty good to us!

[@danielestrada8835]

Good stuff

[@n.k.939]

I like the prone leg curl exercise, but the following day i get knee pain (only in one of them). I see that one person mentioned in the comments to flex the hip of the resting leg. Tried that, didn't help. Any suggestions how not to hurt the knee with this exercise?

[@Physiotutors]

Soft ground?

[@copernicus99]

Cool stuff! The Nordic is too hard for most beginners. Any suggestion on how to ease into it and progress on that exercise?

[@Physiotutors]

+Y Fish I think you found the Nordic variation video already 😜

[@jeffro5032]

Just adding one thing here. Forward lunges also work the heck out of the hamstrings.

[@gapjunction11]

Great work as always! Just a tiny thing: At 3:16 you say "eccentric hip extension" in reference to lifting your leg up. Doesn't it have to be hip flexion then?

[@Physiotutors]

Thanks! It's eccentric action of the hip extensors

[@vika0194]

basically regular exercises but in a different way. you could do all these except the nordic hamstring with regular machines

[@Physiotutors]

Sure, the idea is to tackle all 4 different muscle bellies of the hamstrings or mainly the one that was injured. If you are rehabbing focusing on the eccentric part is key.

[@Sir_Woolerii]

Tbh how much the bands for the legs are an where to get them

[@ardodaniel32]

hey , some people say do deadlift or rdl or stiff legged deadlift for Hamstrings strengthening, arent they good for Hamstrings? what do you think?

[@Physiotutors]

The are surely great hamstrings exercises. This study examined maximal EMG activation for each of the different hamstring muscles (BF, ST, SM)

[@tomsh8787]

So if you've had a hamstring injury near the top of the muscle while sprinting, the best exercises to prevent recurrence would be those where you bend at the hip rather than the knee (i.e. the last two)? Is that correct?

[@Physiotutors]

Generally with sprinting the rectus femoris is strained. In that case it would make sense to select an exercise that works this muscle in particular. The hip extension conic pulley seems to work the proximal part of the long head more than the other 3 we presented yes.

[@tomsh8787]

Cheers

[@gothops2632]

@@Physiotutors You mean biceps femoris, not rectus femoris, right?

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Great job!

[@neilbeech4093]

That is cool 😎

[@dimzz100]

Thank u, but there is a research, comparison of hamstrings muscle activation during high speed running and various hamstring strengthening exercise, which show cases few more exercise. Can u please demostrate them, as they are hard to follow fron the text.

[@Physiotutors]

Ur welcome. There are definitely more exercises for the hamstrings and we based those exercises on EMG activity based on one study. Do you have a link to the study you are asking us to cover?

[@kurosaki541]

The only issue I have with doing single legged cable, is the amount of time it takes going from leg to leg. It's too much rest between each set in my eyes, very good video though mate. Keep up the good work.

[@Physiotutors]

That's personal preference and sometimes the 2 minute rest per leg is appreciated. Thanks!

[@spanking_noobs]

Jacob Staunton try no rest time with single leg movement with cable as one leg gets a good 1 to 2 minutes rest wile the other leg is working.put one strap on each leg to save time,

[@mazacarfc4802]

Can I do the last exercise for proximal hamstring rehab? Also, if I experience slight pain (2/10) should I stop or will the pain eventually go away after a few sessions because of strengthening in that region?

[@Physiotutors]

It kind of depends on the rehab phase you are in. In early rehab we'd advise to avoid excessive hip flexion as it causes compression of the hamstring tendon around the ischial tuberosity. In a later stage slight pain is okay (max 4/10) if it does not last longer than 24h. If it lasts longer, we'd advise to decrease the weight or the amount of hip flexion until your tendon can handle it.

There is different ways to stretch the Hamstrings. It makes sense to stretch it in a position that doesn't provoke the back pain of course.

[@thecatvirusgotme889]

Video title says "Best" exercises? Best for what purpose? None of these are for me as I strive to increase my hamstring size. Deadlift variations esp. RDLs and, squats and even step-ups are, IMO, way ahead of the exercises mentioned in this video.

[@Physiotutors]

Best hamstring rehab exercises. We're not a fitness channel and it's about how to tackle different muscles of the hamstring group

[@thecatvirusgotme889]

@@Physiotutors Got it. This just popped up with other exercise vids on my KZbin. Yes - all great rehab exercises.

Seated leg curls and Romanian dead lifts are options. Nordic curls can be done with the right kind of bench. That is if you can do them, which I can hardly accomplish.
