Hamstrings

[jJjburton]

What is the way to build hamstrings? I guess i just started really focusing on activating them better.

For hupertrophy purposes, what exercises do you use use?

Seated curls provide most complete activation. But, you may be overthinking it, a little. Treat the same as any other muscle group and eat, rinse, repeat. I do one quad focused day(let’s say 10 sets quads, 6 sets hammy), one hammy focused day(9-10 sets hammy, 8 sets quads) a week.

So plantarflexion your toes for laying and sitting hammy curls?

 

[BigBox]

As compound movement RDL‘s or SLDL‘s
then seated and lying hamstring curl to overload the contracted and the stretch position

Yes. Switch to dorsiflexion when you come to failure.
Nordic Curl I hear is great too but haven't tried em myself.

Ok yes that makes sense, because dorsi is easier. Good call. So it acts like a drop set kind of.
