Hamstring Training Science (Video demo: 2 working sets of RDL's from yesterdays training session) The hamstrings cross two joints: the hip and the knee. To train them optimally, you need to target both of their primary functions: knee flexion and hip extension. This is why both leg curls and... show more

Bloody amazing. Can I get this man a spritz of creatine all over him just so he can grow bigger for us.

Good post. Thanks for the pointers.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not getting a lot of stimulus out of RDLs - maybe I'm going too heavy or not low enough

Mikey! I was in a car accident when I was 17 that left my lower back permanently damaged and I can’t do some of the major leg exercises, like RDL’s or Squats. What is an exercise that I could do to get similar results in your opinion?

Mikey1 year ago

Stick with leg curls, could also do bodyweight hypers if there is no pain.

There’s 2 ways to throw from 1 knee: 1. Throwing arm knee: works on arm path and power position 2. Glove side knee: works on hip rotation and follow through to target Do both in succession.

Congratulations to Robert MacIntyre on his first PGA TOUR win 😃🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️👏🏼 Here is a video of Bob from the Hero cup last year. Most leg strength & power activities are achieved through a combination of work from the ankle, knee and hip but the respective joint contribution will differ depending on the task. Here he compliments a heavy pull with a hip dominant jump (horizontal) and a knee dominant jump (vertical) eliciting a spectrum of strength training adaptations to support power generation in his swing.

The hip flexors are a powerful muscle that have connections to the groin & even the front of the lumbar spine vertebrae! They're responsible for flexing the hip and driving the knee up & forward and compensating for weak hip flexors can cause problems up & down the kinetic chain

The best hamstring exercise you’re not doing - Gliders. I wish I started using these years ago. My athletes hamstrings have never been healthier. Gliders provide what’s missing in most hamstring programs: biceps femoris length and a touch of pelvic stability They don’t beat sprints, RDLs, or seated hamstring curls. But fit perfectly on low days And can be the missing piece for athletes with a history of hamstring issues Thanks to @justintmayo for the clip.

Dynamic effort to start us off in the weightroom each week! 2 leg loaded box jumps. Single leg hops adding a quick response to a controlled landing. Down the line singles on hang clean. Lateral groin work and knee dominate hamstring/hip work. Parnter Neck work to finish🔥

Are your hips TIGHT? Or WEAK? If it’s a STRENGTH ISSUE here are THREE movements loading the hips at length, isolating hip flexion and loading the hips involving the hip and posterior line.

Jayden Daniels Right hamstring vs. knee injury His hamstring was stretched in an abnormal position. If his knee is involved, it’s most likely an injury to his (posterior) meniscus. ACL unlikely but possible. You would think it would have been to his left knee the way it bent but no. That was the knee he previously injured. You can see him grab the back of his right leg/knee at the end of the play.

5. How to fix APT naturally 1) Strengthen your posterior chain • Glute bridges • Romanian deadlifts • Hamstring curls • Hip thrusts 2) Stretch and release hip flexors • Couch stretch • Lunge stretch • Deep breathing into the hips 3) Strengthen your core (properly) • Dead bugs • Plank variations • Ab rollouts (slow and controlled) 4) Improve daily posture • Stand tall, ribs down, glutes engaged • Limit sitting, or use standing breaks • Train awareness. Not just muscles

Two goblet squat mistakes are limiting most people's depth without them realizing it. Arching on the way down collapses the leg inward. Going too wide blocks hip internal rotation and causes knee cave. Pre-inhale + narrower stance fixes both immediately

KNEE HEALTH - A lot going around on knee pain and mobility. The knee most of the time is just trying its best between what is going on with the hip or knee outside of an acute injury. Here are some of the loading patterns I have used to strengthen and bolster that area.

Pre game/training warm up. Activate the leg. 1. Single leg swings short and long. 2. Power band for some resistance with leg swing. Standing and in 1 knee stance or Primary. Activate from catching position!

Many people who consider themselves fit can't pass three basic hip mobility checks 1) Squat down until your hip crease drops below your knee 2) Stand on one leg and pull the opposite knee past 90 degrees 3) The sit-and-rise test—lower yourself to the floor cross-legged, then stand back up, without using your hands or knees at any point The sit-and-rise test (demo video in the reply) is the one worth obsessing over, because it's a proxy for longevity

A root cause of tight hamstrings, poor posture, and lower back pain? Weak hips - one of the most under trained muscle groups. It can even have a domino effect and lead to knee and ankle issues. One strategy to avoid this is “Copenhagens”. NBA players do these for injury prevention, improving stability and balance. Great to do at home and uses the lateral flexion movement pattern of your spine. Too hard? Rest your knee instead of foot on the bench. Too easy? Bend your off-knee and perform them weighted with a plate. Execution: 1. Support your bodyweight on your elbow (should be directly under your shoulder). 2. Place the inside of your foot on a bench. 3. Lift your hip off the floor by pushing your foot down onto the bench.
