Need an hamstring exercise

[Guest guest]

I am gearing up for my 2nd 4 weeks of BFL... I need one more

hamstring exercise... last round (well this current round) I am

doing the big set as straight leg deadlifts and my one set exercise

is lying leg curls.. this round I want to do the big set as lying

leg curls and so I need one for my one big set... Any ideas???

Thanks, Juls

All compound leg exercises like lunges and squats work both quads and

hamstrings to a degree. If you have access to a leg press, placing

your feet high on the plate targets the hamstrings and glutes. With

lunges, a smaller step forward makes it work mostly quads and a great

big step forward, especially with a pause and contraction, targets

hamstrings and glutes. Step-ups onto a tall (knee-high) bench get

hamstrings and glutes involved as well as quads.

I haven't tried these stability ball leg curls, but I have done the

single-leg bench curls and they're surprisingly effective:

You could also do hyperextensions if you have the right bench:

Some people do good mornings, but those are a little iffy for me

because of my back:

, thanks for the links... I was on their sites this morning but

will go back to them this afternoon.... I am not comfortable with

the good morning ones but hopefully in time I will find the

confidence... The one you mentioned with the leg press (feet

positioned higher) was the one I was wondering about.... I was

thinking about choosing that one... will go to that site and check

into it a little more!!

Thanks! Juls
