00:00Here is how to grow your hamstrings. The hamstrings contribute to both hip extension and knee flexion.
00:06The hamstrings are greater activated with a straight knee so we can use a 45 degree back
00:10extension or a stiff legged deadlift. By training the hamstrings and hip extension we will see more
00:15proximal hypertrophy and more of the semimembranosus, biceps femoris longhead and the
00:20semitendinosus. A leg curl will train the hamstrings and knee flexion. This will allow for more distal
00:26hypertrophy. We will see more of the biceps femoris short head and the semitendinosus.
00:31External rotation will bias more of the lateral hamstrings while internal rotation will bias more
00:36of the medial hamstrings. You can use a seated or lying leg curl but the seated is a bit better
00:42because it works the hamstrings at a longer muscle length and allows for more stability.
