Guys:
I’ve got a power rack and a bench and an oly set…no leg curl no whatever. Don’t want it.
What I do want is a good hammie workout.
I do bent knee good mornings. I do stiff knee good mornings.
I’ve done RDL’s, last night I tried the Dimel from Dave Tate’s latest column (and I think was doing it wrong.) I need something that’s going to hit the hammies.
When I first started doing good mornings, my hams got sore. Now, nothing…and I don’t feel a stretch or anything like that.
Can anyone help? Anyone got any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
try stiff legged dead lifts. if you stand on a 2-4" platform you get even more stretch if you need it.
Glute Ham Raise machine from Elite Fitness is the best thing if you have the $$$
Major Dan hit it on the head.
The Stiff/Straight leg deadlifts kick ass.
The photos won’t load, but maybe you can decipher the exercises withou illustrations

I’ve published a few articles on hamstring work here but there really is a host of great exercises you can do with very minimal equipment such as (a) Hi-Box Step Up (b) Natural Glute Ham Raise (c) One-legged Good Morning and the(d) waiter’s bow. You shouldn’t also discount the use of many postural holds that will pay great dividends. If your equipment allows it, I would suggest adding (e) Snatch Grip Deadlifts and (g) Good Morning Squats not mention all the squat varitions.
Good luck,
In faith,
