@coach_mundy_: Speaking from both science and experience; I’ve never had issues doing leg curls of any kind, but there was a time I couldn’t touch my toes, let alone my shins. Now I can lay my whole hand on the ground or pull my nose to my knees. - This is what made all the sense to me about distal and proximal regions of the hamstrings. I was strong around the knees, but weak closer to the hip. It wasn’t until I took the time to actually strengthened the proximal region to where I have the level of hamstring flexibility/strength now. There is such thing a distal and proximal tears and I used to always pull my hamstring higher up my leg than lower. - Does this matter in bodybuilding? Possibly. A strong muscle is a flexible muscle. I started experiencing better hamstring gains due to the level of flexibility plus the hamstrings benefit from length anyway, they are weakest when they’re short. - How to set your training up? 2-5 total sets for hamstrings makes sense, sets will vary based on your level of training and they can be easily damaged. Doing two knee flexion exercises in the same session does not make sense, so if u were to do two hamstrings movements, pick a curl and a type of hip extension. Progressively overload your movements and that is it - Like, comment, share #gym #Fitness #bodybuilding #fyp #GymTok #foryou
