J-DUB, what a pleasant surprise!
Have you improved in the heavy unracks and Avishek drops? You were on such an ascending path back in the day with these exercises!

34 kg... hm... I think I can do about 3 at that weight, maybe 4.
But what you said about the high rep range applies here as well.

But then if the balance factor is such an issue, wouldn't it be better just to do a regular straight leg deadlift instead?

« on: April 09, 2013, 06:58:45 pm »What other ideas of good hamstring exercises do you have? I think straight leg deadlifts have felt the best to me so far but I'm very strong with them... I have I'd say very strong hamstrings anyway but still.
If you cant do ghr and reverse hypers, I like rdl and single leg rdls holding onto something with the off hand. The single leg rdls with the balance issue taken out turn into one hell of a glute ham destroyer, and allow you to really focus on overloading the muscles this way. Only issue Ive had with them is once someone gets very strong, its harder to hold a 150 plus pound dumbell, even with straps in one hand. Once you get to that point you will have already developed some great strength regardless.
I was doing them with a bar back in the day but I did bent the knee sometimes... not sure if it was because of stability issues or just because of weakness... is that a sign of weak hamstrings (and thus transferring the stabilization into the quads by bending the knee)?

« on: April 09, 2013, 06:57:05 pm »By the way - how does a foot elevated straight leg hip thrust sound? It's very similar to what happens in a one-leg jump and you can overload it to your heart's consent.
Makes sense why it would work, havent tried it though so I have no idea if it would or not. Try and see.
I think also a one-leg "back extension" on the hyperextension machine would work too, although it would have a different way of loading than the one-leg straight-leg hip thrust.
I remember this was a "secret exercise" in the Vertical Project of Puke Lowery™

I could basically post here non-stop as I have tens of pictures like this (not me, just from facebook sources) but it gets really annoying to copy-paste tag as IMG etc etc etc...
