Thanks for this bro!

Bang, Bang, Bang

Yeeeeeeea

A true and honest hero.

Fuckin legend.

🙏

Yup !

Truth. I eat in between every video. Gotta stay anabolic

Intramuscular force is what is require to stimulate muscle growth. And the muscles internal moment arm (what you’re referring to) has nothing to do with intramuscular force production. Further, as far as hip extension is concerned, the glutes always have a larger internal moment arm compared to the hamstrings (as far as where they cross over the femur/pelvis articulation). Which is one of the issues with RDLs. Glutes always have a mechanical advantage compared to hams.

Can be a great option

Thats why he said he left some out of the list. Pretty sure nordic would fit here as well.

@@TheMolina297 Probably not considering they are not at all effective for progressive overload.

Can you do a full rep? Hard to accumulate volume on that movement because of how difficult it is.

😂awesome! 👊🙏🙏

​@@HypertrophyCoach What rep range do you recommend for the seated leg curls and SLDLs?

Yes. A great exercise. Just a bit more to manage, which is why I don’t have them on the list. But you can grow some big hams with them done well and progressively of course

I love GHR and have been doing them over lockdown cause I have minimal equipment. Hamstrings get destroyed and you have an extra bit of emphasis on glutes and lower back as well (good thing or bad thing depending on whether you're looking to fully isolate or not)

Maybe try and adjust the machine ROM so it’s not going to ranges that cause pain

A good option

@@HypertrophyCoach Thanks coach!

Leaning forward is what Jordan Peters recommends and his hamstrings are insane.

I use that technique at the end of the set to extend the set and finish them off.👍

Dammit, they put the wrong Joe in. Please be specific or shit like this happens.

@@andrewkenseth4814 hahaha

Let go of the handles

There is nothing specific to hamstrings different from other muscles. Intra muscular force is definitively the most important stimulus for muscle growth. And it’s the actual contractile tissue you’re trying to hypertrophy. Not passive tissue.

​@@HypertrophyCoach Most muscles work similarly, however they all have some characteristics that are different, including working sarcomere length. The wsl of hamstrings fall far in the descending limb, therefore they can benefit great by stretch-indued hypertrophy. Passive and active element refers to the force being produce during muscle contraction. The force that muscle fibers produce during contractions arises due to both active and passive mechanisms. They can be arises due to same or different tissue within the muscle. Check out the muscle contraction model proposed by many researchers such as Hill-type muscle model. One quick notion is that even passive stretching can cause hypertrophy.

thanks for response btw

EzFit翻譯 your thinking to much

@@josephgarley9267 you're reading too less

I do working sets anywhere from 5-12 rep range

Glute/ham raises can be a good option

Great movement. Especially useful for the home gym. Only thing to be aware of is more effort/energy to keep your torso still/fixed. Compared to seated or lying leg curls

I actually have no idea. I don’t bother with all the exercise name semantics. Waste of time. Just some random names someone made up and assigned meaning too. 🤷‍♂️

Hypertrophy Coach I was asking because in your back thickness video you mentioned rdls and here you mentioned sldls, so I was just wondering what the difference was in terms of execution, although I completely agree with your point, thanks for all the free content and knowledge especially insights on torque and maybe the more “nerdy” stuff I find that really interesting and intriguing as you have a very unique and different way of thinking about training

@@KotaTiGaSmota The way I've seen it, the RDL is what he demonstrated. the stiff leg deadlift is like a standard deadlift, where you start from the floor, and pull with as little knee flexion as possible, and fully reset the bar onto the floor, I don't think it matters whether you do touch and go or deadstop reps, as long as the plates touch the floor. They are more or less the same movement, but I think the key difference is with the RDL you start with an eccentric, and the SLDL you start with the concentric. To be honest though, both RDLs and SLDLs are used interchangeably to describe the movement he performed, particularly by bodybuilders. In powerlifting, the SLDL is a simply variation for a standard deadlift (since it builds lower back and hamstring strength particularly, and is very similar to a standard deadlift), and since powerlifters tend to train for specificity (ie. as close to their competition lifts as possible), it works well as a good deadlift accessory.

Basically what I'm tryna say is the exercise name is just unnecessary lol, call it whatever you want, but some people might try distinguish one from the other, that's their choice. Also, both are definitely incredibly good for back thickness.

Steve Issac thanks, i’ll call them ice cream pulls from now on 🤣

Wish I could say, but I’d just be guessing. Sorry!

Maybe flexing the glutes and abs more to keep your pelvis in place might help against the back pain

Yes, just a little more work on your part to keep your pelvis still. You can always do single leg on the lying leg curl as well

If your hamstrings can’t lengthen more, yes!

The other two exercise on the list are still great

I like 5-8. But anywhere from 5-20 can work, if you can perform them well and progress them

Lying leg curl should be at first.

“Scientifically wrong” 😂 I think you’re confused here if you don’t think hamstrings can extend the hips BECAUSE the knee is fixed. If the knee was extending as the hips extended (like during a squat), you’d be right. As they’d basically be performing and isometric. OR you could have said something about hamstrings not being mechanically great near full hip extension, compared to the glutes…You do have a KZfaq profile though, so you’re likely more qualified to talk about biomechanics than I am tho.

@@HypertrophyCoach i still am sure the hamstrings are just strained. Sorry i cannot agree that is a good effective exercise for hamstrings as it only stretches and doesn't work enough. Ill do some research though 🫡🙏

Nah, for hypertrophy you can get a lot out of 30-45 minute workouts

@@alexwilliams5587after age 50 the energy and motivation to workout after working a 10-12 hour day is gone. If someone is much younger I would agree.

@@biosphereup9141 ohh gotcha, i thought you were younger

great feedback, thank you

Thanks for the kind words!
