  • Here are the Two Exercises you need for Hamstring Training. I use these two exercises in all of my Posterior Chain (Glutes/Hamstrings) & Hamstring Focus Leg Workouts .
    Even if you're training at home or with minimal equipment like Resistance Bands or Light Dumbbells Only, you'll still be able to effectively train your Hamstrings by using the principles behind these two exercises.
    I really don't think people read this far into these Description boxes, but if you're still here, Uncle Eugene appreciates you.
    For more, head to www.ganbarumethod.com - You'll find all of my Workouts, Training Workshops, Nutrition & Health Lectures and so much more there, plus you get to try it all for Free. Don't like it? Just cancel before the no-obligation 7 day free trial. I don't want to be charging you for stuff you don't want/need - but I do want you to take a look. I promise you'll like it.
    0:00 - Really? Timestamps? This video isn't even 7 Minutes Long. But sure, let's do this so you can skip the small talk at the start.
    2:00 - Exercise Number 1. Seriously Eugene? 2 minutes to get to the point? How rude. Get stuck into it faster next time.
    4:06 - Exercise Number 2 - Common mistakes/complaints & Technique Tips
    4:58 - One Cool Super Secret Hamstring Tip For Ultimate Mega Hamstring Gains Happy Fun Joy
    6:11 - How good do my Calves look here? Seriously. That's the main reason I added this B-Roll in.

    ***TIMESTAMPS***
    This video is less than 7 minutes long and you want Timestamps? There’s only 2, but sure, why not.
    What are your favourite 2 Hamstring Exercises? Let me know in the comments section!
    2:00 - Exercise Number 1. That’s right. It took me 2 whole minutes to get to the point. At least it’s not 2 Treadmill Minutes or 2 Microwave Minutes. Those suckers take forever.
    4:06 - Exercise Number 2 - Common mistakes/complaints & Technique Tips - Video referenced if you’re experiencing lower back pain is this one here - Go check it out! ruclips.net/video/rAKRl2hr35g/видео.html&

      @ordinaryguy815 3 года назад

      I agree with your points on seated leg curl, however, anecdotally, it seems seated hits my ‘upper hams’, close to the glutes, while lying legcurls and nordic curls hit a bigger/lower part of the hams. Thoughts?

    This is exactly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.

    My favorite hamstring exercises have to be:
    1- The romanian deadlift (Really like this one)
    2- Lying leg curl (I'd love to try a seated one if the machine is available, but sadly it hasn't been in the gyms I've been to)

    • @Elkarus

    Since I can’t get to a gym, (we’re going on 6 months now), I have been doing Nordic curls. I am thrilled that I have noticed strength gains and have actually been able to do a few full unassisted curls each set. I did begin to notice some ACL tenderness, but realized that keeping my ankles straight was paramount as not to engage the tendons on either side.

  • @venkatnatarajan3479
    @venkatnatarajan3479 3 года назад

    Coach!
    I learnt to hinge without the foot elevation. I was able to progress quite well and I still do.
    However, there’s one thing the foot elevation did to me. It helped me get better at touching my toes; more importantly even in my seated position.
    I performed this after a recommendation from Connor Harris on his RUclips channel. The reasoning is that the bio mechanics involved in nutation of pelvis is optimal in an elevated toe position.
    Long story short, people who aren’t able to touch their toes, try feet elevation by an inch or 2 and try. Try it for what it’s worth. Please don’t hold me accountable. It worked for me and I’m enjoying the newfound mobility.
