I am a lifelong athlete and have had chronic hamstring strains and I have to say that proper posture, stretching (especially hip flexors) and this last exercise they did (Nordic curls) will go a long way in minimizing your injury. Thanks guys your videos are very helpful
I just want to thank you guys so much. I struggle to exercise because I suffer from scoliosis. For years I’ve been off and on exercising. I can’t get to the place I want to be with my body due to horrific pain from picking up weights. It eventually becomes mentally exhausting, but I never give up. I came across your video a couple days ago and omg these exercises are so amazing for my hamstrings!!! I know I’m going to see results now! Thank yooooou guys !
Great information. I love the little tidbits like " if you strengthen the muscle through the eccentric range of motion, your potential for injury goes way down." Very helpful, thank you.
thank you very much i injured both hamstrings years ago and i have never repaired them and now im 60 years old and in need of repairs to even stand or walk correctly
Eccentric calf raises really got my achilles tendon problems under control and I have some issues with my hamstrings. I believe it is from Statin that I've been taking for years with no side effects and now at 53 I'm having a lot of issues with my lower body. I'll have to give these or try my normal routine isn't working
Something about these two...they are so cute and funny: "where are we next Brad? Well, get the ball Bob". "Pretty good for an old man, Brad" "My heart rate is already going up, Bob" After my pelvic fractures, I did that isometric hamstring exercise.
Very cool to see a Nordic assisted with a yoga ball. Definitely all the craze with KneesOverToes guy popularizing unassisted Nordic strength progression
I have a high hamstring strain from my last marathon. If I hadnt sprinted the last 200 yards to the finish line, I would probably have been ok, but you know how that goes -- you get caught up in the moment! The marathon was 5 days ago. If I had to guess, i'd say I'm maybe 75% healed. It no longer hurts to lift my leg or to climb up and down stairs. The worst part is sitting. I have a desk job. I've been setting an alarm on my phone to go off every 45 mins so that I remember to get up and move a bit. I've been alternating heat and ice packs 3 times per day. Do I have to wait for the pain to go away completely before I begin these these stretches and exercises? I wish I were more patient.
@@batman-sr2px I wish my memory was so good as to remember four years back. ;) These guys are great though. I've used a lot of their advice over the years.
Daily I have been dealing with severe pain from a partial hamstring tear for over a year now which was diagnosed by MRI. I have purchased the recommended deep massager which I love and use it daily however & unfortunately I have not had relief. A top orthopedic surgeon recently advised me that the tear is actually a result of my back. Any thoughts as I already deal with severe rheumatoid arthritis.I’m desperate for relief. Thank you love your site and watch your daily Joanne
you guys are hilarious and awesome. keep doing what yr doing. ... p.s., i am a tennis player needng to build my leg strength, especially (I think) my hamstrings. i am going to trust you and try some of these - and i'll let'cha know how it works out!
Bob and Brad, do you work with people who have hamstring autograft weakness after surgery? What can one do to strengthen a weakened hamstring after an operation?
Guys. I am your best “Sara” subscriber ever becuz I have my family finishing your intro jingle. And, they sing 🎤 it. 👍🏽. Your song will be the next “baby shark” song. 🤦🏽♀️
Im one of your great admirers I have suffered a brain stroke and then got paralized at my left parts, now I'm. Doing good , but I face problem with knee buckling, I can't cross over things so easily, and my wrist is kind of dead, I can't do pronation or operation movements in my forearm, pl make videos on it
Hey guys...I'm a 77 y. old woman with AS& ever since I had the hip replaced 2 1/2 years ago, I've been bothered by bursitis and pain in my butt ( that I thought was associated with the AS) but also there was pain from the outside of the leg radiating down to the back of the knee...like a toothache all the time. A recent MRI showed a torn middle hamstring muscle. Have you got any reasons why (have't participated in sports since was 25) it may be torn and are your exercises OK for me (if I'm able to do them...my mobility sucks).
Hello there. I have been following your page for a while. My mom had a brain surgery and she can't move her left body part. She can move her leg a bit. She can pull her leg and move it side to side. Quadriceps work a bit. but she can't straighten her leg and she can't stand properly. Her hamstring muscles don't work either. Could you please help me? What should I do and what exercises can be given to her to improve her walking and her hamstring muscles?
Hey guys, I have a question! Can you give me an advice about EMS units, do they help if I use them whilst training? Putting one on my shoulder while I lift low weights, put one on my abs while doing ab workout, or would it be just the same as just training?
Nordic ham curl feels great. Full body tension required so almost a full body exercise, imagine beats planks by a mile. Glutes back lats stomach, clench Ur fists. I like to do hip thrusts while body at like a 30 degree angle, that's all my hamstrings can tolerate ATM.then do clap pushups and try to pause in the air as long as possible using hamstrings,then do drops trying squeeze hamstrings as tense as possible then use arms to walk bum to heels and do again. Only 2 sessions so far and that was a week or 2 ago but 3 rounds where each round is 30 seconds of each of the 3 types of exercises. 2 minutes break,thendo knees over toes elephant walks stretches. Don't know why I stopped, bit intimidated by how hard and so far from a full strong reverse hamstring curl. Imagine would be great for posture and all other lifts due to the amount of core and glute activation....I guess glutes working hard
So basically, to strengthen the hamstrings, you want to make them contract, right? I'm an OMM student trying to find hamstring strengthening exercises!
Good mornings are great for resistance training, to help improve your hip-hinge cue in deadlifts, and hip thrusts help the lockout in deadlifts. Practice before performance. Practice makes permanent, esp with muscle memory
Brian Alsrhue ? Sorry Brian From neversate who has a RUclips can teach you breathing and bracing, the best video on learning that, in my opinion of course, for the sake of doing anything heavy which helps take the stress off the spine that these guys worry about here
Enjoying all of your video's, thank you! I pulled my hamstring about a month ago and its not back to normal, and I'm now scared to do a lot of strengthening moves in fear it will snap again. What would you recommend?
can you do a Video on backexercises like this one? I am also competitiv powerlifter and i am looking for exercises that strengthen the back but don't put stress on the spine like deadlifts or goodmornings thanks in advance
Or take ballet class 😁 The only time I get hamstring cramps is when I try to bend over and trim horses hooves. Ouch, I guess that is kind of like that barbell exercise you said not to do.
Bob and brad the 2 most famous physical therapist on the internet
Thanks!
Thank you for your support! We will send you some positive vibes your way! 😉

I have very weak hamstrings and glutes. I tried the chair exercise and wow...it was work! Looking forward to trying these at home as a supplement.
I really love exercises that can be done at home with a minimum of equipment. And the anatomical information is much appreciated.

You guys are phenomenal
So helpful thank you👍
I LOVE both of you
When loaded correctly, Good Mornings are a safe and highly posterior chain movement.
i was thinking the same thing, definetly the way they showed it will cause high rocking damage, but doing it correctly will bring a lot of benefits
Great video keep them coming watching all the time
Excellent advice
Very cool to see a Nordic assisted with a yoga ball. Definitely all the craze with KneesOverToes guy popularizing unassisted Nordic strength progression
Thank you
Love it! I always come back to you guys to check things out! I also am not a fan of the "good morning" with the barbell.

To do the prone curl without another person you wrap the band around the ankle as you did. Then take the tails under the body and hold them.
well yuo please explain how dose isometric exercises hamestring rduce knee pain and can thes exercises open up knee space
Love it - thanks guys! Going to be very helpful for me personally and my clients.
Thank you for your efforts.
The exercise with the theraband- where should you feel it? On my injured side, I feel it in the glute muscle. Is that right?
Love your great fitness support you two!

The good morning is my favourite hamstring exercise aside from Romanian deadlifts
These guys are funny.
Are these two jeff cavaliere grandparents???
I think Bruce Lee injured himself doing good mornings. Nice video. I look forward to seeing a video on strengthening the psoas.
some idea on reps and sets would be nice. Otherwise great video!
Thanks for the feedback!
Enjoying all of your video's, thank you! I pulled my hamstring about a month ago and its not back to normal, and I'm now scared to do a lot of strengthening moves in fear it will snap again. What would you recommend?
maryhpiper buy thermal compression shorts and use them while exercising
Massage and heat compression.
Can hamstring muscles tear recoverable 100% with stretching & STRENGTHENING??
4:59 "they're not fun and they're not painful"
