Joints have gone to s---

[Sano]

Just an update for no-one in particular, I discovered that I have only been working the upper hamstring for years. Stiff legged deads, squats, deadlift, good mornings, cable pull throughs etc etc. Nothing that targets the bicep femoralis (short head at least) which I believe only gets targeted with knee flexion.

I started to put in leg curls and the improvement is marked, I'm optimistic about the future!

Doing exercises that hits all the hamstrings at different lengths is unfortunately underappreciated. Leg curls, slides, on machines, on a bosu ball, with a band, GHR, eccentric nordic leg curls so on so forth. There are many options.

Good to hear you are optimistic btw! That's the way to go!
