Can any of you guys recommend accessory exercises that help your hamstrings? I know glute-ham raises but I’m not set up to do them at my current gym.
For reference’s sake I’m doing Starting Strength and I’ve gotten to the point that I feel like I’m coming forward a little bit on my squats and also my deadlifts have stalled a little. I know there’s the tried and true methods of eating more and squatting more but I figure a little accessory work never hurt anyone.
work them through both knee and hip (?) flextion to get the best results - stregth and size
i.e ham curls, good mornings, straight leg/romanion deads
Does your gym not have a lat pulldown machine? Because if it does, you can McGuyver yourself a nice little GHR substitute.
If not, various ham curls and deadlift variations as ye olde cavemen suggested will suffice.
Many thanks gents, that’s just what I was looking for. I’ve messed around with RDLs before but not seriously tried to add them, I guess that and some hamstring curls are my next step.
