I have quite good hamstrings (touch wood) so can actually straight leg DL up to around 110kg
Hamstring stretch and foam roller before and after are good but DLs deffo help with strength but not too sure about the tightness
Tenderloin-
Aye. The tightness is something I've never managed to figure out.
How's your lower back? A lot of people with tight hams have the lower back thing but it's still a pandemic with everyone sitting in chairs all day...
Im hyper aware of not fucking my back up and DLs feel like they'll either make it stronger or cause injury depending on some minute movement.
Well_is_it
Yeah, now that I know roughly how to not completely fuck it up, I'll just practice high reps at low weight until the next time I see the PT.
I'm guessing you also have cyclist's ham strings? Do you find DLs help with that? Can definitely feel it in the legs today as well.
