Heavenly
Hams - Hamstring Exercise
Check Out These Hams!
How to Develop the Hams on Your Gams.
Hamstrings may not be the first thing
that comes to mind when you think of legs. Many fitness
fanatics instead focus in on grinding the quadriceps
into impressive spectacles or grooving the calves into
sharp diamonds. Yet, hamstrings are vitally important
when it comes to turning your measley legs into hefty
logs.
Your bodybuilding recipe is not complete
without that hearty chunk of meat you've been trying
to whip up through months and months of arduous gym
labor.
They dangle there lifelessly underneath
your glutes - during the dormant months. However, it's
now time to start cooking them up in the gym.
Hamstring Exercise
Here are a couple of power exercises
designed to blast your hams to full growth.
SQUATS:
True, squats will not only blast your hamstrings, but
also work your quadriceps, glutes, even your lower back.
Establish firm footing at the squat
rack, lodging your shoulders underneath the barbell.
Lifting the barbell off the rack, carefully balance
it as you set your feet at shoulderwidth. Make sure
that your upper torso is straight with perhaps a slight
arch in your back.
Then, slowly lower your seat, bending at the knees,
as you begin to drop toward the floor. You want to squeeze
your hamstrings during the range of motion. Stop when
your upper legs are parallel with the floor, as you
abruptly reverse the motion. Explode toward the ceiling
as you look upward and return to the starting position.
Also, these are very taxing. Make sure that you have
a spotter, especially if you're slipping on the heavy
poundage.
DEADLIFTS:
The name alone is intimidating enough. If deadlifts
don't sap the life out of you, no other exercise will.
If you ever watched a competitive power lifter work
out, chances are, you've seen him rattle through a few
sets of deadlifts.
Aside from working the back, traps,
and forearms, deadlifts are also synonymous with building
big, bulging legs, particularly the hamstrings.
First, don't be stingy when arming
the barbell with heavy artillery. Pack the plaon aplenty
if you're looking to sprout muscle growth in your hamstrings.
Then, take a stance with your feet about shoulder's
width apart. Have the bar on the floor, directly in
front of your shins. Drop your hips to a stance in which
you can hold the bar. Take the bar into your hands,
arms straight, and straighten your legs as you hold
the bar at your hips. At this point, you should be standing
straight, the bar hanging in your arms by the upper
thighs.
After a beat, reverse the motion and lower the barbell
to the floor.
And like with squats, you're likely to be performing
with heavy poundage. Thus, take the necessary safety
precautions and use a spotter.
