More Hamstring Exercises"Get huge hams!"
Check out our new list of AST products! Huge selection of hot products on sale right now! Click here!
 | - Leg Press
- The squat is hands-down the best exercise for your legs. However, the leg press machine runs a close second.
- Most machines require you to lie on your back and push the stack over your head.
- This can be dangerous because of the great pressure build-up in your head. (If you have high blood pressure, etc. avoid this exercise).
Many leg presses are set at a 45 degree angle to reduce this problem...if possible use these machines.
- The advantages the leg press machine has over regular squats are: 1. Better Isolation, 2. You can load up the machine with more plates without the fear of losing balance or slipping, and 3. Less stress is placed on the back, buttocks, and knees.
|
 | - Dumbbell Lunges
- This exercise is considered a very "shaping" movement.
- If properly performed, these are very powerful quad-builders. They also strongly build the hamstrings. So, they work the whole upper leg more than leg extensions or the leg press machine.
- Holding the dumbells at your sides, take a large step forward (lunge) with one leg, keeping the weight on the front leg.
- Try to keep the rear leg as straight as possible while lunging.
- Lift back up, bring your legs together and lunge with the other leg.
- You can also do these by holding a barbell behind the head.
|
 | - Hack Squats
- After your thigh foundation is developed, hack squats can really add some width to your thighs.
- Perform hacks while your back is lying against an angled platform with the weight stacked on top or the sides.
- Extend your legs to the starting position. Slowly lower the weight so that your legs make a right angle. Hold the position for a moment and without bouncing push the weight back up.
