 Member 5574, 236 posts SQ 252.5, BP 150, DL 320722.5 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | But what I really care about is my hamstrings are really small compared to quads and I need to get my legs from 28.5" to 30" so I reckon this is the easiest way. | ||

Member 5574, 236 posts SQ 252.5, BP 150, DL 320722.5 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | What do people think then? Is it a problem that I suck at knee flexion? Or do I really only care about the hamstring for hip extension? | ||

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | Well obviously hip extension is more important but the same muscles of the hamstring perform both hip extension and knee flexion, its not seperate muscles for each movement so making them bigger and stronger using leg curls should improve hip extension strength aswell | ||
