Thank you so much for watching! Be sure to check out the blog for all references: e3rehab.com/how-to-grow-your-hamstrings/ 2 additional comments: 1. The pad should be lower on her leg during the prone/lying leg curl, but we couldn’t adjust it because it was stuck. 2. I know there is a never ending debate about Conventional Deadlifts vs Stiff-Legged Deadlifts (SLDLs) vs Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs). I think of SLDLs as deadlifts from the ground with less knee flexion than conventional deadlifts. If you view them differently, that’s fine, but this is how they’re shown and described in this video.
Ty, My right hip seems to need weeks of frequent multidirectional movement exercises in order to strengthen damaged areas before I can do a lightweight deadlift.. Any Suggestions???
Great video! The Hip Thrust tidbit was interesting given 1) The amt of TH-camrs that claim they also develop Hams 2) Your Bridge recommendation, given the similarities to Thrusts.
A while back I had a muscle tear on my hamstring while playing squash. The leg was black and blue. When I do hamstring exercise the ends of my muscles which connect to the bone give a tingling feeling.
I think a good video idea would be mentioning that hypertrophy is not good long term goal to aim for for instance planks don't result in great hypertrophy in core muscles but they offer a better long term muscle density retention.
Sir your video explanation all are well knowledgeable and very useful for my study purpose thank you sir. But sir pls upload post operative spinal surgery rehabilitation related exercise is possible sir
Yes. So good. Very interesting about squats/leg presses/lunges etc not helping much. My hamstrings feels activated in those movements, but not that much.
These are some really good exercises with tips on how to do them. My question is, which of these exercises would you say are the ones a person who has proximal hamstring tendinopathy can use? Or do you have a video that's can help.
Thank you sir about this video explanation. Sir pls upload the video runner's knee related problem and exercise and kind of overall knee pain site condition name is possible sir?
What exercises would you recommend for patellarfemoral pain syndrome when it is too sore for any kind of squad or stepup? Is straight leg raises good initially?
@@E3Rehab I tried all quad exercises are too difficult currently in that video (stepups and squat progressions shown). What should I do as an easier exercise to strengthen the quads?
What if hip extension exercises like the RDL cause low-back pain? I've had chronic low-back pain for 10+ years which nobody can figure out, and all I've been able to figure out how to do to work my hamstrings is leg curls since I'm too weak and fat to do any of the other knee-flexion based options. Also curious why hip thrusts wouldn't help with hamstring development. I know that with squat-based movements the hamstrings are stretching at one end while shortening at the other end, which is the theory as to why they aren't really hit well during squat-pattern movements. During a hip-thrust this doesn't seem to be happening though, so I'm curious why it wouldn't show at least some benefit.
regarding the seated hamstring curl, you say simply rounding the back doesn't provide added benefit. So it doesn't matter if your lower back is rounded or not? Or is it better to have straight back. I find that my back wants to round (if I am actively leaning forward instead of just sitting in the seat) once I am close to fully extending the legs. What would your recommendation be?
Great video on hamstring development! I would like to point out that your description of the RDL was missing a very key point at the foot and ankle. To further increase the hamstring utilization, the weight on your feet should be shifted towards the heel, with even the toes coming off the ground. Your technique is great for beginners, but the original Romanian deadlifts technique taught to me by Javorek emphasized this weight shift.👍
Not taking away from the overall message of the video.... but really? using a pretty small sample size of papers to to draw "definitive" conclusions here
Quite misleading information. Hamstrings do grow from training squats. The problem with exercise scientists is their bias for not training squats correctly. Partial squats at the top may not stimulate hamstrings so exercise scientists only preach the wrong information. Full squats actually do stimulate hamstrings, same as leg press Edit because e3 didn't want people seeing his misaligned logic deflecting the main point exposed: You just demonstrated "trust me bro science" reasoning. Clearly you would never know what others have read; yet you're arrogant enough to pretend a social media physio influenza would know better when all that your video is demonstrating it's being a content con-artist parroting without any critical analysis of exercise scientists paper pretending they actually know what a squat is. Farming data from partial squats for an exercise study is biasing a false negative narrative for the sake of hiding the bigger picture from doing full squats and the data that disproves researcher bias
@@E3Rehab your comment is basically source: "trust me bro". And is very much like most exercise scientists that never plan the correct experiments to only farm data they like, ignoring the data disproving their publication. Furthermore, you have no idea what others actually read, so your "trust me bro" nonsense is literally snowflake ❄️ mentality. But what else would a social media physio influenza do other than "trust me bro"?
@@sagemagus126 You edited your initial comment, but have yet to provide any reasonable critiques of the studies presented. You also have not shared any evidence refuting the research presented or substantiating your claims. Edit: After reading your edit, I'm actually not sure what you're trying to say. I recommend full squats. Check out the quad and glute videos.
@@E3Rehab you only listed two studies, hardly enough to make a definite judgment, and two which are both severely limited in making broader conclusions to the general population as it relates to hamstring size

You make the best videos on rehab I have seen by a MILE on TH-cam. You have helped me so much through the years LOVE U BRO.
Brilliant. Comprehensive. Thank you for putting this together!
excellent review and summary 👍
Video was very informative and easy to follow
I love these hypertrophy series! Thanx :)
Awesome video thank you really needed this
2025 will be the year of the hamstrings
Challenge accepted
Vertical deficit nordic hamstring curl or gtfoh.
Wow this was so helpful esps as a garage gym lifter thank you so much!
Thank you ! What sliders do you use? 🤔
Wonderful as always 👌👌👌
Great video as always!
Love RDLs but have very prominent patellae so have to be careful.
Great video as always, would you be able to do the same format but with the adductors?
Ring leg curls are fantastic aswell!
Can we get a video on how to rehab elbow hyperextension injury or armbar injury.
Thank you so much for the video
Thanks doctor ❤
Do you have videos regarding ACL recovery?
Will get surgery next year and want to be prepared.
Also home exercises would be great!
They have, just look on their channel

Not sure. Would need to do a consultation.
Great video! The Hip Thrust tidbit was interesting given 1) The amt of TH-camrs that claim they also develop Hams 2) Your Bridge recommendation, given the similarities to Thrusts.
The difference between the two is the degree of knee flexion. Try them both and you’ll feel the difference in your hamstrings.

@@E3Rehab ok sir
holy crap, I need to do a lot of hamstring work
Thanks ✅
Can I do Bulgarian squats to train the hamstrings?

How does the growth and strength if you have LLD? How would you approach these excercises if you had LLD?
The principles remain the same. You could implement more single leg movements if necessary, but otherwise shouldn't make much of a difference.
@@E3Rehab could you please make a video on how to improve gait and biomechanics for LLD? To avoid limp, back pain, knee pain etc. Thank you.
@@sagar9060check out our video on the topic
@@sagar9060What is LLD?

Doesn’t matter that much if it isn’t negatively impacting your performance. You’re just striving for a more anteriorly tilted position of the pelvis.
5:24 not getting a full stretch is beneficial for hypertrophy ?
Perhaps I could have worded/written that better.
He actually says "which is beneficial for hypertrophy", as in "you are not getting a full stretch, which (if you did) is beneficial for hypertrophy".
Had a hamstring graft, and my PT doesn't mention any of this ...

that just makes the lift unstable, seems not worth to do it like that.
maybe putting plates under the toes could help... but eh it was fine
Not sure this is key to the lift, as making it less stable has its own drawbacks.
AWESO E
why i need hamstrings?
Why did you say peace at the end of the video?
Because he wanted to
I can’t tell if my hammys are growing
Click bait
