Turn those Hamstrings into Pork Chords with these tips from Dr. Mike Israetel Get stronger and build more muscle with the JuggernautAI App, try it 2 weeks FREE at www.juggernautai.app/
I've become a bit obsessed with hamstrings recently. The thought of having big sweeping pieces of meat hang down while you're sitting seems awesome lol.
Awesome tip with the 2.5lb plates! I grew up competitively figure skating so that pre-stretch will really make a difference (in the context of a ~lot~ of hamstring mobility). Love this series-- thanks for the fantastic content!
Gotta do calves for sure. I know it’s mainly to do with releasing elastic energy from your Achilles before contracting but a comprehensive video on training techniques, volume etc. would be great!
high rep, balance/steady yourself, use a slantboard, myoreps or extremely low rest time, (10-15 seconds) as soon as you feel the lactate subside go at it, i do 25x4 36lb kettle in about 120seconds, kettlebell in non steadying hand. absolutely exploded my calves.
I can attest to hip hinge movements being paramount for growth. I'm at about an intermediate level in my work out but I'd never really do compound movements much, as soon as I stopped having a "curls only" mentality my hams exploded. Now they have as much, if not more, of a sweep as my quads. (I switched to RDL's before watching this video too lol)
Mike, for powerlifters (let's say conv. deadlifting 2x/week) looking for extra Ham hypertrophy, still throw in another hinge move like a GHR or GM, or maybe just a few sets of curls? Trying not to OD on the volume yet still get some growth. Thanks... loving these vids!
Awesome video but please, demostrate the workouts as you esplain so we understand you better because not all of us here have so much gym experience..... thank you!!😉
Dr. Mike, you were in my dream last night. I asked you why your powerlifting templates have me doing Legs Move 1 on day one and day two but you never gave me an answer.
My flexibility in my hamstrings is not very good and I fully agree my technique does not allow me to go down low when doing stiffleg deadlifts. I must say stiffleg deadlifts leaves me sore for 4 days sometimes.
Mike, how much Hamm. Growth can beginners get from conventional and sumo deadlifts, and low bar squats before more stiff legged hinging needs to be incorporated.
If you have plateaud on RDLs and good mornings just arent optional. What other compound hamstring exercises can you do? Or should I start doing stiff legged full ROM deadlifts? the goal is just to get bigger and stronger hamstrings / posterior chain
Can confirm: did stiff leg deadlidts to the ground every rep and my lower back always got hit harder than hams and random pains started to show up because of the shearing forces. Will do RDLs from now on and save the lower back workout for the parallel rows and doing it with an arch.
In the Back Hypertrophy guide, there was a part that went over Deadlifts in a program and that it was going to be covered in another video. Don't know if I missed it on here or the quad video.
You mention hip=hinge movements that overload the bottom stretched position (SLDLs, Good Mornings), but what about hip-hinge movements that overload the peak contraction (i.e. weighted back raises with a hold at the top of each rep)? It seems that those movements MRV is slightly higher due to the lower eccentric damage at the bottom due to it being unloaded
Stefan Slater haha I know but high volume has helped me gain 30 lbs in the last 2 years. I'm sure it'll change as I get stronger but for a skinny former distance runner manlet recovery hasn't really been an issue
For real though, if its nigh impossible to build muscle during a cut is there any a point to doing hypertrophy work during a cut? I realise that the volume can help you burn more cals, but beyond that is there a point? Question is directed at JTS, but responses from experienced athletes is appreciated, cause as a random dude on youtube I can request that lol.
A lot of hamstring exercises also involve the glutes and vice versa, would you count an exercise like glute ham towards both your hamstring and glute set totals?
Real talk though, when are we getting a phallus hypertrophy guide?
Grizzlyman Verneteil never
Phaltorius Maximus would be his p-name
Lol
Cable clamp metabolite training ... serious

Another grand slam from Mike. Awesome content and great explanation.
Man, thank you so much!! This is so valuable!!!

Loving the appreciation for hip hinge lifts. Hamstring curls are good but hip hinges are for sure the main event when it comes to hamstrings.

Anything by RTS/Mike T, TSA, 3DMJ, David Woolson, Calgary Barbell, and Greg Nuckols come to mind right away.
Woo hoo! Was waiting for this one!
Thank God. Needed this.

Nice vid man....i was wondering could you post a video on calves...would really appreciate it
I've been waiting for over a year for glutes, but seeing how bicep isn't even out yet it's gonna be another year!!!

Getting cauliflower ear from that BJJ
When did kurt angle switch over to bodybuilding?
Oh its true, it's damn true
Thanks for this!
Definitely going to implemant this in my training my hamstring are my worst body part.
i have such a hard time with hip hinge movements, but this was super helpful. maybe by summer i can have some decent leg biceps.
such a cool dude!!
This guy’s videos are a fucking goldmine!
Guys, he has all of these guides on his website. I understand you want a video form, but they’re already out. :)
Finally what I've been waiting for, I've structured my next 8 weeks of training around all this research so we'll see how things go :D
God damn your videos are so helpful. Thank you.
this is incredible

Finally found you! Jeff Nippard talks about you all the time.
Brilliant one. 🤘🤙😎
Thank you Dr. Israetel and JTS! Always look at my updates for the next Hypertrophy guide. May I request the other deltoid heads?
I got a feeling that in the beginning of these videos, he says his last name too goddamn fast to hear on purpose
Thank you for your work Mike
This excites me
When are you guys going to do biceps and glutes?
Great video! Do you have general guidelines for the total body systemic mrv you mentioned ?? That would be really helpful thanks.
Also do you have a link to the glutes video??
Awesome video but please, demostrate the workouts as you esplain so we understand you better because not all of us here have so much gym experience..... thank you!!😉
thanks man
Will there be a calves hypertrophy guide ??
Dr. Mike, you were in my dream last night. I asked you why your powerlifting templates have me doing Legs Move 1 on day one and day two but you never gave me an answer.
Real ass podcast ljg🐐🐐🐐🐐
Mike is thee MAN!
My flexibility in my hamstrings is not very good and I fully agree my technique does not allow me to go down low when doing stiffleg deadlifts. I must say stiffleg deadlifts leaves me sore for 4 days sometimes.
Rear delts next!
Mike, how much Hamm. Growth can beginners get from conventional and sumo deadlifts, and low bar squats before more stiff legged hinging needs to be incorporated.
Any tips on earlobe hypertrophy?
If you have plateaud on RDLs and good mornings just arent optional. What other compound hamstring exercises can you do?
Or should I start doing stiff legged full ROM deadlifts?
the goal is just to get bigger and stronger hamstrings / posterior chain
Can confirm: did stiff leg deadlidts to the ground every rep and my lower back always got hit harder than hams and random pains started to show up because of the shearing forces. Will do RDLs from now on and save the lower back workout for the parallel rows and doing it with an arch.
In the Back Hypertrophy guide, there was a part that went over Deadlifts in a program and that it was going to be covered in another video. Don't know if I missed it on here or the quad video.
I think its in the glute video I haven't watched it yet
I think he made a case here for kettle bells as kettlebell swings are heavy on eccentric and a great hip hinge movement.
This format for glutes please
Do one on glutes please that’d be super helpful
in time for day tomorrow
What about a calves hypertrophy guide?
You mention hip=hinge movements that overload the bottom stretched position (SLDLs, Good Mornings), but what about hip-hinge movements that overload the peak contraction (i.e. weighted back raises with a hold at the top of each rep)? It seems that those movements MRV is slightly higher due to the lower eccentric damage at the bottom due to it being unloaded
These movements tend to be very lower back centered
Not if you hinge at the hip keeping the spine neutral and extending the hips at the top
I find things like that hit my glutes alot more.
God bless this midget
lol he aint even a midget bro
170 cm not a giant but far from midget;)
lmao wtf
benchmstr So if you see six feet tall woman then would you say its still woman height ?
Aras Küçükyalçın No
Does “set” mean all exercises or just RDL/SLDL?
Used to run 70 miles a week, 20 sets it is!
Logan D not how it works dude
Stefan Slater haha I know but high volume has helped me gain 30 lbs in the last 2 years. I'm sure it'll change as I get stronger but for a skinny former distance runner manlet recovery hasn't really been an issue
Probably not heavy enough
Logan D bro running distance doesn’t equate to 20 set hypertrophy gains, I’m not being a cunt, I’m just talking to you real brah.
Logan D u used to run 10 miles a day, what in the actual fuck
For real though, if its nigh impossible to build muscle during a cut is there any a point to doing hypertrophy work during a cut? I realise that the volume can help you burn more cals, but beyond that is there a point? Question is directed at JTS, but responses from experienced athletes is appreciated, cause as a random dude on youtube I can request that lol.
yes. doing high volume during a cut gives your body a reason to keep your hard-earned size.
Who's legs are those in the thumbnail?
A lot of hamstring exercises also involve the glutes and vice versa, would you count an exercise like glute ham towards both your hamstring and glute set totals?
If they’re both burning at the end of a set then yes
jacked martin freeman
professor gains
I don't know how to factor my deadlifts into my mrv volume for hamstrings
CALVES and FOREARMS!
God bless those Traps 😍😂
Was a glute training video ever recorded?
Do conv deadlifts,hip thrusts,Reverse Lunges Count as Sets ?
no
DO CALVES
Hammie baby Please
