The hamstrings are one of the most infamous muscle groups in the human body. They’re often weak and tight, getting in the way of maximal performance. While there is a lot of misunderstanding behind these tissues, research makes one thing very clear: if you’re struggling with hamstring health, strengthen > stretch. If you commit to doing the occasional strength exercise, you’ll be shocked at just how much more in control of your hamstring’s health and pain outcomes you can be.

Today I want to introduce two moderate-to-advanced hamstring movements that many elite athletes are doing these days. Don’t be overwhelmed, however, as these can be done quite easily in your own space with minimal equipment. As long as you have some resistance training experience and are willing to progress slowly, these exercises will do you a lot of good. I’m talking about a drastic decrease in that tightness sensation you feel, along with improved muscle balance, endurance, and overall strength. Furthermore, you’ll feel badass knowing that the best of the best are doing these movements right along with you.
