[quote author="utfootball4" date="1269976399"]I mention this somewhere earlier, I think it’s risky to perform those exercises when sprinting volume is high. I tend to focus more on hip extension exercises (as opposed to knee flexion exercises) for the hamstrings once we increase the volume of running.
So would it be ok to use these pre-season on an athlete that has notoriously week hamstrings with little to no weight? I don’t see why not, GHR and Swiss Ball Leg Curls help strengthen the hamstrings which will intern make someone less likely to have a hamstring injury.[/quote]
Curious why you must use those movements to develop weak hamstrings? There are so many other movements you can perform.
1: Rev hypers
2: Hypers
3: Hyper complex
4: RDL
5: RDL snatch grip
6: T-rdl
7: pull throughs
I typically have a 3 week block within the training year where we may do glut hams.
