Hamstrings

The Hamstrings run along the back of the thigh and are crucial for sprinting, lifting, and athletic explosiveness. They extend the hip and flex the knee, acting as a bridge between strength and agility.

Movements like deadlifts, good mornings, and kettlebell swings strengthen these muscles, while Nordic curls and bridges improve control and injury resistance. Balanced hamstring strength prevents common lower-body injuries and enhances power output.
