Grow Your Hamstrings 1.5x Faster (New Research)

In this short I discuss potential benefits of seated leg curls over lying leg curls for the hamstrings.

You can watch our full collab video on Will Tennyson’s channel!

"So does it have anything to do with the height?" unintentionally being a savage 🤣 but Jeff being the 5'2" short King that he is was a great sport

[HeatherHolt]

Jeff's default conversation is "Theres a study that says..."

Depends on the gym you go to. Sometimes the seated leg curl machines just will never allign with me knees properly so I end up doing myself damage

[cakescakescakes]

i started leaning forward when using this machine and the stretch feels wild. i love it

[chrishuggins]

Jeff is a good dude. Both dudes are good dudes

After watching this video, I tried this at my gym. Holy crap. This thing torched my hamstrings. I could barely walk. Way better than the laying curl.

Love the mutual respect between these two

My Hip physical Therapist recommended this to me as well, and i trusted that woman with my life tbh

I like these. The guy with whom you’re training asks questions that I would ask; it’s super helpful.

Is this the collab I didn't know I needed??!

My gym’s lying hamstring curl machine is very adjustable you can get a better stretch than most lying machines (still not as deep as seated). When the seated one was broken for a few months I had to use lying. Found that adding a pad under my quads when lying down really added some stretch too

My gym only has lying ham curl, thanks for that knowledge Jeff 😢👍

[alexadupre]

I really appreciate the actual physical explanation of exercises and how they’re supposed to work/feel

[tedangle]

I'm glad I found your channel, I'm 'on a mission' to get really fit again, 63 in week. I believe your 'Scientific Approach' will be quite helpful.

Just do a hinge movement like a deadlift or rdls

[pl-shep]

The muscle is stretched on both lying and seated Jeff. Some laying leg press machines are also declined at the 45 degree to compensate for the additional stretch basically very similar or the same as the seated ham curl. The difference in the stretch upon the two is basically admissible and really potentially based off the machines design you could get a further stretch on a laying ham curl if the lever extends slightly further then parallel..

My opinion obviously but I don't agree with the advice. It is negligible at best.

I've always preferred lying leg curls, but this makes me rethink my approach. Looking forward to testing this out soon.

[orkunakman]

Okay he didn't have to diss Jeff like that lmao

[lutovac_nikola]

Please a full short or something explaining rdls vs seated vs lying leg curl, which one is for what etc.
