Tom Platz...the greatest legs of all time.
The Hamstrings
"Here" are a completely forgotten bodypart when it comes to the average person and training. Most men ignore them completely (which is why washed-up weekend warriors playing flag football almost always pull the muscle) and most women are so worried about the adductor/abductor machines that they ignore the rest of their legs. The hamstrings make up an important part of the posterior chain and therefore should not be ignored. Why do think sprinters have such great legs? Because in a sprint, the hamstrings along with the glutes are involved heavily. You will never see an elite sprinter who does not have a well-developed posterior chain. Why do you think YOUR girlfriend enjoys watching the Olympics? POSTERIOR CHAIN FELLAS! Sprints may actually be number 1 on this list, but since we are talking about moves in the gym, we will leave them out for another blog. (Nothing against sprints, I do them often, and they will turn boys into men.) So how can we develop that fantastic look?
