I am already missing on out a good bit of the deadlift hamstring gains because I pull sumo so this is just compounding into me having small hamstrings forever.

>>41964739
Nah. Glute ham raise is better

>expecting significant hamstring gains in a movement that EXTENDS the knee joint
It's a meme you dips. They act as a stabilizer in DL at best

>>41964770
I might have to go back to them, I was doing them and loved them but wanted to mostly isolate the hams. Hoping my huge balls don't get in the way of this exercise too.

>Small balls exrx hurr physiologist ignore this portion

Again glute ham raise is better. Unless you have small testicles like this autist >>41964796

To hit hamstrings effectively you need to adduct your knee dyel

How can i do this at home with free weights

Try literally curling dumbbells with your feet

Get a dumbbell and squeeze it between your feet and lay on your stomach and curl your legs. Not the exact same as the seated but its a lying hamstring curl.

>>41964781
Are you an idiot? The knee angle is more open than the hip angle in the starting position of the deadlift. If anything, it's the quads that work as stabilizers, not the hamstrings.
To put it more intuitively: have you ever felt your quads and not felt your hamstrings during a deadlift? I haven't.

>>41964898
Would be more effective at 45% decline. On flat bench he won't do shit at the top

>>41964898
>doing this while balanced on a single hand

This sounds really hard 2bh

Can you give us summary and explanation of your thoughts on the hamstrings as stabilizers during the yedlift?

I fixed it. My bad.

Why would you do the sitting down version in the first place ? Everyone knows the lying down kick your own ass version is superior, hits the ass a bit also.

My gym is half commercial gym and half crosshit bullshit and is on the small side so we do not have the kick your own ass version sadly.
