Hamstring question

[gymtime]

I do deads on back day. They are regular deads, not SLDLs, but my hams are always sore the next day. This being the case, is it necessary to do hamstring curls on leg day?

It would just help to hit them in a different way. It sure can't hurt unless you are worried about overttraining them

Hammies also function to bend your knee back so by not doing leg curls, you'd be missing out on alot of development. I usually also throw in a couple of moderate leg curls on DL day for the very reason you mentioned, along with leg day.

deads belong on leg day

 

[DaCypher]

I space my leg and back day far apart just for that reason. Deads definetly use a lot of legs. As long as your hams are recovered in time for legs day (or your hams are recovered in time for back day) and you are still making gains with your hamstring size/strength you should be ok.

SLDLs yes, regular deads no.

so when you do a dead lift......what muscles are you using.

last time i checked i was using my quads,glutes,hammies,erectors.

i dont know? maybe when you stand up you use your LATs to move your legs

Your legs move when you deadlift?
