Which Exercise Is The Best For Hamstring Development???

[Texas Ranger]

Fellas, in YOUR opinion, which exercise is the best for hamstring development? Stiff Leg Deadlifts? Or the Glute/Gastroc/Hamstring Raise?

 

[Shak]

IMHO - SLDLs are the best. at least, they make my hams hurt the most the next day.

Romanian deadlifts, but if you have access to a GHR than USE it. It's almost as good.
Something like 3x5 RDL, 3x8 weighted GHR.

GHR's, box squats, deads.

 

[d3track]

heavy SDLs
then a monster drop set of leg curls

I prefer SLDL due to an easy setup and burnout factor, doing GHR is very good but without a partner you fail very easily due to the weight and leverage. Though good you leave a lot in the tank which I like to hit by just dropping the weight on SLDL. if you have assistance or bands then ghr is better IMO

I always hear RDLs/keystone are atleast as good as SLDLs...

 

[needsize]

squats, nothing will build ham size like heavy squats
