    Floor Glute Ham Raise

    EMG measures through the full ROM; they're merely stating the joint angles at which peak contraction occurs and no offence, but I'll take the opinion of a collective 100,000 university hours and millions of practical hours from strength coaches through dozens of different countries (including...

    Floor Glute Ham Raise

    If you google image search "Hamstring EMG" you can go through a bunch of graphs showing activity levels for a variety of exercises. cliffs: body weight, knee flexion based exercises rate highest. Squats fare horribly. Deadlifts fall somewhere in the middle

    Floor Glute Ham Raise

    "Razor curl" Ive tried them (managed to do a full eccentric but had to use my head to do the concentric lol). Completely different feeling to a traditional Nordic curl. I actually quite like weighted kneeling good mornings (basically knee at 90deg, just hinge forwards at the hip til your face...

    Floor Glute Ham Raise

    It lengthens, but the hamstring is going through about half of it's available length I also disagree that it is either a poor strength builder (otherwise we would have to rule out any hamstring curl machine as a good hamstring developer) or an accident waiting to happen provided the athlete is...

    How is there a stretch? if you do them properly the hip stays in extension https://s3-media3.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/26HtXugv1NMp9syWIYRW_g/o.jpg vs full range of hamstring (which can be biased to the medial or lateral hamstring by rotating the femur)...

    Knee Hurting

    It's pretty common in gardeners, tradies, cleaners etc that kneel a lot. mostly likely an inflamed bursa

    Floor Glute Ham Raise

    Its unlikely you get a better stretch as the hamstrings never get anywhere near their end range in a Nordic/inverse curl. definitely get a greater contraction though. theres a lot of evidence suggesting that activity levels in the different hamstrings (biceps femoris vs...

    Her American rival would be my bet, along with Fed (who I think is 99% clean) and Nadal

    Whether a newbie is doing 8s or 5s is relatively inconsequential as long as there is some form of progression over time

    Not really; just differentiating between soft tissue limitations and joint capsule limitations ie someone may have a joint capsule that would allow them to pull sumo fine but their adductors are so damn tight their knees collapse in horribly the second they go outside shoulder width im starting...

    Yuri Belkin deadlift. 420kg @110 Raw.

    "Wide stance will fuck up your hip" is a cop out by people who don't understand anatomy and can't coach the movement properly Sure, if you've got the mobility of a plank of wood then feet out near the plates isn't going to end well but a normal width sumo (whatever normal means) is no worse than...

    Yes because your opinion is oh so valued by . . . Who exactly? not to mention the ~12 biggest deadlifts ever done (probably more) have been done with a close stance, which by your argument is cause for close stance to not be considered a 'real' 'deadlift' and merely 'moving goal posts further...
