Work the body as a whole to increase hamstring muscles size
The internet is full of information on how to get those big hamstring muscles or that ripped set of abs! Inevitably, with all that information floating about, we can get lost very easily. How to go about getting large hamstring muscles is not revolutionary, or a new idea. Just pure basics that often get overlooked or twisted into something so complicated that it distracts us from doing the right stuff for increasing muscle size, specifically hamstring muscles. The fact is the basics work, and we all know this; just need a little help remembering why?

Aa we all should know, core exercises use more muscles as a unit over isolation exercises, not just hamstring muscles. This does not mean that isolation movements do not have a place in your workout; however there should not be a heavy reliant emphasis on them.

These exercises used with a progressive overload approach and a patient attitude can have half the battle won in the quest to getting bigger hamstring muscles. Progressive overload is simply put, continually progressing with the amount of weight you are shifting on the bar. As long as the weight on the bar is going up you are moving forward. Now ideally, every workout you do an exercise to get bigger hamstring muscles you want to be moving a little more weight than previously or squeezing out an extra rep on an existing weight. The increments should be small though! No good trying to add 10kg to your bench press every week as this will not work.

As growth is something that takes time, the body needs to adapt. Don’t be disheartened if one week later you can not ramp up the weight, simply stick with the weight and stick with it until you find it easier or push out another rep outside the rep scheme your selected. Outside the gym, other bases need to be covered such as nutrition and recuperation for progressive overload to work. You must be eating enough to supply the materials for the repair of your hamstring muscles, and getting enough rest to allow the growth to take place!

Every time you’re in the gym you’re trying to move forward in your training, be it the weight you’re using or the reps you’re aiming for. The main point to keep on hand though is this process is gradual!

What to do then? Squat, Deadlift, Row and Press are the exercises you need to do to work your body as a unit.
