The hamstring is actually three large muscles: semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris. Their function is to flex the knee, extend the thigh at the hip joint, and rotate the lower leg from side to side when the knee joint is bent.

When training, flexing the knee utilizing leg curls is a regular and sound way of muscular development, yet we can not forget the hamstrings are biarticular. Biarticular muscles cross two joints rather than one. Adding hip extensions by keeping one’s legs straight on the Pendulum Reverse Glute/Ham assures that the proximal part of the hamstring is developed, as well as the distal end of the muscle. Not only do these combined movements increase muscle strength but also aid in lowering the risk of injury.

A great way to Get Strong.
