The reason most people lack hamstrings is because they never get them
anywhere near their shortest position. I watch people on a daily basis
yank their butts in the air, not knowingly actually taking the hamstring
out of the movement as they do so!
The minute your butt goes in
the air at all, less tension is placed on the hamstring. In order for
maximum tension and maximum shortening, the hip must be extended; i.e.,
your hip needs to stay locked down.
Next time you do a lying leg curl, try to do it with NO/MINIMAL butt movement. It will probably feel impossible at first.
This can be a tough one to get into because a large portion of the
population lacks flexibility so this
might be a bit tough at first. Give
it a try though; the contraction will blow your mind.
