The #hamstrings are crucial for performance in every sport. They're powerful hip extensors and knee flexors, which make them important in nearly every activity.

On the field and in sport, hamstrings play an important role in sprinting, jumping, and controlling lower body movements. In the gym, they're equally important as they control eccentric loading during lower body exercises and promote stability.

To build strong, well-rounded hamstrings, multi #powerlifting world record holder Stefi Cohen shows us how she breaks her hamstrings #training into three different categories. Each category is designed to focus on a very specific part of the hamstring and muscle action.

In this video, the hamstrings training categories are broken into the following:

1. Hips fixed, knees flexed
2. Knees fixed, hips flexed
3. Hips and Knees flexed

The category one exercises focus on the hamstrings by training them as primarily knee flexors while maintaining fixed hips. Some examples used in this video include lying hamstrings curls and hamstrings slides.

The category two exercises focus on the hamstrings by training them primarily as hip extensors while keeping the knees fixed. Some of Stefi's favorite exercises for doing so are the toe elevated DL #RDL and the dumbbell #GoodMorning.

The third category trains the hamstrings simultaneously as hip extensors and knee flexors. To do this effectively, Stefi likes to use the razor curl. Note, this exercise is extremely tough and is for advanced lifters!

Don't believe us? Watch the b-roll at the end of the video!

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what sport or activity you prefer, if you train the hamstrings intelligently, then your performance will improve and you'll be even MORE resilient to lower body injuries.
