Hamstring trigger exercises

For effective hamstring trigger exercises, here are some recommendations from Mind Pump experts:

1. Stability Ball Leg Curls: Sal Di Stefano suggests incorporating the stability ball to mimic the leg curl machine. This exercise is excellent for building hamstrings, especially when performed with hips extended and bridging. This method increases hamstring activation and provides a great pump 1 2.

2. Single Leg Deadlifts: Adam Schafer recommends getting strong at single leg deadlifts to target the glutes and hamstrings while improving hip stabilization. This exercise is great for refining movement patterns and should be integrated into both regular workouts and trigger sessions 3.

3. Stiff Legged Deadlifts: Sal Di Stefano considers stiff-legged deadlifts one of the best exercises for hamstrings. This exercise directly targets the hamstrings, providing significant growth and strength benefits 4.

4. Trigger Sessions with Specific Focus: If you have specific goals, such as improving hamstring strength, Sal Di Stefano advises structuring trigger sessions around hamstring-focused exercises. For instance, performing 5 reps of leg curls on a physio ball multiple times throughout the day during trigger sessions can potentiate hamstring growth and strength 1 5.

5. Hip Thrusts and Glute Activation Exercises: Starting your lower body workouts with exercises like hip thrusts and hamstring curls can enhance the activation of these muscles, making the rest of your workout more effective. Consistently incorporating these exercises into your routine can lead to noticeable improvements in your hamstring development 5.

By emphasizing these exercises and integrating them into your regular and trigger session routines, you can effectively target and strengthen your hamstrings.
