I always though of the hamstrings as the biceps of the legs. Aren't they called the femoris biceps?
To me, the biceps are a pulling set of muscles. I liken the leg muscles to the arm muscles: triceps and quads, push; biceps and leg biceps pull.
So how do squats and lunges work the hammies? It seems like all negative work. The only exercise that I see to work the hams in full rom would be leg curls.
I know that the big compounds work everything, but I just can't see it for the hammies....
Please edify me...
