I'm confused about hamstrings...
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....

We already answered this for you...
http://wannabebigforums.com/showthread.php?t=77700A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

You know what happened...I made the thread and never looked back at it. I must've been busy and overlooked it.
I guess this thread can be either closed or deleted.
