Hamstrings on their own Workout Day!?

Whilst holidaying in Melbourne recently myself and a couple of gym buddies decided to train at the hugomungous Powerhouse Gym in Point Cook.

I was keen to trial the Max Pump Belt Squat Machine with a Sumo-style stance.

When training Hamstrings, I like to work the quads indirectly, as my next Quad workout is in 7 day’s time. So a Sumo-style exercise is ideal, and those Belt Sumo Squats really hit the spot!

Here’s the workout:

Stiff-legged Deadlifts
Seated Leg Curls
Sumo-stance Belt Squats
Seated Calf Raises
Standing Calf Raises

I remember many years ago, my Hamstrings were a weak point in my physique. It wasn’t until I gave them their own workout day that I saw some improvement.

This kind of makes sense, as we train Chest away from Back, so why not train Quads away from Hamstrings? You know, ‘Push versus Pull’.

Now that I have returned to WA, my gym doesn’t have a Belt Squat Machine, so I’ll go back to the Sumo-stance on the Leg Press or Barbell Squat.

So if your Hammies are lagging, why not give this workout a crack?
