Maybe its just a mental thing but i really dont feel em in my hams so much. The only other way i know to hit hams is lying and standing leg curls (i dont see a difference in the 2, seem to hit the ham just the same). I usually do standing leg curls when im cutting cus you do 1 leg at a time and do lying leg curls more for heavy weight for strength and size. I also go all the way down (no half squats here) on my squats so my ass is pretty much touchin my calfs and feel this bottom half of the exercise to work my hams while the top half of the squat to work more of the quads. Same with leg presses, always go as far down as possible working the hams to a degree.
Idk, what do you think bro? Any suggestions for a different style leg routine? Im open to any kind of input throughout this thread guys good or bad. Bodybuilding is a learning experience through trial and error so im open to trying anything out to see if it works for me. I know these exercises work for me so thats why ive stuck to them but open for suggestions.
