At the back of the thigh |
| Action |
Bend the leg at the knee |
| Other names |
Leg biceps, Hams |
| Notes |
Many weight trainers neglect the hamstrings in favor of the quadriceps, in a parallel to the common preference for training the biceps over the triceps. This may be because the biceps and quadriceps are visible from the front, but the triceps and hamstrings are not.
Hamstring inflexibility is common, especially among those who spend a lot of time sitting. |
