Dead Lifts

With straight leg deads for hams, I go down to my toes, but I don't come all the way up and I consciously squeeze my glutes on each rep. That ought to recruit the hams for you. Worked for me.
When doing them for back, I don't go all the way down to my toes and I pull my shoulder blades together at the top. I've started doing rack deads for back, though. I think they work a little better.

bump that swolja i do rack pulls for back day and strait legs for hams on leg day i never skip deads i love them they really help me grow on everything and i mean everything. I think it should be a must for everybodys routine works everything from lats to a little bit of calves. On straight legs if your keeping your legs straight you may not get really sore the next day as i hardly ever get sore anymore unless i totally change my routine up. But during your working sets you should def. feel your hams getting very fatigued i for sure do when i get done with them i can barley walk.

after you do a few sets
grave just the bar and bend over with it and let hang for 60 sec
write back on this post after you did it

I dont see any reason why it would be overkill as long as there is enough rest in between workouts Gman! I like that idea, I'll add them into my hammy rountine.

try doing a rest-pause or a widow maker on your next leg day
rest-pause, forgot about that shit (dam, I've turned into a lightweight) what the
hell is a widow-maker? Another thing I do sometimes is on the last set,at failure,
drop the weight a little and go to failure, keep doing that until your down to nothing
and just flex and squeeze for last set. Hell of a pump/burn.

thats what a widow maker is
its a set you have to get 20 or until complete failure
rest pause does work as long as you keep increasing your weights
