Best Hamstrings Exercises

The hamstrings run along the back of the thigh and are responsible for knee flexion and hip extension. They are critical for sprinting, deadlifting, and preventing knee injuries.

The hamstring group comprises three muscles: biceps femoris (long and short heads on the outer thigh), semimembranosus, and semitendinosus (on the inner thigh). They originate from the ischial tuberosity and insert below the knee.
