Hamstrings - The Triple Threat

The following is a tough hamstrings triplex that JC Santana calls "The Triple Threat". As a triplex implies, it's a combination of three exercises with minimal rest. Given that each movement easily and smoothly transfers right into the next movement it's a rather 'user friendly' set up.


The three exercises are


1. Two-leg Stability Ball Glute Bridges


2. SHELC (Supine Hip Extension into Leg Curl)


3. Two-leg Stability Ball Hip Lifts


Give it a shot either on your light hamstring day or as a hamstrings "finisher". If you get it right, you'll feel like your hams are about to rip right off your legs. Your glutes and calves will get hit hard as well. Try for 5 to 15 reps per exercise. Once you get good at this, try doing it all with only one leg at a time ....
