What is it about the hamstrings that make serious beatings so necessary for hypertrophy?
To get my hamstrings to actually grow, I'm needing to do 6-8 sets of RDLs per week , for 6-10 reps @150-170 kg.
(thank goodness for straps)
Anything less heavy or less volume, they just laugh at me and refuse to grow.
But if I hit them this hard....then they get revenge on me and make it so I can't walk properly for 3 days. And crushes me systemically and in my soul.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
Other than eccentric damage, I'm wondering what it is about the structure of the hamstrings that seems to cause this.
It's like metabolite training doesn't even work.
