Hey guys,
I am recovering from a torn hamstring. Going to physio and all that for treatment and I've been doing strengthening exercises for it. One of the exercises is SLDL however I'm not feeling it in my hamstring. I feel it in my lower back.
I'm doing leg press, followed by single standing leg curls then SLDL. I do 3 sets of between 15 to 20 on each. Progressing nicely on the first 2 exercises but I just cant get the SLDL right. Even the following day, my lower back feels wrecked but my hammies don't feel a thing. Is there any technique with the SLDL where I can just isolate it so I can really feel it in my hammies? I know stiff leg means slightly bent but when I look in the mirror, my knees are probably about 20 to 30 degrees bent. My hammies have shit flexibility which I am working on through stretching and so on.
Thanks for any help.
