Hamstrings play a pivotal role in your ability to jump. Focus on engaging your hamstrings during the full range of motion of each exercise also, make sure to stretch after completing these hamstring exercises, to ensure proper muscle and joint health. Last but not least, GET AFTER IT!!!!

Personal training since 2003 I’ve seen my fair share of gym goers enter the club, grab the heaviest dumbbells in the gym and start hurling them around as if having a mini-seizure. I just want to yell, “WARM-UP!” it’s important; you get the blood flowing, lubricate your joints, and like Pavlov’s theory it becomes a conditioned response to your body so when your done with the warm-up, you’re ready to GET AFTER IT!!!!!!!
