In my opinion hamstring curls on the ball beat any hamstring machine I've ever used. This exercise precisely targets your hamstrings and also engages your muscles in your hips and back.

  • I have a pretty stiff hamstring and committed the common sin of lower body development = undertraining the hamstring. It's hard to even lock my knees now. Thanks for the video bro. Will try it at the gym tomorrow :)

  • This is a great exercise and I use it with a lot of my beginner training clients. As you mentioned to address the muscle imbalances many people have developed. That's why it's so important to think about training movements not muscles. Let us know how it goes...

  • I just added a video I saw a while back to our favorites on using the ball to train connective pressure and positional dominance techniques for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If you haven't seen it check it out.  Depending on how it's inflated the 65 cm ball might be a little big for you? I'm about 5'11" and I usually use a 55cm. Thanks for your comment.

  • i pulled my hamstring a couple weeks ago and my Sports Doctor has been having me do this exercise for my strength training...it's an awesome exercise. Thanks for the vid.

  • At the basic level it's great for rehabilitation. When you get stronger ask your Doc about progressing into the single leg variation and lift your hands and arms up to increase the stability requirement. Good luck!
