Sometimes as you’re training by the end of the week you neglect a body part. I did legs and deadlifts but didn’t get any hamstring isolation in.
What I do to wake that muscle up is some GVT (german volume training). 10 sets of 10 reps at about 85% of max weight with only 30 seconds rest in between sets. That’s some sweet punishment.
