Simple question here. I’m hitting my legs with squats, barbell hip thrust, and hang clean regularly. I’m not sure any of these lifts hit hamstrings directly, since from an anatomical point of view the knee joint is extending in all three of these lifts, which is the opposite motion of the primary job of the hamstring which is to bend in the knee.
Do these lifts actually work the hamstring well considering none of them actually involve contracting the hamstring? Even deadlift does not contract the hamstring yet is commonly cited as a hamstring exercise
Any good compound lifts that actually contract the hamstring?
