I will give my input on what I have done throughout my career as far as form goes for each bodypart. This week lets start with hamstrings. I use 3 exercises........
1. Stiff leg dead lifts-Back arched (chest out, shoulders back), kneed slightly bent, butt out, reach forward slightly..........focus on rotating at the hips gping forward and not just trying to touch the ground. It does not matter how low you get, it just matters how much your hamstrings stretch and contract.
2. DB leg curls- Hang from a high bar, have partner place DB between ankles.....curl upwards towards your butt. You will need wrist wraps.
3. floor curls- Kneel on a pad, have partner hold ankles........keep body as straight as possible, curl body upwards. You will need to catch yourslef on the way down like a push up.
Avoid cable curls and that other nonsense........get huge hams the tried and true way. Good luck.
