You have to lose your fear of failure. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Everything. This life is too short to let fear hold you back from where you want to be. Go for it. Over and over again, even when it’s hard. Don’t let anybody hold you back or bring you down. At the end of the day, it’s just you. Failure is inevitable. Do it anyway.

Some of the best hamstring strengthening exercises from your favorite PTs!

The hamstrings cross both the hip and knee, meaning their function and loading change depending on the position of both joints.

During running, they’re exposed to particularly high demands during late swing, when they work eccentrically to decelerate the forward-moving leg, and then contribute to force production around ground contact and early stance.

As running speed increases, hamstring forces and loading demands increase substantially - which is one reason hamstring capacity is especially important for runners and field/court athletes.

And what if your hamstrings always feel “tight”? Tightness doesn’t automatically mean you need more stretching. The sensation of tightness can have multiple contributors and doesn’t necessarily tell us that the muscle is physically “short.” In some cases, progressively strengthening the hamstrings, especially through tolerable, lengthened positions, can improve their capacity and tolerance to load.

We want to develop strength across different:

→ Muscle lengths: including loading the hamstrings in lengthened positions
→ Joint positions: hip-dominant AND knee-dominant exercises
→ Contraction types: concentric, eccentric + isometric
→ Velocities: slower heavy strength AND eventually faster loading
→ Tasks: bilateral, unilateral and running/sport-specific demands

The goal is to build enough capacity across positions, loads and speeds that they’re prepared for what you’re actually asking them to do - whether that’s running, sprinting, lifting or returning to sport after an injury.

Let’s work together!

If you’re interested in virtual options, @gorunstronger offers personalized run and strength coaching, virtual consultations, training plans, injury programs, and our app’s monthly strength subscription.

For in-person physical therapy and movement assessments, you can book an appointment with me at Healthy Baller in Washington, DC.

Because if they had it their way, I would’ve stayed home instead absolutely crushing this workout 💪🏼

It’s very important that you go.

It’s been a year since Jesse and I decided to leave Georgia in pursuit of, well, more life. More wonder, more experiences, more opportunities.

I can’t be more grateful for @dr.gabygo and @strengthcoachtherapy for taking a chance on me and saying yes to my crazy dart in the wind.

Moving hasn’t been easy and it’s had its share of pretty low lows and gnarly growing pains, but extremely high highs as well. The patients here have my heart and it is a game changer to work for a group of people who put everything they have into making the job about one thing: the patients; the human being in front of you. The culture that @healthy_baller has cultivated for each other and their patients has been an absolute privilege to be a part of. I am beyond grateful for this journey so far.

Thank you DC, for making this past year the most worthwhile experience 🫶🏼

So, when in doubt, and even when it’s scary.. and even when it might not make sense to everybody… fly little birdy, fly 🪶 taken in Washington D. C. by @allisonesposito

Strength training really just isn’t optional; not for the regular human being and definitely not for an athlete.

There is no better way to build the capacity necessary to meet the demands of your sport.

Train for the performance you want, not the myth you’re afraid of.

hands down no contestttt

@arianagrande literally how do you do it?! Somehow the records are stunning, beautiful, perfect but LIVE?! You’re in another league of your own; a true generational talent and I am SO lucky to have seen this incredible masterpiece. Jaw was on the floor from start to finish at the vocals, the story line, and the attention to detail. Thank you @gabygo_ for an experience of a life time 🫶🏼
