Progression from the Bar Hang Hamstring hold I posted a few days ago that went viral

-> Bar Hang Hamstring Hold + Adductor Squeeze <-

The original hold is targeting mostly the hamstrings & some glutes

By adding the med ball between the legs & squeezing as tight as u can, you’re now activating the adductor muscles (inner thighs). Act like ur trying to crack the ball like a peanut

Then adding a chain or some sort of weight on the calves to create extra load for the hamstrings

This may look like some silly “fitfluencer” exercise for clicks.. It’s far from it

This is a very functional exercise that will absolutely wreck your hamstrings in 1-2 sets. 30 sec hold (if u can)

Great for athletes to avoid cramping & blown hamstrings. But also great for anyone who wants to be functional & strong for life

I like to use it as a warm up to activate the legs before moving into more dynamic exercises
