Well, I tried out some smythe stiff-legged deads for hams on my Friday MR workout. LOVED IT. I was able to stay relatively heavy (compared to what I considered "safe" before) but at the same time keep form TIGHT & SAFE.
Due to the lower back issues I mentioned previously.........would it be an option to use MR sets in place of the loading sets for hamstrings? There's absolutely no way that I can go heavy enough on the loading sets for my hamstrings without eventually running into lower back issues. So, I can either do a half-assed loading set (which I can't imagine is very effective), or I can just use a MR set. With the MR sets, I feel like I can use a fairly heavy poundage in the safest manner possible.
