Summary of "Tom Platz on His Favourite Hamstring Exercise 馃Φ馃挜 #shorts"
Key Wellness and Exercise Strategies
- Avoid stiff-legged deadlifts due to the high strain they place on the lower back. This was notably experienced by Tom Platz during his preparation for the 1975 Mr. Michigan competition.
- Focus on the Nautilus lying leg curl as the preferred hamstring exercise.
- Perform exercises using a combination of:
- Moderate to heavy weights
- Controlled repetitions with slow and deliberate movement
- Incorporate assisted positive reps at the end of a set when failure is reached:
- Have a partner help push through additional reps
- Execute these assisted reps very slowly to maximize muscle engagement and effectiveness
