How fit are your Hamstrings?

Rest Day

Chances are your hamstrings are weaker than your quads when they shouldn't be. Having quad-dominant legs will limit your athleticism and possibly make you more prone to injury if you hamstrings are not strong enough to provide proper counter-balance force for your knees.

Some simple exercises to start closing the gap are good-mornings, Romanian deadlifts, and if you're lucky, glute-ham raises via a GHD (Glute Ham Developer Machine).
