While our quads get a lot of love in the gym, our hammies are often neglected—partially because we sit so much, under-train our posterior chain, and just plain forget about them because they're on the back of our bodies. In the conclusion to this two-part series, Coach Christye explains the RIGHT way to train and maintain your hamstrings—and how to avoid catastrophic hamstring injury during competition.

How many athletes have you seen tear a quad muscle during competition? I'm guessing it's probably not as many as you've seen injure a hamstring. But why is that? Why are the hamstrings more injury-prone than their opposing muscle group, the quadriceps? Coach Christye unpacks the reasons why your hamstrings are more susceptible to injury in Part 1 of this two-part series, and explains why our forward-facing culture needs to pay more attention to the posterior chain.
