Thank you needed to see this

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

cheers 👍

[@peearejaywilkinson3657]

Great channel even though it is a older video. You still replied so I will sub for this reason. Great video by the way

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Cheers, glad you enjoy the content on the channel 👍

[@UniversalStand]

Yeah.

[@maldizzimo1200]

This is sooo good

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Glad it was useful 👍

[@jakobhocevar8113]

So basically nordic hamstring curl is also great for muscle velocity contraction, because it reduces angle of pennation?Does this stand for all eccentirc exercises?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Correct. Probably similar for other eccentrically overloading exercises too 👍

[@jakobhocevar8113]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 nice, thanks

[@Karan_Bhat]

I just wanna know if it will make my legs grow or not. I just don't like that fact that my legs are strong but don't look that strong.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Better off doing traditional hypertrophy training for muscle growth 👍

[@aayushpatel5744]

I just wanna know if it will make me jump higher please.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Probably not

[@sportscarclinic]

Good vid. "Eccentric" is pronounced "ek-sentric" btw.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I've always known it as 'ee-sentric', but a few people have mentioned they pronounce it as 'ek-sentric' 👍

[@2DarkHorizon]

Does it make you run faster?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

It may have slight benefits for sprint performance but nothing major. Mainly for injury prevention 👍

[@2DarkHorizon]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 Which muscles minus the quads are best for sprint speed given you only can choose like very few things to focus on?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Max effort sprints and plyometrics are best for sprint performance. The exact muscle you train is less important 👍

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

hamstring injuries occur during ground contact not in the air

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

From what I've seen, most seem to occur in the late swing phase of sprinting, just before ground contact 👍

[@GUIDE_Nico]

@Flow High Performance so it would be where the foot was before it lifts. Poor landing and then lifting injuring it.
Like a jujitsu ankle lock, Supinate, external rotate with hamstring flexion... then hamstring extension ( while supinated and externally rotated. ) poor landing = tear

[@pchiethegreat1]

Nope. Swing phase, not ground contact.
