A couple of weeks ago I told you about some great new
research I was looking into that advocated the use of eccentric training protocols
for rehabilitating or helping prevent hamstring injuries.

Now know piece of research will be able to prove that this
reduces injury in any one individual, but what they do say is that the reoccurrence
rate and incidence rate drop significantly in soccer teams over a number of
seasons.

What this means is that the teams that used eccentric training
exercises had far less hamstring strains than in pervious seasons and in
relation to teams that didn’t implement the eccentric training protocols.

So in the video below you will see the Zercher Romanian
Deadlift, I actually do it through one leg and the most important part is the
eccentric part where I fight the body being taken slowly forward.
