can you seriously do unassisted natural GHR? i find that kind of hard to believe...

Of course, before this workout when I used to squat tyres. I would do unassisted natural ghr while holding a slight heavy stone for 7 reps, Without stone I could do 10 easy, I used to do these for 10 reps in all my training, if by unassisted you mean without using your hands to get back up. This is what I concentrated on to focus on my hamstring. Now I can do about 5 or more maybe haven't done them in a while will see and maybe get a video.

holy crap. i guess that's proof positive that having beastly hamstrings doesn't make you fast.

It was nice day not very wet mostly dry, runs focussed on power not endurance, runs felt good, decided to general strength work after like gym after sprints, the pistol squats first time hard on left leg when going down on left leg pain on knee cap due to rustyness maybe but on second less assistance and less knee pain as you go atg but could do right leg without assistance. After my legs were dead after this, calf raise jumps by going down slow and coming up fast and then jump using calf, push up claps was good and ghr felt good like old times.

It was a nice day to run but very sunny. I had decided to watch b skip videos and looks like I have been doing it wrong. As when I do it I do one hop per leg but videos I have seen do hop to raise knee than second hop to extend and paw back leg quickly, where did high knee and paw back in one motion. Had to do steep hill at least once a week or two minimum. Both runs felt good.

The spot between the adducters and the hamstring the bone and tendons ligaments in that area are still very sore pains walking back leg is at far back coming forward. I don't know what that spot is called but its not muscle pain but deep in.

Will not do today's workout due to pain in adducter/groin area. I can feel it most when climbing up a hill as well as it pains when i run.
