Hamstrings

"I'll be right here waiting on you" Will Smith, Switch

I think the hamstring is one of the most under appreciated muscles of the body. Did you even know that you had that muscle backthere? A well defined hamstring will have a nice roundness on the back of the leg. When you see that roundness you know that a. this person works their tail off or b. this person has great genetics.
In the event you don't have great genetics you can still work those hamstrings. The exercises are wide and varying. You have your lying leg curls, standing leg curls, good mornings and my personal favorite, the deadlift. All are guaranteed to whip that muscle right into shape. One word of caution: be sure to stretch out your hams well and good after working them. They have a tendency to get really tight and you'll be feeling it the next day if you don't.
