Agreed and although his intelligence doesn't match Palumbo's, I wish Ronnie would take a similar route at his age. You can still be active in the sport, keep yourself in shape, and "do good" without competing. Dave never would have made it as a pro and I think he's smart enough to realize that. I haven't clicked this link on how I can magically transform my hamstrings because I think more articles with titles such as this are bunk, but still, kudos to him for advancing the sport through fairly creative means.

Leg curls? That's it?

Leg curls only hit part of the hamstring through only one of the two (or three dependent on what you are looking at) modes of action.
Although good on Dave for telling people to do them single leg style.

He wasn't saying to only do leg curls....I think he was just stating its the single best exercise in his opinion for hams. Watch every week he only shows one exercise per muscle group.

:doh:

Read my post. I said that hamstrings perform two actions and that hip flexion is the primary role, not leg curling. So a hammy curl cannot be the best exercise for the hamstrings.

Whats the best for hamstrings then? Deadlifts? Lunges?

Anything that involves the entire posterior chain (hamstrings, glutes and erectors). So, yes, deadlifts would be good but there's a lot more.

For the record; lunges are only any good for the hammys if you already have strong active hammys. Given that most BBers are quad dominant this makes lunges inferior for hammy development.

I understand what you said I was just stating what he was demonstrating/explaining in the video...I'm not disagreeing with you by any means.
