Stephen,
It could be that the muscles of your low back, and especially your glutes are not firing properly, or fully, causing the hamstrings to be overworked. Personally- glute bridges always caused my hamstrings to cramp up, doing them with a band placed around the knees and pushing out slightly takes care of this. I would try some double leg and single leg glute bridges, also lateral resisted band walks- these will activate the glutes. Certainly worth a try..

Subject: [Supertraining] Hamstring cramping
To the Yahoo Supertraining group,
I would appreciate it if anybody has a suggestion or
suggestions for the following situation.
I am a 52 year old former college football player who practices,
jogging, martial arts, weightlifting, and numerous other activities. Ever since I was in my twenties if I lie face
down in a prone position and I try and bring one of my heels to my glute's, my
hamstring on the leg lifted will automatically cramp. My hamstrings will also cramp after I have
been exercising for a while. I have
tried several things to combat this situation, chiropractic work, deep tissue
massage, static stretching, PNF stretching, ballistic stretching, and acupuncture. I have also been conscious of hydrating
really well as well as taking magnesium supplements in order to combat the
cramping. Please advise, thirty years of
leg cramps has taken its toll on me.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Stephen Smith
