Arnold Classic: Jose Raymond Hamstring Workout

Jose Trains Hamstrings 9 Weeks Prior to the Arnold Classic

IFBB Pro Bodybuilder & MD athlete Jose Raymond takes us through his Hamstring Workout 9 weeks out from the Arnold Classic 2014. Jose is very pumped for this show because of a chance run-in he had with Arnold Schwarzenegger 16 years ago on Venice Beach, California. We usually see The Boston Mass a.k.a Jose Raymond on a quad dominant day. Here, he hits hamstrings with just a “touch up” on quadriceps. Jose performs the lying, single and seated leg curls and justifies doing them because, “they all have different leverage” and stimulate differently. His big lift of the day was stiff legged deadlifts where he reps out with 315.
