James and Number 2,
I understand that you both view sprinting and power-speed drills to be the primary means of rehabilitation in the case of a pulled hamstring but I am interested in how you go about reintroducing weightlifting exercises that yield significant stress on the hamstrings (RDL, hypers, etc). How does the reintroduction of these lifts fit in with the power-speed and manual therapy aspects both temporally and physiologically?
Number 2- your article says full lifting is resumed in week 3. Is this common for your athletes with hamstring pulls? How, if at all, are the intensities/volumes/frequencies altered when first getting back to it?
Thanks
