Your hamstrings need to both look good and perform well. Because your hamstrings act as the “brakes” during the eccentric portion of your squats, deadlifts, and for running and changing direction. This makes eccentric hamstring strength important for good form, overall leg strength, and to prevent hamstring strains.
