Hamstring strength and stretches? When I'm short on time I'll skip either squats or lunges in favor of a seated squat press style machine. When I do I have a spot on my Hammy's about midway that's just irritated. Just on my right leg. I don't get it but I don't like it.

Dude ive been doing my leg day at the gym with the assorted press, raise and butterfly machines.

The other day though, i did leg day at home with just body weight training.

Calf raises, Wall Squats, lunges, squats, leg lifts etc.

**** me, im still sore. Those calf raises have my calves so sore that im walking funny. For days now....

I did 3 sets of 50 in 3 different toe directions. So what, 450 raises in total? Normal forward facing toes, pigeon toed and outward. I varied the speed too.

I assume you are right handed so you left arm gets more benefit from the workouts than your right arm.

I did a similar thing for plantar fasciitis recovery. They ****ing suck! What helps is do calf stretches against the wall in the straight/toe in/toe out then thigh on the wall/ foot flat on the floor extreme stretch. I do a minute each way.

The hamstring activation on a squat is not as much as you think it is.

Best thing for hammys are curls, stiff legged deadlifts GHR's and nordics.

That really surprises me. I used to lift all the time and felt terribly unhealthy. Didn't really seem to do anything to my resting heartbeat and when I would go to try to run it wouldn't help me run any farther. I didn't really feel as good mentally either after I lift compared to after I run.

I was big into lifting when I was younger up but that really only helped me look good. I don't even care about looking good now. Just living longer. When I lift I eat alot of protein and food to try to build muscle and tax my organs.

What info can you advise to change my mind? My weight is not an issue at all. Id actually rather weigh 200 than 170 myself but it is what it is. I just want my heart to be healthy and to lower my cholesterol. My blood pressure has always been perfect though. I am naturally ectomorphic so I am a bit worried Ill lose too much weight by running. Im already down to 179 from 188.

Runners high is a legit phenomenon. As far as what you experienced lifting its hard to say why you felt what you felt without knowing the workouts performed and how you actually workout and eat.

Protein consumption should be the same wether lifting or not. 1.5-2 grams per lb of bodyweight. If bulking then 1.5-2 grams per lb of what you want to weigh.

Cholesterol is mostly genetic. Next factor after genetics is hormones.

My diet is 85% beef and rice. I consume about 2lbs of red meat per day. My bloods from just a couple of weeks ago my cholesterol was 168 and triglycerides only 72.

No cardio other than a 30 minute walk once or twice a day. Just a normal speed walk.

You might try out alternate types of strength training if you just don't enjoy the standard body building hypertrophy type of lifting.

Add more long chain carbs into diet. Something as easy as a cup of rice with one of your high protein meals. Carbs are how you control weight gain/loss in food choices.

I had a problem like that for little while. My heel would be sore as hell when I woke up and it would take some walking around to get my Achilles loosened up. It felt fine when I ran but would tighten up like nuts when I slept. I found a small brace on Amazon that was made specifically for plantar fasciitis that you could wear while you slept. It was a little annoying to wear at night, but it fixed that shit in about a week and I never had trouble with it again.

Yeah I tried a few braces, 20 insoles and countless exercises. I joined a ton of fb pages looking for solutions. Podiatrist gave me some insoles with minimal relief. Then one day I saw a guy talking about 2 minute stretches for something different and that long active stretches signal to the brain that this muscle needs more length permanently not just stretching. Not sure if there’s any science but 60 days of stretching at 10am (after a decent warm up walking at work) and it’s 99% gone. I’m even getting back to running. Easing in doing a 1/2 mile, walk 1/10, stretch, run 3/10, stretch then finish up with 2/10. Getting a total mile but keeping my calves looser.

The downside is only “grandpa shoes” are comfortable lol. ASICS, new balance and crocs light rides are my apple a day.
