I've been hearing 2 opinions on this some say hamstrings should be 1/2 as strong as your hamstrings others say 3/4 as strong. I was wondering which it was. My hamstrings are 60% as strong as my quads so i was wondering if im in the clear or if i have some work to do.

hamstrings should be at least 3/4 as strong as your quad to prevent muscle imbalances.
you will pull your hamstring while running if your quads overpower your hamstrings by a lot
