I currently do a hamstring curl and kick backs. Do you guys have any other recommendations for a good hamstring workout?

Thanks!!

    A good way to balance lower body training would be to do a compound lift that hits everything like the Squat or Deadlift. Then you can add some more specificity for hamstrings in the form of SLDL's, RDL's, Leg Curls, etc. In particular to the Hamstrings, the SLDL has very high peak hamstring activation; higher than a regular squat or conventional deadlift.

    I'd follow a pro-designed program, instead of trying to create your own.
    What is your goal?

    Squats will illicit a hamstring cocontraction. Don't forget some dynamic stretches first (Frankensteins)
