How do you train Hamstrings without machines?

[Mr.Blah]

I have a home gym I have a decent amount of equipment but having trouble with hamstrings.I do stiff leg deadlifts and standing good mornings but I just feel like I ain't really isolating the hamstrings because its working also the lower back.If anybody have any suggestions would appreciate thanks.

Squat to/below parallel and lunges work hamstrings. That's what I do in my basement when I'm home.

Stiff leg dead lifts... stick your ass out and keep your back flat/chest up. Tears me apart but u must go slow.

Also with good mornings u need to rotate at your hips. Don't just curve your back out.

Thanks will try this!

Yea weighted lunges work well. They get the whole leg sore as hell.

Thanks yeah tried them keeping the balance was hard at first though I had to lower the weight.

Stiff leg deadlifts kill me...as said before arch your back so your ass is out and chest is out aswell. I usually go about halfway down my shin then slowly pull up.

And for this exercise, not a lot of weight is needed for me atleast...It's mostly a stretch with some weight that I think works great.

Also squats, squats are good for everything

Yeah I noticed when I put to much weight on that exercise I start using more my back.

I like romanian deadlift. It's easier for me to focus on hamstrings and less stress on my lower back.
