accessory exercise for hamstrings

[reduni]

Just wanted to find out peoples favorite accessory exercise for hamstings. I know deads and squats for the main lift, just looking for everyone's opinions. I'm looking to change it up.

GHR. Glute Ham Raise.

You'll see exceptional growth with this one.  Tough to do properly, but amazing when done correctly.

GHR's are great, however it's hard to find places that have a GHR "machine" or whatever it's called.

Romanian Dead-lifts and Hamstring Curls are my go to moves. 

Good mornings hit them as well as long as you keep your form good.

Ghr's, and the reverse hyper are both great posterior chain developers.  I've got them both in my basement.  There's a ton of great accessory lifts, imho I think the accessory lifts need to be changed every couple months.  If you can't find a ghr try Nordic Falls.  You can set them up with a barbell and power rack.

Thanks everyone. I don't have access to a ghr or the room for a dedicated one. I'll check out the rack mounted one though. Is there a big difference between stiff leg dl and rdl? I have incorporated one of them in a routine before I just can't tell which one. Probably a bastardized combo of both. Any cues I should know for them?

RDL you bend your knees slightly and lift the bar from the floor like a deadlift.

SLDL you keep your legs straight and typically you'll stand on something like a box or platform and lower the bar until it hits your shoelaces (or the top of your feet). So it's like a deficit deadlift.

I prefer the latter due to greater ROM.

I want to start by saying F@$& you Tooth.    What the hell are you trying to do to me. I added  nordic falls to my leg routine and holy shit they hurt. No way around it. I'm adding it in as per a t-nation article I read, real slow.  Low reps and low volume until I get better and more used to them . Thanks for introducing them to me. I'll see how things go.




















Oh and no offence meant by my greeting.

Ha!  Forgot to mention Nordic falls are a bitch.  Supposed to do them with around a 5 second negative.
