Strengthening the Hamstrings

Good Day, MPF readers,


For several years now, I've done mostly bodyweight excercises (lots of pushups, pullups, lunges, etc), and run sprints (both hills and flat, forward and backwards).  My workout has me in great shape and it's fun, but I am looking for some excercises that would balance my leg work, as I feel like I get a lot of quad work compared to hamstring work.  Any ideas for a non-gym-rat type?

lunges on steroids

I read this in mens health…
start your lunge on your right leg, do not let your left leg touch the ground. Once your right leg has gone down to your stopping point, balancing only on that right leg still, explode!!! up trying to get as much air possible. Now do your left leg the same. continue…I did this after running a mile, it was tough.

While my hamstrings aren’t yet flexible enough for me to do them, single-leg deadlifts are currently the cat’s meow for hammy work.
