Ever heard of Russian Leg Curls?
They might be tough to do at home, but they're a very nice variation on ham work.
Lie face down on a mat with your feet secured by something. Simply lift yourself up to a kneeling position, and back down. You'll need to pad up your knees quite a bit, but I do these at the gym every once in a while for a nice change up.

Yeah, I had a Glute/Ham raise on law-away at a place near my house. But, some new guy sold it while I had it on law-away!!!bignate73 said:
The main guy wasn't there and he didn't know. It was the last one they had, too. **sigh** It came out a powerlifting gym, but was in good shape. Oh well...Texas Ranger

I'll just do Seated Leg Curls and Romanian Deads strictly for hams. I already do regular Deads, but that's more for back. The hams get hit hard here, too.

All of those exercises are great. Straight Leg Dead Lifts are my favorite and first choice. One other exercise that I like though are Table Makers. These are really good for the glutes and hamstrings. If you're focusing on hamstrings, then do an exercise like st. leg dead lifts, and then table makers. Also running butt kickers are fantastic for high reps, and butt kick jumps are a great plyo/strength exercise. I used to struggle with getting a good hamstrings workout at home, but not anymore.
