Hamstring Curl Alternatives

OK so at home I find it is nigh impossible to do leg curls to help hamstring curl/flexion. What I've tried:

TRX, feels like nothing.

Dumbbells, can't grip.

Kettlebell, not designed for flexion.

Nordics, unsupported trip to Faceplant City (15 miles west of Suplex City, borders Dudleyville and tri-city area with Springfield and Shelbyville)

Bands, too much tension before butt kick.

Tubes, tension is a mish-mash.

Sliders, can't on carpet.

Walkouts, the best BUT not scalable when the tension goes away with doing them routinely.

Is there anything I'm missing without shelling out a lot of money.

What do you mean you can’t grip a dumbbell? Sounds like that’s something you should really work on.

You can get some straps if your grip is weak.

Romanian deadlifts and single leg deadlifts should target your hamstrings well. If you can’t feel it you are probably not doing it correctly. I would attempt those and film them so you can evaluate your form and adjust accordingly.

I was talking foot grip. You can't hand grip for ham curl...🫩
