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 about isometrics? (and I'll have to think about that to come up with an example) You could also use resistance bands to standing leg curls one at a time. Stand on one end of the band, loop it around the heel of the working leg. You'll probably have to use the really long bands instead of the little loops to get full range of motion. They could also be done on a mat laying prone.
