    Alternative to standing leg curl?

    Thinking of starting FST-7 hamstrings but there's no standing leg curl machine at my gym. Any alternatives?


    FST-7 Program-
    Hamstrings:

    Lying Leg Curls: 4 sets of 10-15 reps
    Stiff-legged Deadlift: 4 sets of 10-12 reps
    *Standing Leg Curls: 4 sets of 10-15 reps
    Seated Leg Curls: 7 sets of 10-15 reps

    There is this multi station but i don't have "ankle straps" as what they say i need.

    in b4 glute ham raise

    Honestly, the lying leg curl is very similar. imo what that shows is practically overkill for someone at 15. If you really want, just do 5 sets of each instead of 4. Overworking hams is one thing I'd be cautious about, having torn a hamstring ligament myself.

    It's really the most serious injury I ever sustained in many years of lifting.

    Have been having second thoughts. Maybe I'll try it later on when I get more mass on legs and think they can take it. Thanks for the answer and advice will take it.

    No such thing as over training!!! Use cables and attach them to your ankle. Keep your leg straight and kick back. Not a good description but yeah

    Barbell good mornings are my #1 pick for hamstring work. Stiff leg deadlifts, glute ham raises, and good mornings have beeny the most effective I can think of for direct hamstring work(in my case).
