Here are Some of the Best Hamstring Exercises which use Multiple Joints
Romanian Dead Lifts
For the many people with tight hamstrings, the RDL is the best exercise to help correct that muscle imbalance which could lead to posture problems. Form is crucial so make sure you get it right.
Start: You can either have a loaded barbell or dumbbells on the floor or in a low hang position. Keep your legs in a slightly bent position for the duration of the movement.
It is essential to have your shoulders stabilized in a retracted (together in back) position for the duration of the movement as well.
Begin the motion: It is essential to have a super tight drawn in core as you begin this motion. Stick your butt backwards lowering the bar or dumbbells as close too your body as possible.
Only lower the bar to where you can keep the strict form. Raise the weight back up, at the top of the motion it is very important you retract your shoulder blades (squeeze them together) and contract your glutes.
