34 kg... hm... I think I can do about 3 at that weight, maybe 4.

But what you said about the high rep range applies here as well.

What other ideas of good hamstring exercises do you have? I think straight leg deadlifts have felt the best to me so far but I'm very strong with them... I have I'd say very strong hamstrings anyway but still.

If you cant do ghr and reverse hypers, I like rdl and single leg rdls holding onto something with the off hand.  The single leg rdls with the balance issue taken out turn into one hell of a glute ham destroyer, and allow you to really focus on overloading the muscles this way.  Only issue Ive had with them is once someone gets very strong, its harder to hold a 150 plus pound dumbell, even with straps in one hand.  Once you get to that point you will have already developed some great strength regardless.

I was doing them with a bar back in the day but I did bent the knee sometimes... not sure if it was because of stability issues or just because of weakness... is that a sign of weak hamstrings (and thus transferring the stabilization into the quads by bending the knee)?

For people that are too lazy:

By the way - how does a foot elevated straight leg hip thrust sound? It's very similar to what happens in a one-leg jump and you can overload it to your heart's consent.

dam you have some awesome squat form. how much would you say the shoes help with that?

How about "a ton"?

I could squat similarly without them but I'd have to use a very wide stance...
