How do you build hamstring muscle?

However, if you are seeking additional hamstring training, incorporating other compound exercises like deadlifts and lunges will be your fastest road to improvement. If you choose to perform isolation exercises for your hamstrings (such as hamstring curls), perform them at the end of your workout.
