Thanks a ton Scott! I'm going to take a look at those hamstring exercises and see how to implement them. I've done the glute ham raises (which are killer), but the new lat machine's pad is too narrow. I may have to see if I can widen it with another pad of some sort....

That's one solution, as well as setting up something on the floor and using a cross-cable machine. Sometimes, you can slip your ankles under the frame of the machine to hold your feet down. (Make sure to get a pad for your knees for this.)

If you add a pad to the narrow seat of the lat pulldown, just watch out for the pad teeter-tottering off of there and you biting it in the gym, esp. during the set or AFTER when you're worn down and trying to climb out with fatigued (or easily cramping) hamstrings.

Also, if your seated calf machine is near an overhead cable (and the seat is wide enough), you can load that up with a few plates and use that as done with the Fetal Ham curls.
