This is accomplished by pairing low rep exercises which involve torso flexion with planking movements to increase time under tension.
However, increases in muscle fascicle length are also likely dependent on the mechanical load incurred by the prime mover, as knee flexion (hamstring only) exercise seems to lead to greater adaptations in the hamstrings than hip extension (hamstring, gluteus maximus, and adductor magnus) exercise, even when muscle length at peak contraction is shorter (Bourne et al. 2016).
It is suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings at shallower angles of knee flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in full flexion.
Where exercises display peak hamstrings EMG amplitude at different degrees of knee flexion, this may imply that they could lead to increases in strength and hypertrophy in different parts of the hamstring muscles.
