Answers

Common questions

What can I do instead of the Single Leg Platform Slide?

The closest substitutes are the Power Clean, Glute-Ham Raise and Barbell Good Morning. Each trains the hamstrings as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Single Leg Platform Slide programming.

Which Single Leg Platform Slide alternative should I try first?

Start with the Power Clean — it targets the hamstrings with a barbell and is the closest match in this list.

Can I just rotate these with the Single Leg Platform Slide?

Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the hamstrings first.
