Have you not tried one of the most popular exercises for that area = Hamstring Curls?

-Hold a bar bell as you would for a normal deadlift (shoulder width stance, arms hanging down holding loaded barbell).
-Stand up straight and lock your legs.
-Bend forward from the waist, keeping your back straight, until your upper body is parallel with the floor, with the bar hanging at arms length.
-Lift your upper body back up keeping your back straight until you get to the top.
-Pull you shoulders back and arch your back in slightly to contract your lower back.
-Keep your legs locked straight for the whole movement.
