I missed Kane's post so I'm reopening the thread. I'm not going to let all this stop me from responding to him.

The suggestion I've made to some people that I 'coach' (I use that term very very loosely) is to do some wide stance squatting when GHRs are not really much of an option (ie more assisstance than actual exercise), and have some pullthroughs mixed in as well. Just something to get the glutes and hams involved by something other than hamstring curls. I'm not 100% sure if I'm right in doing that but it seems to have worked for myself and a few others I've helped.

If you are talking about switching to wide stance squats while putting in pullthroughs then it makes sense. People overestimeate that differnce that wide stance makes to the hamstrings but it makes a big difference in adductors so that's a good combo with a more PC exercise.
