I prefer good mornings for my hamstring and midback stuff, then I do 1-2 sets of leg curls.

When you get proper form you will only feel it lightly in the glute and spinal erectors but big time in the hams. Most likely you are using too much back and performing a standard deadlift instead of a SLDL.
