OK, here is what I do to make it hit my hams reallly hard.
Keep the knees slightly bent but locked in position.
Lower the weight, but keep your back as straight as possible, don't round it at all. If you slump your shoulder it takes alot of stress off the hams.
Bend down FAR, and I mean FAR. Girls do this exercise the best, because they are so flexible. I do it on a raised platform and my hands almost touch my feet at the bottom of the lift. Your flexibility might not be so good to start out with, so stretch. For this exercise to work you need to be able to touch your toes.
So the trick is keeping the back straight, going down low, and keeping the knees locked but slightly bent.
