Now I hope i don’t get flamed; but as long as you have a good level of gpp; or General Physical Preparedness, one of the best ways of building your “explosiveness” is just by sprinting; or plyometrics. However if your gpp isnt up to scratch then weight training can be beneficial. So presuming that your gpp isnt great; Why are you not doing any ham work?? I know sqauts are an “All-round” builder so-to-speak, but they are quad dominated; and huge quads are just as if not less important than the hamstrings in sprinting.
deadlifts hit the hamstrings unless i am doing them wrong i can usually feel it there, leg curls work the hamstrings, and i am doing some sprints in the middle of the week.

If widen your stance and go A2G squats are very much a hamstring builder.
