Bad university gym

Hi all! My gym at university recently got rid of the leg extension, hamstring curl, 1 of 2 leg presses, and I think a couple other things to add in more squat racks. Yay more squats racks I guess? But now there are about 20 squat racks and my poor hamstrings are sad and neglected. Do yall have any exercises suggestions for hamstrings and quads or work around since I basically only have access to barbells, dumbbells, and leg presses now? Thanks!

RDLs vs good mornings?

I loved RDLs for years and got crazy strong in them (specifically with dumbbells), but then I took a break from them for about a year, and now I find that they really hurt my back and I barely feel anything in my glutes and hamstrings. I saw a random instagram reel (fabulous source of knowledge) that recommended good mornings in lieu of rdls to minimize back pain (because the algorithm is always listening to me apparently). I wanted to know your takes on one vs the other, or other suggestions for hinge/lengthened movements that won’t hurt your back? It’s weird because I feel like I have my rdl form pretty solid from years of doing them, they just aren’t working for me anymore. Thanks!
