| Description: |
- Adjust the machine lever to fit your height and lie face down on the leg curl machine with the pad of the lever on the back of your legs (just a few inches under the calves).
- Tip: Preferably use a leg curl machine that is angled as opposed to flat since an angled position is more favorable for hamstrings recruitment.
- Keeping the torso flat on the bench, ensure your legs are fully stretched and grab the side handles of the machine. Position your toes straight.
- Curl your legs up as far as possible without lifting the upper legs from the pad. Once you hit the fully contracted position, pause for a second.
- Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position. This is one repetition.
Caution: Avoid using so much weight that you start using swinging and jerking as you can risk both lower back injury and also a hamstring injury.
