Why use it

Use the Leg Curl And Leg Extension Combo for isolated quadriceps work, controlled knee extension, and measurable loading without turning the set into a hip or torso movement. Treat the listed adjustments as part of the exercise, not as optional details.

Muscles worked

  • Main load: Front thigh.
  • Stabilization: trunk muscles help hold position.
  • Should not hurt: joints or lower back. If they do, reduce load and check setup.
