Why use it
Use the Leg Curl for hamstring training through controlled knee flexion. Treat the listed adjustments as part of the exercise, not as optional details.
Muscles worked
- Main load: Hamstrings.
- Stabilization: trunk muscles help hold position.
- Should not hurt: joints or lower back. If they do, reduce load and check setup.
How to set up
- For the Leg Curl, first check its source-listed detail: uses adjustable pads for body positioning.
- Set the roller just above the heel on the lower shin.
- Secure the thighs or torso so the pelvis cannot shift.
- Line the knee up with the lever pivot.
- Choose a range that does not force the knee into a harsh start position.
How to perform
- On the Leg Curl, move smoothly through this model's working path.
- Keep the pelvis still and avoid arching the lower back.
- Pause briefly at the end of the curl.
- Return slowly without dropping the weight stack.
Common mistakes
- Placing the roller too high on the calf or too low on the foot.
- Letting the pelvis lift or the body slide on the pad.
- Starting with a jerk instead of knee flexion.
- Letting the stack crash on the return.
- Ignoring this model-specific detail: uses adjustable pads for body positioning.
