Leg curl
- Lie on the leg curl machine, placing the roller pad just above your heels. Grab the handles for support.
- Curl your legs up toward your glutes, squeezing your hamstrings.
- Slowly lower the weight with control back to the starting position.
Tips
- Position the roller pad just above your heels and lie flat so your hips stay in contact with the bench throughout the movement.
- Lower the weight back to the start with a controlled speed, resisting the pull of the weight rather than letting it drop freely.
- Curl your legs as far as your range of motion comfortably allows, aiming to bring the pad close to your glutes without forcing the endpoint.
Common mistakes
- Lifting the hips off the bench during the curl, which shortens the range of motion at the knee.
- Letting the weight drop quickly on the way down instead of maintaining control through the full lowering phase.
