Exercise Description

The band assisted nordic hamstring curl builds serious hamstring strength while teaching you the movement pattern. It's the best way to work up to full nordics safely.

How To

1. Anchor a resistance band above you and loop it around your torso at chest level 2. Kneel on a soft surface with your feet secured under something heavy or have a partner hold them 3. Keep your body straight from knees to head as you slowly lean forward, letting the band assist you 4. Lower yourself in a controlled motion for the band assisted nordic hamstring curl, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings 5. Use your hamstrings and the band to pull yourself back to the starting position

Form Tips

• Keep your hips pushed forward throughout the entire band assisted nordic hamstring curl movement • Control the descent - don't just fall forward even with band assistance • Your body should stay in a straight line from knees to head the whole time • Start with a strong band and work toward using less assistance over time

Common Mistakes

• Bending at the hips instead of keeping them pushed forward during the band assisted nordic hamstring curl • Going too fast on the way down and missing the strength-building part of the movement • Using your hands to catch yourself instead of relying on the band assisted nordic hamstring curl technique
