The lying cable hamstring curl isolates your hamstrings better than most exercises. It builds strong, defined hamstrings while keeping constant tension throughout the movement.
1. Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley of a cable machine and secure it around your ankle. 2. Lie face down on a bench positioned away from the machine, gripping the bench sides for stability. 3. Keep your leg straight and pull your heel toward your glute by contracting your hamstring. 4. Hold the peak contraction for one second, then slowly lower your leg back to the starting position. 5. Complete all reps on one leg before switching to perform the lying cable hamstring curl on the other side.
• Keep your hips pressed against the bench throughout the entire lying cable hamstring curl movement. • Focus on squeezing your hamstring at the top rather than just moving the weight. • Control the negative portion - don't let the cable snap your leg back down. • Point your toe down toward the floor to maximize hamstring activation during the lying cable hamstring curl.
• Lifting your hips off the bench reduces hamstring activation and can strain your lower back. • Moving too fast through the lying cable hamstring curl turns it into a momentum exercise instead of muscle building. • Using too much weight prevents you from getting a full range of motion and proper muscle contraction.
