The lying leg curl builds strong hamstrings and improves knee stability. It helps balance your quad strength and protects your knees from injury.
1. Lie face down on the leg curl machine with the pad resting just above your ankles 2. Grip the handles and keep your hips pressed down against the bench throughout the movement 3. Curl your heels toward your glutes by contracting your hamstrings in a smooth motion 4. Squeeze your hamstrings at the top of the lying leg curl, then slowly lower the weight back down 5. Keep tension in your hamstrings and repeat for your target reps without letting the weight stack touch
• Keep your hips glued to the bench during the entire lying leg curl to avoid cheating • Control the weight down slowly - the negative part builds serious hamstring strength • Point your toes down slightly to get better hamstring activation during the lying leg curl • Don't swing the weight up - use smooth, controlled movements for best results
• Lifting your hips off the bench during the lying leg curl reduces hamstring activation and can hurt your back • Dropping the weight too fast misses out on the muscle-building benefits of the negative portion • Using too much weight that forces you to swing and cheat your way through the lying leg curl movement
