Exercise Description

The nordic hamstring curl bodyweight builds crazy hamstring strength and bulletproofs your legs against injury. It's one of the toughest bodyweight moves you can do.

How To

1. Kneel on a soft surface with someone holding your ankles firmly or anchor your feet under something heavy. 2. Keep your body straight from knees to head - no bending at the hips during the nordic hamstring curl bodyweight. 3. Slowly lower your body forward using only your hamstrings to control the descent. 4. Go as low as you can while keeping control, then push yourself back up with your hands if needed. 5. Focus on the slow lowering phase - that's where the nordic hamstring curl bodyweight really works your muscles.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire nordic hamstring curl bodyweight movement • Lower yourself as slowly as possible - aim for 5+ seconds • Don't bend at the hips - stay straight from knees to head during your nordic hamstring curl bodyweight • Use your hands to help push back up until you get stronger

Common Mistakes

• Bending at the hips instead of keeping a straight line during the nordic hamstring curl bodyweight • Dropping down too fast without controlling the movement • Not going through the full range of motion in your nordic hamstring curl bodyweight
