What is the Lying Hamstring Curls?

The lying hamstring curl is an isolation exercise that specifically targets the hamstring muscles. Commonly used as a complementary exercise in leg workouts, it enhances both strength and knee joint stability. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced athlete, integrating this exercise into your routine can aid in achieving better muscle balance between the quadriceps and hamstrings.

How to properly perform the Lying Hamstring Curls

  1. Start by lying face down on a leg curl machine, with your ankles positioned under the padded lever.
  2. Hold onto the handles of the machine for support and stability.
  3. Keep your upper body flat on the bench and your legs fully extended.
  4. Bend your knees, bringing your heels towards your glutes, while keeping the rest of your body stationary.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
