Lying leg curl: how to do it with good form

The lying leg curl isolates the hamstrings, which are often weaker than the quads.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie face down with your knees just past the edge of the pad and the roller behind your ankles.

  2. 2

    Hold the handles and press your hips into the bench.

  3. 3

    Bend your legs and pull your heels towards your glutes.

  4. 4

    Lower slowly until your legs are almost straight.

Common mistakes

  • Hips lifting off the bench.
  • Jerking the weight up.
  • Dropping the weight quickly.
