Seated Leg Curl

Muscles Trained

Set Up

1. 1Select your weight on the stack.
2. 2Adjust the back pad so your knee joint lines up with the machine's pivot point.
3. 3Adjust the ankle pad so it rests just above your heels.
4. 4Sit down and lower the thigh pad firmly across your lap.

How to Use It

1. 1Hold the side handles for stability.
2. 2Curl your legs down and under until you feel a full hamstring contraction.
3. 3Return the weight under control to the starting position.
4. 4Keep your back flat against the pad throughout.

Helpful Tips

• Keep your feet flexed toward your shins to isolate the hamstrings.
• Do not let the stack slam at the top.
• Move at a controlled tempo — no kicking.
• Start light while you dial in the pivot alignment.
