Leg Curl (SS-LC)
Exercise
Muscles Used:
Hamstrings
Setup: Lie face down on the pads, positioning the knees just off the pad aligned with the machine
pivot, as indicated by the axis of rotation. The lower leg pad should be positioned
comfortably above the back of the ankles, adjusting pad if necessary. Using the adjustment
knob, adjust the start position to the desired range of motion. Check the weight stack to
ensure appropriate resistance. Grip the handles located under the chest pad at the head of
the machine.
NOTE: Excessively lifting the hips off the pad during the exercise can place unwanted stress
on the lower back. One method to overcome this is to slightly lift the thighs off the pad and
hold while performing the exercise, as this action forces the hip downward.
Movement: Keeping the hips in contact with the pad and with a controlled motion, curl the legs up till
fully flexed, without the hips losing contact with the pad. Return the legs to the start position,
without letting the resistance rest on the stack. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper
body positioning.
TIP: Allow the feet to maintain in a relaxed position during the exercise. Flexing the feet
during the exercise will activate the Gastrocnemius muscle and distract from the focus on the
Hamstrings muscle. Alternatively, allowing the Gastrocnemius muscle to assist increases the
functionality of the exercise. The action taken with the feet should depend upon the goals of
the exercise.
