How to perform
1
Adjust the machine: Set the backrest so your knees align with the machine's pivot point. Adjust the leg pad so it rests just above your Achilles tendons.
2
Get in position: Sit down and lower the thigh pad firmly but comfortably onto your thighs to lock your legs in place.
3
Curl: Pull the pad down in a controlled and smooth motion by flexing your knees. Squeeze your hamstrings at the bottom of the movement.
4
Return slowly: Slowly and controllably return the weight to the starting position, resisting the weight on the way up. Do not let the weight stack slam.
