Single-Leg Lying Hamstring Curl

Muscles Targeted:

  • This exercise isolates the hamstrings and does a great job of revealing imbalances between each leg.

Form:

  • Lay face down on the machine with your ankles under the pad.

  • Curl your leg bringing your ankle toward your butt, keep a constant pace throughout the set and the same pace with each leg.

  • It’s important to avoid having one leg stronger than the other but it is common, this is one reason why single-leg exercises are so important.

Rep Ranges:

  • Make sure you always do the same reps for each leg to avoid future imbalances.

  • This exercise is best performed in moderate to high rep ranges and at a slow pace.
