#Hamstring Curl Workout Routine

Nordic curls 🫶 So ideal if you only have a prone hamstring curl as I know a lot of people (me included) don’t really get on with it You don’t need this set set up either, you can hook your feet under any railings in your gym or under a stable machine if necessary! Be prepared for the most insane burn 🫠 These are also insane for injury prevention which is always an added bonus 🤝 #nordiccurls #hamstrings #legday #bodybuilding #oneractive

Single Leg Hamstring Curl (mini band only!) 🗯️Mini Bands are my favorite for movement prep/activation exercises, and when you’re on the go traveling. HOW TO: - Place the mini band around one ankle and one arch (where your shoe laces are) - Roll over onto your stomach, straighten your legs and tuck your toes - Draw the heel of the ankle with the mini band on it to your glute, and fully extend back out. - Rinse & Repeat other side #hamstringworkout #hamstringrehab #minibandworkout

Nordic hamstring curls 🔥 set up instructions if you don’t have the machine at your gym: 1️⃣ Load a barbell with weight. How much depends on your body weight and the surface the barbell is on. For most people, 135lb minimum is suggested. 2️⃣ Put a squat pad on the barbell, or some sort of soft padding for your ankles. 3️⃣ Roll the barbell against a rack, so the rack is in the middle of the barbell. 4️⃣ Place heavy dumbbells in front of the plates. How much depends once again on body weight and surface the barbell is on but 50-80lb is a general range to play around with. 5️⃣ Put a knee cushion on the ground or any soft cushion to protect your knees. 6️⃣ If you need assistance (I mean don’t all of us?😂) wrap a heavy band around the rack. 7️⃣ Place band around upper body, ankles under the barbell, and knees on the cushion 8️⃣ Curl!🔥 #hamstrings #lowerbodyworkout #gymrat

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE 👀 Lying hamstring curl edition On the top one, my hips are lifting and my lower back is arching… That usually means you’re swinging the weight up and my lower back is taking over a lot of the work On the bottom, my hips stay glued to the pad, core is braced and the movement is way more controlled. That’s what actually loads the hamstrings properly If you’re doing these and barely feeling your hamstrings… this could be why! Save this for next time you do your hamstring curls 🔥 #hamstrings #legday #gymtips #fitnesstips #gymgirl

Let me fix your hamstring curl … ✅ Make sure your legs are pinned into the machine for maximum stability - they shouldn’t be moving around ✅ point your toes towards the sky and heels up throughout the whole movement - this will put more emphasis on the hammy ✅ lean forward for to get a deeper stretch and contraction Save this for your next leg day! #gym #fitness #gymtips #legday #legworkout #gymmotivation #bodybuilding

STOP DOING SHITTY HAMSTRING CURLS ❌ Let’s fix that. Here are some key tips: ✅ you must dig your hips into the bench. It’s crucial for proper form. ✅ Brace your core. Engage your abs to stabilize your pelvis and prevent your hips from lifting ✅ Control the tempo. Avoid using momentum; lift and lower the weight in a CONTROLLED manner to keep tension on the hamstrings ✅ Flex your ankles- if you point toes away (planterflexion) this isn’t necessarily wrong but it will reduce calf involvement. I don’t mind using my calves as well so I pull my toes towards me. But honestly you can try both and see what feels best for you!
