#Hamstrings Curl

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

The seated hamstring curl is generally considered a better option than the lying hamstring curl because of the greater stretch you get on your hamstrings by being in a seated position. However, to get even more of a stretch you can also hunch forward - albeit not be as stable. So here’s my solution for this. #fitness #gym

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!

Don’t have a lying hamstring curl machine in your gym?? Try this instead!⬇️ Dumbbell hamstring curls are great because they force you to control the weight and feel your hamstrings throughout the entire movement, otherwise if you forcefully go too high or too low when doing these, you’ll drop the weight on your butt or on the floor, so a slower controlled motion is necessary. When doing the hamstring curl machine, I see SO many people throwing the pad around into their butt with their hips shooting up and they’re using so much other muscles to complete the reps.. don’t be this person.. but if you need a reminder on how to do these correctly.. go check out my previous form video on them! Now with dumbbell hamstring curls, the form remains the same, but here’s a few tips⬇️ ▶️Form Tips ✅Start with the tops of your knees up against the pad, this position may vary a little person to person but try to start and this and see what feels best for you ✅Keep your hips pushing into the pad, think about squeezing your glutes to help keep your hips tucked ✅Squeeze your toes together to help secure the dumbbell ✅Control the weight throughout the entire motion not going tooo high or tooo low. You’ll feel it when your not stable and balanced between legs so be intentional with your movement You can also do these laying directly on the ground, you’ll just get a little less range of motion, but they also work too!
