Leg Curl

The lying leg curl is a machine isolation exercise where you lie prone and flex the knees to curl a padded lever toward the glutes, targeting all heads of the hamstrings with emphasis on the biceps femoris. Keep the hips pressed into the pad and avoid jerking, curling smoothly through a full range. Control the eccentric to maximize hamstring tension.
