Seated Leg Curl
Seated Hamstring Curl
Machine Machines
The seated leg curl is performed sitting upright with the thighs pinned and the knees flexing the lever pad down and back. The hip-flexed position places the hamstrings under greater stretch, biasing the longer muscle lengths and the semimembranosus and semitendinosus. Sit tall against the pad, curl through a full range, and resist the weight back to full extension.
