How to do it

  1. Lie face down on the leg curl machine with the pad resting just above the heels.
  2. Grip the handles and keep the hips pressed flat against the bench.
  3. Curl the heels toward the glutes, driving the movement through the hamstrings.
  4. Squeeze the hamstrings hard at the top of the curl.
  5. Lower the pad back to the starting position over two counts.
  6. Keep the hips from lifting off the bench to swing the weight up.
