Lying Leg Curl: how to do it and form tips

A prone machine leg curl that isolates the hamstrings through knee flexion. The lying position allows a long hamstring stretch for maximum muscle stimulus.

Form tips

  1. Align your knees with the pivot point and set the pad above your heels.
  2. Curl all the way up and hold the contraction briefly.
  3. Lower slowly under control — the eccentric is where most damage and growth occurs.
