Reverse Nordic Curl: how to do it and form tips

The opposite of a Nordic curl — you lean back from kneeling while keeping your hips extended, loading the rectus femoris of the quads eccentrically.

Form tips

Kneel on a pad and anchor your feet under something sturdy.
Keeping your hips extended, lean your body back as far as you can control.
Use your hands to catch yourself at first — this is extremely challenging.
