Seated Leg Curl: how to do it and form tips

A hamstring isolation machine performed seated. The 90-degree hip position maximally stretches the hamstrings.

Form tips

1. Adjust the back pad so your knee aligns with the machine pivot.
2. Curl fully until your hamstrings are contracted hard.
3. Control the return — don't let the weight snap back.
