Description

  • Adjust leg extension/curl arm into upper position. Adjust back pad in forward most position. Set resistance.
  • Sit in bench placing one foot on lower roller pad, press leg arm downward slightly. Flip up thigh stabilization roller pads and slide thigh under roller pad so it sits just above kneecap. Place other foot on top of the other leg arm roller pad and the other thigh under the other stabilization roller pad.
  • Move body forward so knees align with forward most pivot point (orange washers) and the edge of seat pad is away from the knee joint.
  • Start with legs extended but without locking knees. Slowly contract hamstrings and bring feet down toward buttocks as far as you can.
  • Return to start position and repeat.

ProTip

  • Lead up with your heels as you curl your legs.

Mistakes

  • Jerky pulling motion.
  • Allowing the hips to raise off of the seat.
