How to perform

Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley. Secure the strap around your ankle and stand facing the machine. Step back to create tension. Keep your torso upright, using the machine for support. Flex your knee, curling your heel towards your glutes; thigh remains stationary. Pause at the top, contracting your hamstrings. Slowly extend your leg back to the starting position. Switch legs after completing the desired repetitions.

Tips

Control the movement to maximize hamstring engagement. Avoid swinging; isolate the movement. Align your knee with the pulley's axis. Engage your core for balance. Start with a lighter weight. Consider performing this exercise towards the end of your workout.
