How to perform

Select the desired weight, then adjust the pad so it rests comfortably above the back of the heels. Tense up the hamstrings by taking the weight slightly off the stack. This is the starting position for the exercise. Take a deep breath, squeeze the hamstrings, and curl the weight up as far as possible while keeping the spine neutral. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Biceps femoris

Tips

Keep knees just shy of lockout to maintain tension. Keep hips and lower back pressed into the pad. Avoid jutting the head forward. Control the tempo without using momentum.
