Live Lean Nation, on today’s exercise demonstration, I’m showing you how to do single leg lying leg curl.
The Single Leg Lying Leg Curl is an excellent exercise that targets each hamstring independently to balance out any muscle imbalances. I also like to complete the single leg lying leg curl as an activation exercise before I hit the hamstrings with a compound exercise.
Watch the SINGLE LEG LYING LEG CURL: exercise demonstration video above.
To perform SINGLE LEG LYING LEG CURL:
1. Lie face down on a lying leg curl machine with one leg under the pad, just below your calf muscles.
2. Grip the handles with your hands and really press your hips into the pad as you don’t want your hips rising during the curling of the weight.
3. With your feet flexed (meaning your toes are curled towards your shins), initiate the hamstrings to begin curling the weight and bringing one leg towards your glutes.
4. Squeeze at the top position, then under control, point your toes away, then slowly lower the weight.
5. Once again, raise the weight with feet flexed and lower the weight with toes pointed to really isolate the hamstrings by removing the muscles in the calves from helping with the lift.
6. Repeat all the reps with one side, then switch legs and repeat.
