Lying Hamstring Curl Machine

Form Cues

• Lie face down on the machine and position the ankle pad just above your heels

• Adjust the machine so your knees are just past the edge of the bench

• Keep your hips pressed firmly into the pad throughout — don't let them rise

• Curl your heels toward your glutes by contracting your hamstrings

• Squeeze at the top for a moment, then lower slowly with control

• Avoid jerking or using momentum to swing the weight up

• Point your toes slightly to reduce calf involvement
