🔥 How to Legs Exercises Curl

✅ The most common overlooked muscle group for bodybuilders is the hamstring. The hamstring is often referred to the leg biceps for composing two primary muscles and they are situated at the back of the thigh. ✅ Exercises that primarily target the hamstring are few and far between with more of the hamstring used as a supporting muscle in a number of movements

1.🚨 Hamstring Curls

✅ These are the best direct exercise for growing the hamstring. Hamstring curls are able to be done lying, sitting or standing. Using one leg at a time is an option for evening out the muscles. Keeping good form is essential when performing the leg curl. I have found stretching the hamstrings between leg curl sets keeps the muscle from cramping

2. 🚨 Leg Presses

✅ The modified squat. Leg pressing allows for a greater amount of weight to be added to the leg pressing movement. Whilst the quads are fatigued primarily, the hamstrings are involved in the exercise. Brining the knees back to the chest for the greatest range of movement and pushing until locking out the knees. An alternate move is to stop just before lockout to keep the quads active

3. 🚨 Lunges

✅ Using dumbbells or a barbell the lunge is just like walking but dropping the trailing knee to the floor and back up again to a standing position. The whole leg receives a strong burn, the glutes and quads are mostly used but the hamstring assists the leg

4. 🚨 Squats

✅ Squats are the cornerstone exercise for leg development. Every prominent bodybuilder in history has incorporated squats into their leg program. All muscle in the leg is being stimulated and the hamstring is one the secondary muscles involved in the movement. Squatting is the biggest mass builder second only perhaps to the deadlift so should be part of everyone’s workout program regardless

These 4 exercises are the best hamstring builders. Hamstrings should never be overlooked as they are almost always underdeveloped compared to the quad and rest of the leg. Think of working the hamstrings as the bicep for the arm. It represents a large part of the physique
