Improve YOUR Leg Curl!!

[lisaduncan]

Yes! Absolutely, i love to work the eccentric phase of leg curls.

So this is where the thing from fantastic four ended up

[stevenbaker]

In 33 been training for like 15+ years and I just last night found out how to use the leg extension to target my outer quads. This whole time I’ve thought it was only a teardrop exercise and is the only place I’d ever feel it.

Hamstring burn is the only thing i look forwards to on legdays😅 feels so good

[Sleepy_spartan]

Common theme is to control the eccentric portion. I was so many younger lifters let the weight slam down on their chest during flat bench just to feel like they are moving more weight from the bounce. That control is what’s going to help mitigate injury and keep that time under tension high, hence more tissue damage (the good kind lol).

Was concerned this was the other cutler for a brief moment until I saw actual effort

[DiMono]

Is it "better" to position your knees such that the pad remains at your ankles for the whole motion, or to let it ride up your calf as the hamstring contracts?

[janiselmeris]

Would pointed toes make some difference here?

Dr Mike got cooked by those captions gahdamm

I also always do the first 2 to 3 inches slowly instead of exploding from the start.

Also, nice leg curl.

Honestly, at 43 and having had rather a few major surgeries during my Army time, it hurts me to NOT use a slow eccentric. I actually can't do quick hamstring curls like Jay anymore without serious pain. I don't do as much weight as I used to but I'm just as big so I'll stick with the Dr. Mike approved form. Also I'm still waiting for Dr. Mike to get back to me on some.. umm.. personal training I need help with. Yeah..

Id do legs curls or extensions If i could fit on any of the machines

[theprodigalson]

I wonder if different tempos work for diffeeent lifters at different stages of their devlopment

[samdoornbos]

I have a weird disconnect with leg curls, I can do R.D.L.s no problem but with leg curls I instantly crap up for some reason and then leg day is done even if I go super light... So I just do other exercises now

[derekmendoza]

Doctor mike. I try to do probably 2 seconds or 3. I notice you do 1 second. Am I doing too much?

Because those 2-3 seconds really lowers my volume. But i also value the stretch you taught me

[gregmulligan]

The area behind my knees hurts on the descent. Is it ruining my gains to go down a bit fast?

[bigcsbigbrother]

Aye, who else saw the comment here that said out mans lookin like ben grimm😂😂😂

[steveffuksake]

According to the experts Jay Cutler's training was shit 😂

[bobbowie]

Leg curls are a worthless exercise. Do stiff legged deadlifts instead.
