341 Seated Leg Curl

Description

More about the gym machine

This Gymleco machine effectively trains the backside thighs or hamstrings. Sit down in the machine, place your legs in between the foot supports and bend your legs towards your body. The exercise focuses on the backside of your legs but also works out other muscle groups such as your calves.

Special features

The tilting design of the seat allows the muscle to work freely throughout the movement and the long movement path allows the muscle to work its entire length. The machine follows the body’s natural movement. In fact the balancing is so good that neither a counterbalanced lever or belt is needed.

The double cushions for the legs are designed to give a great grip and feeling when exercising since you also get eccentric training when raising your legs back to starting position. You can easily enter the machine by gripping the rubber handle to the right and pull the leg support down towards you. Once in you can change the weight in the machine while sitting down. Use the handles next to the seat to keep your body in place when training heavy. Make sure to adjust the back rest with our step-free setting so you have a good support for your back without any sway-back.

If needed you can add on weight to your weight stack to be able to do even heavier curls.

Check out the video below for instructions on how to use the gym machine. What you see is the same version as this but as a plate loaded version.

Important information

Make sure to have the end of the seat in your fold of the knee so that the knees get full support.
