Assisted Inverse Leg Curl
The Assisted Inverse Leg Curl targets the hamstrings and glutes while providing support for beginners.
- Start by lying face down on a bench or mat.
- Secure your feet under the padded support.
- Engage your core and curl your legs upward towards your glutes.
- Lower your legs back to the starting position with control.
How to perform the Assisted Inverse Leg Curl
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Assisted Inverse Leg Curl using your assisted.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your hamstrings.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your hamstrings rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
