Assisted Prone Hamstring

Lie facedown on a mat. Bend one knee and place your foot flat on the floor. Keep the other leg straight and extended behind you. Use your hands to support your upper body, placing them on the floor just below your shoulders. Lift your straight leg towards the ceiling, as high as you can, while keeping your hips and lower body flat on the mat. Repeat on the other leg.

How to perform the Assisted Prone Hamstring

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Assisted Prone Hamstring using your assisted.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your hamstrings.
  3. 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.
