| <P>Lie face downward on a leg curl machine and hook your heels under the level mechanism. Your legs should be stretched out straight.</P>
<P>Keeping flat on the bench, curl your leg(s) up as far as possible, until the leg biceps are fully contracted. Release and lower the weight slowly back to the starting position. Hold on to the handles or to the bench itself to keep yourself from lifting up off the bench.</P>
<P>This exercise should be done strictly and through the fullest range of motion possible. Try supporting yourself on your elbows to keep the lower part of your body more firmly on the bench.</P> |
