Nordic Hamstring Curl Anatomy

The Nordic hamstring curl involves kneeling on a pad and lowering under control while the ankles are held in place by a partner, a loaded barbell, or any other immovable object. The Nordic hamstring curl is a highly effective hamstring exercise. It can help prevent hamstring injuries due to the eccentric emphasis which shifts the hamstring’s maximum force potential to larger muscle lengths. Common mistake: hip flexion, trunk flexion through the hip joint. Learn more:
