Leg Curl Alternatives: How To Train Hamstrings Without Machines (At Home Options)

[@rogerhagen305]

Perfect for my homegym

[@yourcoach3713]

Thanks a lot, buddy! That's exactly what I needed as a set of leg curl replacement exercises.

[@patbollin]

Phenomenal video on all levels: info, personality, clarity of instruction, image quality, sound quality, and the obvious forethought that went into it. Thanks

[@trentsummers8766]

Different options for Nordics at the end was massively helpful - thanks mate!

[@mattfitzpatrick4008]

This was very helpful! I am going to implement the dumbell bench curls and the rowing seat curls. I discovered an isometric online for hammies that just uses your legs. That has really fired up my hams as well.

[@GG-kp1hb]

This is a great series idea AND the execution is SO WELL DONE

[@Mr-mopar]

Banded ham string curls are no joke..the constant tension really feels different than machines. I prefer them to the machine now.

[@Accummen_ENT]

Great Video

[@edwardsalinas9004]

Hay BROTHER... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELPFUL ADVICE... EDDY SALINAS.

[@ShannonTheMojito]

This is so well set up and informative.

[@matthewt1885]

great video. I have a herniated disc and was looking for alternatives to deadlifts

[@Xtramedium1961]

Thanks from co Wicklow Ireland, and all free as well, you’re a gentleman!

[@simonsilva250]

Such a complete video. The information you put in this channel is greatly appreciated. Thank you so so much.

[@kapottespaarpot]

I just discovered this at 1 am, great timing.. Fully hyped to try this. But I will save it for tomorrow. Thanks man!

[@CeliaMitchell-ot5ir]

Hey , Sir ,who are you? This was an excellent tutorial. I've never seen a video that was so detailed. Something for everyone. I loved this.

[@STBRetired1]

What a bunch of GREAT ideas. I've been dropping the bar on my Smith machine down low and trying to do Nordic curls. But now, I'm going to turn over and hang from the bar the way you showed. That should be a lot less strain until my hamstrings get stronger. If my grip starts giving out then I'll try using some rubber gloves from Harbor Freight to hang longer. If that doesn't work then I'll buy a pair of straps that weightlifters use for heavy deadlifts. Thanks for making the video.

[@YouTubeChillZone]

You can do what you do with the rubber assist kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3WalKKlepd1gtE

6:52 genius, master, king, idol. thx so much this excercise save me

[@grega4422]

Thank you for showing many different ways to exercise with out using machine

[@chrisdonnell2575]

Bells of Steel has nice cheap leg extension/curl for racks. I set it up to use my Rep Athena cable, takes weight and can add bands too for full resistance.

[@archonlian]

One take! Incredible video.

[@MrHappyPaz]

the curls on the rowing machine are so creative! i love it! thank you!

[@michaelkulman7095]

This is great! I would love to see a Macgyver Monday playlist!

[@chrisdonnell2575]

Bands probably best since you can increase resistance and strengthen them. I have cable system will do the lying down leg curl using my hands to support my leg. Love that one! Ankle weights should be here tomorrow.

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

EXCELLENT!!! Wish I had seen this when on Covid lockdown a few years ago (all the gyms were closed) and I was working out at home. I had a squat rack, bench, barbells, dumbbells, bands, etc, and worked a few hamstring exercises but didn't think of all these. I will keep my home gym (even though I'm back at my regular gym) and will use these again - also I will try some of these at the away gym for variety. Thanks! Liked and subscribed.

[@5316north6]

This is some valuable stuff man! Love the content

[@EfieldHfield_377]

Great stuff - just what I was looking for.

[@wjvlodek8769]

Good information..and good presentation. THANKS!!

[@jamesyoungsing9497]

These are great. I dont have access to a gym but i do have dumbbells. Very informative

[@KrishnaKumar-np3tw]

Great, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

[@robbyyn]

Great alternatives! Thank you,!

[@dyvel]

I haven't thought about the TRX options for hamstring curls, only yoga balls which is a little bit too hard for me at the moment. Thanks for good advice!

[@geraldfriend256]

I just got a leg curl machine BUT still gotta check these out. I am home gym all the way… those band curls have a different resistance curve which gets harder towards the end… not much else does that.

[@donneyourexcellency8377]

Seriously this is the best instructional video I seen here on KZbin. Thank you

[@marcelkrownmotorworks9842]

Awesome completion of variants for the hamstring!

[@johnjackman7946]

i like your approach to leg curls at 9:00. i have added that to my routine. thanks!

[@cdm1972]

Nice. I like the bands approach best.

[@nikitaw1982]

i do a fitness class and we run 3 or 4 200 meters dotted through the workout and i'm always dead last. Thank you will do some of these and hopefully be towards the front of the pack in a few weeks.

[@ones_flow5652]

These are very good ones! Thank you very much!

[@chazmuska]

Some great exercises and modifications! subscribed

[@mxiastate5629]

Thank you so much for giving me hope. My sciatica has made it very difficult to train hamstring and this gives me so much hope 😢🥲

[@flashyflash1164]

This guy needs more views great job

[@Ciddiyetle]

Awesome, thank you so much, that video opened my mind 💡

[@emilybirchard878]

I would have never thought to utilize a cardio machine for strength training. You’re very creative and seem to have a great handle on muscle function. Thank you!!

[@PaulBerginWyckoffian]

This is fantastic looking forward to future videos

[@Iranatg]

Great video lots of options .thank you

So cool - many different options and explained very well! Great video.

For this video Sir you got yourself a subscriber.👏

[@betterlifeptstudio7314]

Great video, very well done. Leg curls are an underutilized exercise. These are great variations to use without buying an expensive leg curl machine. Thank You.

[@lawrence675a]

Very helpful thankyou so much, and if a way to keep your grip from failing on that bench and barbell one would be to use straps

[@AliAlderete]

JUST what i needed, great content! The set up for the nordic curls is great!

[@jacobhamacher7577]

Much thanks! Excellent options for the hamstrings!

[@freeatlast1810]

Great content. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@ajfitnessmk7110]

[@Donman5]

This was such a great video! I have a new home gym and there's a few things from my old routine I didn't know how I'd do. I have bands now and those band exercises you demonstrated were excellent! I'll give those a shot!

[@discoverdiscipline8080]

Love this video but you don’t cover the band set-up shown in the video cover photo - do you have this in a separate video?

[@CitizenAthletics]

This is the same as the bench set up, just on the ground.

[@black56night]

Ok, a bit late to the party here, but I swear that degree of variations is just fantastic. Thank so much. 👍

[@rogueleader1246]

Great stuff, I love the variations which makes it not dependent on gym all the time

[@R.Es1]

Nice! Appreciate this one. Tons of great options

[@defface777]

Nice, been looking for something like this!!!

[@markg8836]

Right away you point out how flexion only hits 3 heads while extensions hit 4. It's amazing that most trainers/coaches won't even mention that ever.

[@CitizenAthletics]

Definitely! Most don't realize that the biceps femoris short head is only hit with knee flexion!

[@Rbcaul]

I feel confused, in the video he actually says the extension movement hits only 3 , and flexion hits the 4th one that extensions don’t (I don’t know myself I’m just looking for clarification )

[@maiwai6]

@@Rbcaul “HIP extension” (bending at the hip) hits 3, “KNEE flexion” (bending the knee) hits all 4… is that a bit clearer? 🤙 I’m loving these different variations 🙌

[@Rbcaul]

@@maiwai6 yes, now I totally get it 😀 🙏🏼

This video has saved me some serious money; I was about to buy a bench but these options may work just as good. So excited to try some of these. Thanks for sharing this information.

[@longhairedfrique6334]

Funny. I am buying a bench because of these videos :). Clearly, there are non-bench options, but I want to try them all.

[@hiawithani123]

Super awesome, thanks!

[@Harry_16710]

Great variety!👏👏

[@danielericcadonna7265]

Good selection of exercises! I usually go with nordic curls and swiss ball leg curls (performing the "triple threat" exercise). I should try the variation with the feet fixed and the body moving, never thought about that.

[@HomeStrengthTraining]

I like Nordic curls allot, I've done Swiss balk curls but don't have a Swiss ball. The hanging leg curl is awesome I do it one leg at a time then superset it with a hanging bridge. It I'd very grip intensive but u can use straps. I highly recommend them for home training

[@manimal9871]

Great video dude thanks.

[@CitizenAthletics]

Glad you liked it!

[@manimal9871]

@@CitizenAthletics sure did, i hit 8 sets of squats yesterday and tried out a few sets of the ball curls after....they fried my hammies lmfao
