How To: Seated Leg Curl (Cybex)

[@vinny2474]

I can't believe I'm watching a video of yours from 11 years ago lol. The point is that I needed this information, and it's still good ! Thanks again scott!

[@imamusicmogul]

great tip on how to adjust and loosen the part where you rest your legs on... I always help so many people on that machine to get the screw to loosen up!!!!

[@rstove698]

I use this machine rarely when the leg curl is full. I went to a new gym today and couldnt get parts to adjust (old rusty machine). Glad to see I "tried" everything right, expect for the trick in this video... good stuff.

Does it help to do it shirtless? :D

[@pickledpope]

50% more muscle is gained when you take off your shirt. Little known fact.

what about pants?!

[@themorningsky2632]

Thank you for this video. I was using the machine for the first time and I didn't know how to set it up properly, and it caused a very uncomfortable feeling on my legs. This video helped me fix it perfectly ^^

[@bkershaccount]

thank you scott. the setting locations and form were so helpful. great lesson, as always. i need to correct some settings on my machine.

[@edixionz8758]

Adjust backpad to where your knees are at the pivot point of machine (slightly in front of seat) Adjust ankle pad to sit right under your ankle Keep feet neutral & relaxed (straight) Adjust thigh pad as tight as you can possibly place it, gripping the bars Contract hamstrings as you tug down, breathing out on push & breathing in on stretch

[@OfficialTaskMaster]

MAAAAAH NIGGA

[@justinmowbray6346]

Thanks Scott for all that you do to help beginners at the gym. Really appreciate all the videos you've made.

[@TimeLapse54321]

Thanks for that trick you do with your hands! I keep sliding forward on the seat now that my weights have been increasing. I'll try this method next time I'm at the gym.

[@peppehgreens66]

Thank god. I finally dont scoot foward while I do this exersice. I think it had to do with the pivot point of the machine not being inline with my knee

[@quandaledingle8960]

Lining knee up with pivot point is an awesome que to look for. Tybb

What’s the average weight I should do at the gym? I’m only 13, but I’m able to do 130lb-150lb without much problems, I’d just like a bit of advice on that because it sounds like a lot 😅

[@QueenOfPigs]

3 times I’ve gone up to this machine, can’t pull the adjustments properly and just left in shame😭

[@Justifiedforce]

Love your vids. Trying to watch them all.

[@EsmaragdoGonzalez]

Do I curl with my hamstring or do I curl with my heel?

[@dougbutcher4452]

I never noticed the dot. Thanks

[@JustCedThings]

I get incredibly painful cramp in my hamstrings when doing the seated leg curl. Is this a form error?

[@mcgrindah8967]

I get that all the time too.

[@seanodonovan6204]

Yeah if I curl my leg too far back I get a cramp in my hamstring and I look like a dumbass trying to get rid of it

[@oliverfootball1]

Stretch before workout. Drink more water

[@SuperBigwill85]

This machine is known as the perpetual cramp machine lol. Stretch before and stay hydrated

[@shackinternational]

@@oliverfootball1 so he will deplete more electrolytes. He has to drink electrolytes in his water.

[@CobrazHD]

My gym only has Precor`s seated leg curl machine and with its ROM adjuster at position 6, i cant get full stretch and weight stack hits other plates. I`m just 6 feet guy so what i can do?

[@ms-ped-0-beargundam619]

Finally this dude puttin in a leg day.

[@user-xk5ul8tr9e]

Knee in line with pivot. Rest should be as tight as possible. Pad should end at the top of your shoe. ROM depending on flexibility.

[@happygirl4218]

Thank you for this. I'm still intimidated, but I'm going to keep it up

[@89kilemal]

How are you doing now?

[@jrippon]

Thanks for the tip. I could never understand why they don't provide a seat belt on these machines to stop your butt from sliding forward when you're using a half-decent weight. The handles don't help!

[@STARPHROST]

jeez it's like you're getting strapped into a REEEALLY fast rollercoaster haha....does this work the calves?

Scott what is the difference between seated and lying leg curls? Which is better??

[@_yxngwxlf_]

I have a problem where the stack just keeps on hitting the rest of the stack, I can't get clean reps

[@realjohnsacco]

That prayer hands trick at the end just saved me 6 weeks of lower back discomfort 🫡

[@DanLee70]

He should have just said - never ever do this exercise. I’ve watched many experts giving this machine a thumbs down due to pressure on the knee joint.

[@matthew3791]

Every movement has its pros and cons. If it’s not for you that’s fine but for a lot of people it’s really effective for training hamstrings without causing knee issues.

[@niteshverma8013]

While doing this I feel pain in right hip joint. What possibly I am doing wrong?

[@jeffriessman9693]

This is a leg Extension Exercise. I want a leg curl should be not going backwards but should be going forward.

[@bin1127]

@cheke64 it's best for the semitendinosus. trying to figure out what that is exactly.

I'll be sad when I have all these exercises memorized and i don't need to watch these anymore.

[@AfghanResistance]

At my gym, the seat moves backwards and dowm suddenly. Only happens when you go heavy. I do the full rack but that can cause serious injury. Definitely not made correctly or its messed up. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

[@TheObiribea]

I tried to move it on a light weight and I couldn't move it 🤣. Are some of them locked before you use them?

Isn't this leg extensions?

[@rubenTR309]

I wish the one at my gym had the pad above the knee instead of below. And yup, u go up a certain weight and it pulls you forward >:(

[@mohannadaljabri4988]

there are other forms of the leg curls that you can look up.

[@rubenTR309]

To be honest. I didn't have my seat far enough forward. I found another one at the gym on a different floor that allows you to adjust the lower pad like in this video. That's made all the difference

[@wolfgang9378]

[@SuperBigwill85]

If your toes are pointed up like he said then your calves are heavily involved in the exercise. Pointing your toes will put more of the tension on your hamstrings.

@@SuperBigwill85 you mean pointing straight

[@SuperBigwill85]

@@revivalist355 yeah, I could have worded that better

[@fabiogaucho77]

Instructions are a great thing, but you also need decent equipment... the machine I use does not have half those adjustments, and the weight only goes as far as 150lb.
