Hamstring Curls

Purpose of this exercise: TO DEVELOP THE HAMSTRINGS

Because most sports build the quadriceps muscle group automatically, it is important to consciously work on developing your hamstrings. Injuries can be caused by imbalances between muscles. This exercise should be done through the fullest range of motion possible.
