Lever Lying Single Leg Curl

The Lever Lying Single Leg Curl targets the hamstrings while promoting balance and stability.

  1. Adjust the machine to fit your body size.
  2. Lie face down on the bench with one leg extended and the other leg positioned under the padded lever.
  3. Engage your core and curl the lever towards your glutes.
  4. Lower the lever back to the starting position with control.
  5. Complete the desired repetitions before switching legs.

How to perform the Lever Lying Single Leg Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Lever Lying Single Leg Curl using your leverage machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
