Nordic Hamstring Curl

Yesterday we looked at the Glute Ham Raise and a variation of this exercise called the Nordic Hamstring Curl (also occasionally referred to as the Russian Hamstring Curl).

The Nordic Hamstring Curl in particular is a very challenging exercise. Even just performing the eccentric part of the movement will be difficult for many people to achieve with good form and under control.

Bands are usually used to increase the resistance in an exercise (using the accomodating resistance principle). In the video below you will see how you can use bands to decrease the difficulty of this exercise.



The level of assistance required will depend on your strength levels. You can make the exercise easier by using stronger bands or by using multiple bands.
