SESSION :

1. STANDING LEG CURL
done using a standing or kneeling leg curl or you can hack
some leg extensions for this. i have a monkey foot and that works
well also. get creative if you can – the standing position just has
a different resistance profile.

*prog overload each set in succession

NORDIC LEG CURL WITH ACCOMODATING
RESISTANCE
open kinetic chain leg curl with lots of attention
to the eccentrics on these. use a hip width anchored
in kneeling stance. accommodating resistance can come from
a band deload or a cable trainer.

its a standard rdl in technique but much higher degree
of difficulty unilaterally. use your free hand to hang onto
rack post for stability.
