Cable Hamstring Curl — hamstrings isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Cable Hamstring Curl

Isolation · Weight × reps

Attach an ankle cuff to the low pulley and choose either a supported standing position or a face-down bench aligned with the cable. Avoid arching the lower back, swinging the thigh forward, or rushing the lengthened position. Standing demands more balance, while lying support usually permits stricter knee motion; match pulley height and body position so the cable does not drag across the floor or pull the cuff loose.
