The seated leg curl targets the hamstrings, improving strength and flexibility. Common mistakes include using too much weight and improper seat adjustment, which can strain the knees. Ensure the knee aligns with the machine’s pivot point for optimal movement. Control the motion, focusing on the contraction and avoiding momentum. For beginners, start with lighter weights and gradually increase. Advanced users can add intensity by slowing the eccentric phase. Pair with exercises like leg extensions for balanced leg development. Adjust seat height and backrest for comfort and effective range of motion.
