ASSISTED REVERSE NORDIC CURL

The assisted reverse nordic curl is an eccentric and concentric strengthening exercise for the knee extensors. Start by looping a strength band around the body and anchor it to a stable pull up bar or squat rack. Start in a tall knee position and slowly lean backwards as far as you can without falling and keeping a neutral hip angle. You may grip onto the band if you require additional assistance. Keep the core braced to hold a neutral spine. Once at end range, contract the quadriceps to return the body to a tall kneel position.
