STANDING DUMBBELL HAMSTRING CURL

The standing dumbbell hamstring curl is used to strengthen knee flexors. Start by strapping a dumbbell to the bottom of your foot using a dumbbell foot strap. While standing, begin to bend the knee to raise the weight towards your buttock. Hold a contraction at the top of the movement for 2-4 seconds before lowering the leg in a controlled manner. You may put your hands on a wall or squat rack for balance support.
