Outback Performance: Neglected Exercises
Neglected Exercises
This series of exercises you may need to remember will still benefit you in and out of the gym. Today’s exercise is an eccentric hamstring curl with sliders.
What it is: It’s a bodyweight eccentric (lowering) hamstring curl using furniture sliders while lying on the floor.
Muscles Trained: Glutes and hamstrings.
How it helps: The beauty of this exercise is that you get to control the intensity by how slowly you lower. The eccentric hamstring curl improves the eccentric strength of your hamstrings, and it strengthens your hamstrings as a knee flexor and hip extender.
Tips: Lie on the floor with your back in neutral, sliders underneath your heel, and toes pointed towards the ceiling. Come into a hip extension, squeeze your glutes, and slowly perform an eccentric hamstring curl of five to six seconds until you’re on the ground. Slide your heels back and repeat. Three to four sets of eight to 12 reps will have your hammies rocking.
