Want bigger stronger hamstrings? Me too! Always!

This collection shows the different ways I use and build up Nordic curls—from assisted variations and partial ranges to eccentrics and more advanced versions.

Use these videos to see how you can progress the Nordic curl and create a serious hamstring challenge through knee flexion without relying on deadlifts or other heavy hip-hinge exercises.

Watch the variations, find the level that works for you, and build from there.

Remember you do not need to do deadlifts or any other move to build muscle, you need to use the ones that let you overload your muscles without tearing tendons or joints!

This is why I train hamstrings with various curls. Light work with deadlifts or full range of hyper extensions do not allow me to overload my muscles, they just mess up my healed tendons from old injuries!
