Leg Curl with Pause (Isometric Hold)
Increase intensity and time-under-tension by pausing the movement at the point of peak contraction. This creates a deep burn and improves muscle control.
Level:Intermediate
Type:Machine-based
Technique
How to perform
1
Begin as you would with a classic leg curl, using a slightly lighter weight than usual.
2
Curl your legs upwards and once you reach peak contraction (heels close to glutes), pause the movement.
3
Hold this position, squeezing your hamstrings, for 2-3 seconds.
4
Slowly and with control, lower the weight back to the starting position.
