Conseils techniques
The lever should be adjusted to fit snugly against your lower calves, just above your ankles. If it's too high, it can put unnecessary pressure on your calves and if it's too low, it may not effectively target your hamstrings.
When performing the exercise, avoid the temptation to use momentum. Instead, use a controlled, smooth motion to curl the lever up and then lower it back down. This will ensure that your hamstrings are doing the work and not your lower back or hips.
A common mistake is to curl the lever up too far, causing your hips to lift off the seat.
