What is a Nordic Bench?
A Nordic Bench is a specialised piece of gym equipment designed to facilitate Nordic hamstring curls. It features padded supports for the ankles and a platform for kneeling, providing stability and support for performing the exercise safely and effectively.
What are the benefits of Nordic Curls?
- Enhanced Hamstring Strength: Nordic curls improve both the strength and endurance of the hamstrings through eccentric and concentric contractions.
- Injury Prevention: Strengthening the hamstrings reduces the risk of injuries such as hamstring strains and tears.
- Improved Athletic Performance: Stronger hamstrings contribute to better sprinting speed, jumping ability, and overall lower body power.
- Muscle Balance: This exercise helps balance the strength between the hamstrings and quadriceps, reducing the risk of muscle imbalances.
- Functional Training: Nordic curls mimic real-life movements, enhancing the stability and strength of the posterior chain, crucial for athletic performance and daily activities.
What are Nordic Hamstring Curls?
Nordic hamstring curls are an exercise that targets the hamstrings, involving both eccentric (lengthening) and concentric (shortening) muscle contractions. Here's how to perform them:
- Setup: Secure your ankles under the padded supports of the Nordic Bench and kneel on the platform.
- Eccentric Phase: Slowly lower your torso towards the ground, keeping your hips extended and engaging your hamstrings to control the descent.
- Concentric Phase: Use your hamstrings to pull your body back to the starting position.
