Common questions
What can I do instead of the Dumbbell Lying Leg Curl?
The closest substitutes are the Power Clean, Kick Out Sit and Glute-Ham Raise. Each trains the hamstrings as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Dumbbell Lying Leg Curl programming.
Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Dumbbell Lying Leg Curl?
Yes — the Kick Out Sit trains the hamstrings with no added weight. Progress by adding reps, slowing the tempo, or adjusting leverage.
Can I just rotate these with the Dumbbell Lying Leg Curl?
Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the hamstrings first.
