Workouts To Build Strong & Jacked Legs

Seated Leg Curls

The seated leg curl is a hamstring-focused exercise that starts in a seated position on a machine with a padded seat with legs extended almost completely, with the backs of ankles resting against pads. Often, a bar fastens over your lap to stabilize your body.

Inhale in this position and pause. As you exhale, bend your knees as far as desired to engage your hamstrings. Inhale and straighten your legs until they return to their starting position. Many will notice it becomes harder to bend their legs far as their hamstrings become fatigued during a set. As with the other exercises, it is relatively common to increase weight for each set.
