Hey Mike, great video. Would love to see some stuff on what you do with your field based athletes outside of the gym- warmups, mobility, sprint conditioning, agility etc.
I love the videos. Thanks Mike What do you consider to be the top progression for the leg curl movement apologies I couldn’t hear. In my mind it was a weighted glute ham raise (just for the record - I can’t do these!) Blog/video idea - cardio exercises that focus on hamstrings and glute strengthening to continue to address these weaknesses throughout a program Many thanks
Great one Mike, what reps and sets do you apply when you perform the eccentric phase ? In which part of the exercise training program is best to incorporate the ValSlide Leg Curl ? And when do we know when our client is ready to do the exercise ( the eccentric and concentric phase too) ? Thank you
George - I will generally do 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps, depends on the eccentric tempo. I use it towards the end of a program - it's definitely not a "main" lift. As far as when someone is ready, it really depends on the client/athlete
Did you try the negative? You can play with the time under tension. Start short and progress as it becomes easy. A swiss ball leg curl is easier so you can start with that as an option.
The best exercise to youtube. Thank you.

I can’t even do one of these without severe cramping out. Wth
This is really common early-on. It might just take some time for your hamstrings to get used to being in this position

great exercise but my HS cramp. What is a progression so I can do this and prevent the cramp?

@@fitnessqanda Thanks and ball curls are really to easy...but need to go back to single leg
Yep, I like just the negative as well with a decreased ROM
@@RobTrainSystems OK....Negative is where you can more strengthen..eccentric vs concentric. Thanks!
@@TomGibson7777TG While a little cumbersome resistance bands add difficulty to ball curls if the single leg version is too difficult.
Wow. Very sophisticated piece of equipment.
Sometimes simpler is better my friend!
