leg curl seated or lying/toes pointed hyperextension

hey Gopro, i've just started doing shock week, but I don't have a lying leg curl machine or a seated leg curl machine at home, are there any exercises that i can use to replace this?

Thanks in advance!

Stiff legged deads is about the only thing I'm aware of if you have no leg curl machine. This will also work your lower back.

Keep your head up somewhat when during the excersize, and dont bounce doing the movement. I usually set the weight down in between each rep for a pause, ab strength will be very important if you want to be able to go heavy on this and maintain form without injury.

Hmmm, that is a tough one. If you have dumbells you can try leg curls on a bench while holding a light dumbell between your feet. If you can do this than I'd do the stiff leg deads first and follow that up with really slow dumbell leg curls.

hey thanks for the reply Mudge and gopro, I'm able to do seated leg curls not laying hyperextended ones, so i'm doing stiff legged deadlifts, followed by seated leg curls now.

That'll do
