TRX Hamstring Curl
Coaching cues
- Lie supine; heels in the TRX foot cradles; hips bridged off the floor
- Curl the heels toward the glutes while keeping the hips elevated
- Pause at full flexion; roll back out under control — do not drop the hips
- More unstable than a stability ball curl; demands significant hamstring and glute control
Common faults 2
Cradles swing side to side
Unequal hamstring strength causes lateral instability; slow down and control each rep.
