How to perform it

Adjust the cable machine so that the ankle straps are at the lowest setting. Lie face down on the bench with your legs extended and the ankle straps attached to your feet. Hold onto the handles of the bench for stability. Bend your knees and curl your legs towards your glutes, squeezing your hamstrings. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
