Substitute for Seated Leg Curls

[jenscats5]

My exercise plan is to include lying leg curls + seated leg curls. However, my gym only has a lying leg curl machine. What can I do instead of the seated leg curls??

ditch them all and do Dimel deads..
not only should men be doing them but especailly women who want to harden/tone up the gluteal area..

dont be afraid just do em light until you get the swing then do 3x15 with te heaviest weight possible for that rep range

these hard to be don in ballistic fashion (which is why i said get the form down first)

heres a vid clip: not the greates i woul make surer to push the butt back more than what this guy is doing..also the concentric is a very hard squeeze of the glutes..its not the low back that is bearing the brunt of the move..

In essence it looks as if you are humping the bar (if youre a male lol)

Kinda looks like a SLDL to me... which I also do....

My trainer wants me doing seated + lying leg curls + SLDLs + other leg stuff on leg day...

its closer to an RDL than a SLDL
the amount of weight you can use on a Dimel will be greater than doing all the iso crap..I dont have a GHR or a rev hyper so i do lots o dimels i also use the seated leg curl machine..my hammies and glutes get hit way harder with dimels thatn all those other exercises..3x15 does the trick once you get the movement down

hmm,

Could you arrange the Lying Leg Curl machine to standing leg curls?

I don't think so....

do have access to training bands? if so, sit on a bench, wrap the bands around something solid and loop the other end around your ankles and mimic a seated leg curl
