WESTSIDE INVERSE CURL

Legendary strength coach Louie Simmons has called it “the greatest hamstring developer in the world." Now, Westside Barbell's innovative Inverse Curl Machine is available to order from Rogue. Made in the USA from 4x3" and 3x3” 11-gauge steel, this 605 LB unit is designed to help athletes perform proper glute ham raises (Russian leg curls), with assistance provided in the form of adjustable pad settings and custom weight load options. When used properly, the Inverse Curl works the entire posterior chain, initiating a firing pattern in the lower body muscles that develops greater athletic-oriented strength and explosiveness (be it for throwing, sprinting, jumping, lifting, etc.). It can also help potentially limit the likelihood of common hamstring and ACL injuries, and/or assist those already rehabbing from such injuries. To use the Inverse Curl, the athlete kneels on the flat pad/bench and places their feet against the steel footplate, under either set of adjustable roller pads. The adjustable chest pad is then held in the arms for stabilization as the athlete lowers and raises their upper body, putting the focus of the movement on the hamstrings.
