Execution: Set the back support so that the end of the seat is snug under your knees. Set the padded bar just above your ankles and hook your feet under the padded bar. From a seated position, curl the weight up under control, extending your legs out as far you can. Squeeze at the peak contraction before lowering the weight slowly to the start position. Make sure to keep yourself from lifting off the bench as you work through your set.
