Slideboard Hamstring Curl Variations

These variations were developed in an effort to progress the intensity of an unloaded slideboard hamstring curl for athletes that could easily do sets of 12+. I've also used single-leg variations in the past, but these provide an alternative for athletes that may have mastered the typical double-leg unloaded version, but may not be ready for the single leg variations.

Plate-Loaded Slideboard Hamstring Curl
In my experience, this loading method is relatively effective up to ~45 lbs. After that point, the athlete has to push the plate out to extend the knees and the exercise loses it's eccentric focus.
