Hamstring Death Drops with Lauren Kern

Wanna blast your hammies? Negative hamstring curls are one of my favorite closing exercises to a BIG leg routine. I like to wrap-up with 3-4 sets of 4-8 reps.

For beginners: start by kneeling on the ground (using an ab-mat or something soft for your knees). Have a friend hold down your ankles, and push your upper-body off from a bosu ball.

For more advanced lifters: tuck your ankles under the seat of a seated calf-raise machine. Place an airex pad under your knees for cushion and better leverage. Load at least 2 plates onto the calf raise machine to avoid taking the machine down with you. Decrease “push-off” box height for maximal effort and efficiency.
