Leg curls are also a great way to warm up the knees! Squats and leg presses feel smooth like butter after starting leg day with leg curls.

Watching Dr Mike gives my third leg great stimulus

[@baseballstream174]

Can confirm. I did hams before squats once and I figured I would move less weight but it was the same and it felt better actually

[@pauldyson8098]

Mountain Dog approved, too!

[@mattc5647]

This is good to know I also always do leg curls last because they aren't very fatiguing. Im gonna switch it up next leg day.

I thought he was in a wheel Chair at 1st

Always dude. Don't need hams to squat, get the knees nice and warm

[@JimmyRay7159]

I did the sitting hamstrings workout you gave a guy in another video. Super slow negative, powerful positive, it had my hams burning like never before and a hell of a pump , then hacks , then SLDL , then leg press super slow negatives on all. Man it was awesome and im 65 years old and still love leg day

[@nicholasbaker2904]

Are you sitting in a wheel chair? That is a hard ass leg day if they gotta wheel you out after.

[@Keepgoing9919]

John meadows taught me this: leg curls warm up the knees and the hamstring pump helps you “bounce” back up from the bottom of your squat/leg press movement, whatever that may be

[@tomturbuckle0076]

With hams as stiff as marble leg curls as a warm up has greatly helped me complete squats especially if I have not been to the gym in awhile.

[@nouchdaniro]

started doing hams first a few months back and it was a game changer. my legs are primed and ready afterwards. squats/presses feel much better & stable shout out Will Tennyson

[@yanwain9454]

i find that doing leg curls first reduces the weird sounds from my knees

[@Saundersstrong]

I concur, I have leg curls and SLDL’S placed at the end of my leg routine and I find I can’t train them as hard as my quads. Going to try doing them first .

[@RoidfreeSenior]

Other folks have suggested this as a good warmup before squats, leg press or other heavy leg stuff

RIP John

[@jerrelCbanks]

I do leg curls and hip Abductors and adductors before squats, sometimes even hip thrusts as well. Always have a better squat day because of it. One day me and my gym partner tried to skip them and went straight into squats and man let me just say we wont be skipping leg curls and abductors ever again before squats 😂

Man’s looks like he’s sitting in a barbers chair ready to get glossed up.

[@ParvParashar]

I started implementing this recently in my lower body training days after watching many Dr. Mike training videos where he does leg curls as the first movement on leg day and has other lifters doing the same a lot of times and I’ve to say that this is excellent advice. I really appreciate it! 💪👍🙏
