Slider Leg Curl

The slider leg curl uses furniture sliders or socks on a smooth floor to create a challenging hamstring curl from a bridge position. Lie on your back, place your heels on sliders, bridge up, then curl your heels toward your glutes against the friction.

How to Perform

1

Lie face up with your heels on sliders and arms at your sides for stability.

2

Bridge your hips up so your body forms a straight line from shoulders to heels.

3

Curl both heels toward your glutes while keeping your hips elevated.

4

Extend your legs back out slowly — the eccentric is where the real work happens.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Letting the hips drop as you extend the legs, turning it into a glute bridge.

Curling too fast and losing control during the eccentric extension.

Not lifting the hips high enough to create a straight body line at the start.
