The natural leg extension, more commonly and ridiculously know as a “reverse Nordic curl” — the name of an exercise should be descriptive but even if the term “Nordic” did describe the exercise, surely you'd just call it a “Nordic extension”? I would do them on the floor like everybody else but I do band-assisted natural leg extensions for my warm-up and final working sets (swipe to second video) and when I perform them on the bench, the tension on the band is just right when I loop it around the top of the power rack. Even when you're strong and flexible, the range of motion of natural leg extensions is limited so if you've never done them before, I think you'll get more out of the exercise and progress faster if you use bands to do multiple reps with near full ROM to start with. #naturallegextension #naturallegextensions #reversenordic #reversenordics #reversenordiccurl #reversenordiccurls #bodyweightlegextension #bodyweightlegextensions #legcalisthenics #legtrainingathome #nogymnoproblem #eatlikeyougiveadamn #poweredbyplants #veganfitfam #veganfitness #veganstrength #veganbodybuilding https://www.instagram.com/p/CHP2ZfOp5QP/?igshid=w15epm1q0ubh

Quad exercises... This is a great exercise for training your quads and one of my favourites with footballers and sprint athletes. Sprinting and kicking will load the Rectus Femoris muscle eccentrically over 2 joints (hips and knee) therefore, it is important that the prehab/ rehab program compliments this. Reverse Nordic’s enable you to eccentrically load the Rectus Femoris over 2 joints and this is a go to exercise for me when rehabbing thigh strains. I progress this exercise by introducing resistance through weight plates or bands and increasing knee flexion by raising the ankles with a foam roller.
