This machine kicks butt, literally. Generally speaking, we’re not looking for plate loaded hamstring curls. We would prefer the pin loaded versions. But once we tried this machine, we knew that it had to be in Hercules. It was too good not to be. It’s a remarkable machine for the fact that it doesn’t have any adjustments, it’s one size fits all.  You just hop in and go. And once you start curling, it immediately hits hard. That’s an amazing achievement and the sign of a superior machine. It takes no thinking, no tinkering. Just add the intensity and it will smoke the target muscle. Which in this case is the hamstring way up high near the glute-ham tie in. An important spot for a very important muscle.
