BENEFITS OF USING A PLATE LOADED NORDIC CURL BENCH
1. Increased Hamstring Strength
The primary benefit of the Nordic curl is building hamstring strength. This exercise works the hamstrings through their full range of motion, especially in the eccentric phase (lowering). The plate-loaded bench allows for easier progression as you can adjust the weight by adding or removing plates, increasing the intensity of the exercise.
2. Improved Hamstring Activation
The design of the bench helps you maintain proper positioning during the exercise, which can lead to better hamstring activation. It isolates the hamstrings and reduces the involvement of other muscle groups, allowing for targeted growth and strength development.
3. Reduced Risk of Injury
Hamstring injuries are common in athletes, particularly in sports that involve sprinting, jumping, or quick direction changes. Regular use of the Nordic curl can help prevent these injuries by improving the strength and elasticity of the hamstrings. The plate-loaded bench can also help you gradually increase intensity, reducing the risk of overtraining or injury from trying to perform the movement without adequate strength.
4. Better Control and Stability
Using the bench provides added stability, which helps with control during the movement, especially as you work to lower your body under tension. This support makes the exercise more accessible to individuals who might struggle to perform Nordic curls on the floor, which require significant core strength and balance.
5. Progressive Resistance
The ability to load the exercise with weight makes the Nordic curl bench suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. Beginners can start with bodyweight and gradually add weight as they progress, which allows for continuous strength and muscle development.
6. Improved Knee Health
The eccentric contraction of the hamstrings in the Nordic curl can also help improve knee stability and health by strengthening the muscles around the knee joint, potentially reducing the risk of injuries or imbalances in the lower body.
7. Enhanced Core Activation
Although the Nordic curl primarily targets the hamstrings, it also engages the core, especially the glutes and lower back, to help stabilize the body throughout the movement. This added benefit helps with overall lower body stability.
8. Time Efficiency
The plate-loaded Nordic curl bench allows you to perform a highly effective, specialized movement without needing a spotter or additional equipment. It’s a time-efficient way to strengthen the hamstrings in a controlled environment.
9. Versatility
While the Nordic curl is the primary movement, you can adjust the setup to work different angles, modify the weight, or even perform variations to target different areas of the hamstring and lower body. This flexibility can help you avoid plateaus and continue progressing.
10. Convenience
With a plate-loaded bench, you don’t need to worry about finding a partner or using the floor space for Nordic curls. The bench holds your feet securely in place, making it easier to perform the exercise, and it’s more accessible for individuals who may not yet have the strength to do a full Nordic curl without assistance.
