The Return of the Leg Curl
When it comes to functional training rarely do people have any kind of leg curl come to mind. I’ll be the first to admit that I fell into the camp of rarely ever doing active knee flexion exercises.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with this, but what needs to be appreciated is that without good hip flexion, we won’t get good hip extension. If you cannot get into hip flexion, you won’t be able to generate
