What does kneeling change about the curl?

Is a kneeling leg curl different from a lying leg curl? The movement is the same curl; your body position is what changes. Kneeling suits lifters who dislike lying face down, while a lying machine suits those who want to be flat and braced on a pad.

Where the curl sits next to extensions in a program is explained in our leg extension versus leg curl comparison.

Curl only, or curl and extension?

Choose this machine when hamstrings are the priority and you have room for a single-purpose machine. If you also want leg extensions on the same frame, the APE Leg Extension & Curl puts both in one footprint.

What are the APE KLC specifications?

Specifications for the APE Lateral Kneeling Leg Curl, SKU KLC:

Converted from the manufacturer's metric figures.

The supplier lists the three size figures without naming length, width or height, so read them as outer limits, not a floor plan.

Who is this kneeling curl for?

A good match if you:

• Want a dedicated hamstring station
• Prefer kneeling to lying face down
• Have room for a single-purpose machine

Better to skip if you:

• Want extensions and curls on one frame
• Need two stations running at once
• Have a tight route for a wide package

The shipping package is a wide, flat square, so check corner turns and stairwells as well as doorway width before you order.

What should you know about delivery and returns?

Shipping is free on all APE equipment. Before delivery day, walk the route from your door to the training floor and measure each doorway and turn. APE imports ship in 45 to 60 days, so order well ahead of any opening date or training block.

Freight trucks, liftgates and delivery windows are explained in our freight shipping guide.

You have 30 days from purchase to return the machine with a receipt or proof of purchase, provided it is working, undamaged, and in its original packaging; a damaged or incomplete return may be refunded only in part. A 25% restocking fee applies; you cover return shipping; equipment used beyond testing can't come back; and custom imported items are final sale with their warranty still in force. Cancelling before shipment costs 2.5%, as our shipping and returns policy explains.

The machine carries its manufacturer's warranty. If something isn't working after delivery, call us and we'll work with you to put it right under that warranty.

Kneeling Leg Curl Questions

How do you use a kneeling leg curl machine?

Kneel as the pads direct and brace your torso. Curl your heels toward your glutes, pause briefly, then lower under control. Pick a load you can move without swinging your hips.

What muscles does a kneeling leg curl work?

The hamstrings do the main work, with the calves assisting. Your glutes and trunk hold you steady while you curl.

Are leg curl machines bad for your knees?

Not automatically. Comfort depends on load, range and your own history, so start light and move through a range you can control. If you have knee pain, ask a qualified clinician first.

What are the benefits of a kneeling leg curl?

It isolates the hamstrings through knee flexion, which squats and deadlifts train only in part. The kneeling position also suits lifters who dislike lying prone.

What is an alternative to a kneeling leg curl?

Lying and seated leg curl machines cover the same movement. Nordic curls and slider curls need no machine but are harder to scale.
