The abs Company The Nordic Curl™

Nordic Hamstring Curl Machine by The Abs Company

The Nordic Curl™ is a bodyweight Nordic hamstring curl machine from The Abs Company, built for hamstring and glute work. Its patent-pending adjustable chest pad offers 4 levels of adjustment, letting beginners train a shortened range and advanced athletes work up to full range of motion.

What The Nordic Curl™ Does

The Nordic curl loads the hamstring hardest while it is long and lengthening, which is exactly why so few people manage a clean rep on the first attempt. This machine is built around that reality. Its ergonomic design lets you perform the movement leveraging the weight of your body, and The Abs Company describes it as a safe, effective way to strengthen, build, and develop the hamstrings and glutes.

Do you need a machine to do Nordic curls? No. A training partner or a loaded barbell will pin your ankles. A dedicated frame earns its place when you want the same position every session and a repeatable way to make the movement harder. You can see the rest of the Abs Company range if you are outfitting a full posterior-chain area.

Why the 4 Adjustment Levels Matter

The chest pad is the product, not a bonus feature. Review roundups rank Nordic benches on padding, angles, and price—almost none of them tell you how the assistance is regulated, which is the only thing that decides whether you train the movement at all.

Here is how the ladder works:

• Level one shortens the range you must control
• Each step gives you more distance to resist
• You progress by moving a pad, not guessing
• The fourth level is a full range of motion

Because there are 4 fixed levels, progression happens in four clear steps rather than on a continuous dial. Fewer micro-adjustments, but never any doubt about where you are. Can a beginner do a Nordic hamstring curl? Most cannot unassisted. That is the point of starting at level one and earning the next.

Who It Fits and Who It Doesn't

A good fit if you are:

• An athlete chasing eccentric hamstring strength
• A facility adding a posterior-chain station
• A lifter who cannot yet hold a full Nordic
• Working with about 5 ft of clear floor length

Not a fit if you need:

• A weight stack you can dial in by the pound
• One frame that covers several movements
• A published user weight limit before buying
• A budget below the commercial equipment tier

Delivery and Floor Space

The crate is the easy part of this purchase. At 54"L x 26"W x 9"H and 138 lb, it arrives flat and slides through a standard 32-inch interior door with room on either side—unusual for a machine this size. Assembled, it occupies 60 in x 25 in of floor and stands 29 in tall, so it tucks against a wall between sessions instead of dominating the room.

Two people should handle the 125 lb frame during setup. Measure the delivery path first, not the training space—that is where most freight problems start.

Nordic Curl vs. Belt Squat vs. Deadlift

The decision rule is simple: choose the Nordic Curl™ if you want the hamstring trained through knee bend under eccentric load, and choose the DeadLift™ if you want the same muscles trained through the hip hinge with adjustable weight. Serious lower-body rooms run both. Browse the wider squat machine collection to see where each pattern sits.

Nordic Hamstring Curl Machine FAQs

Does this machine work the glutes as well as the hamstrings? The Abs Company states the design strengthens, builds, and develops the hamstrings and glutes. The glutes work to keep the hips extended through the descent, so a sagging hip is the sign the load has shifted off target.

How much resistance can I add? None is listed. The machine leverages the weight of your body, and difficulty is set through the 4 chest pad levels rather than plates or a stack.

Is it suitable for a commercial gym? It carries the Commercial Weight Benches and Commercial Workout Machines tags on this site, and the single-pad adjustment keeps member changeovers quick.

Can I use it if I have had a hamstring injury? Talk to a qualified physician or physical therapist first. Eccentric work at long muscle lengths is demanding, and no equipment page can assess your history for you.

What size is the shipping crate? 54"L x 26"W x 9"H at 138 lb (137 cm x 66 cm x 23 cm, 63 kg).
