Knees and leg curls

:pfft: I wasn't deliberately trying to misinterpret you. Your post addressed me and I responded. Simple. I think you're guilty of your own accusation. Take the Psych 101 analysis and, well, shove it etc.

Just a point I dont think has been raised in this rather interesting discussion, & may be relevant to your knee pain fenriswolf, is to be careful that you dont allow the knees to hyperextend – to bend backwards in the wrong direction once the leg has been straightened at the bottom of the lift. Also its not a good idea to lock out the knees at the top of the curl. There is still a place for curls in your hamstring workout although I agree with others that more compound movements achieve greater benefits, but the hamstrings are a complex group of muscles & should be worked in isolation as well to strengthen them particularly for their role in knee flexion.
