Direct answer: Hamstring training can combine leg curl machines with hip movements, such as Romanian deadlift, as assessed. They are not identical substitutes. The programming needs to consider the function of exercise and the overlap with gluteus and lumbar.
Understand options
Leg curl machines involve knee flexion, while Romanian deadlift organizes a hip movement with trunk control. bench, support and load change between equipment. Coach can combine options to meet the goal without repeating only similar variations.
Avoid load compensation
In the flexor, watch if you remain supported and control the turn. In the hip movement, keep the load close and an amplitude that you can control. If the sets ends by lumbar discomfort or loss of position, send video and review before increasing the load.
Organize with quadriceps and buttocks
The leg program needs to see the whole week. Repeating demanding hip exercises in days to come can affect performance. Aesthetic priority and recovery help decide where to insert later and what movements to maintain.
What to record and discuss
- Identify knee and hip flexion exercises on the record.
- Record the flexor setting.
- Tell us if the limitation comes from the thigh, support or discomfort.
