Vortex Kneeling Leg Curl - Plate Loaded

Kneeling Leg Curl Plate-Loaded Machine — Vortex Series

Standing Hamstring Curl | Independent Arms | 3mm Steel Frame | 186kg Build | Model BL12

The kneeling curl trains the hamstrings the way they work in the real world - hip extended, one leg at a time. Knee on the pad, chest braced, you curl each leg against its own independent plate-loaded arm, so the hamstring gets a full stretch at the bottom and a hard contraction at the top with the hip locked out the whole way.

Cushioned kneeling and chest pads keep you stable through the curl, premium pivot bearings keep the resistance controlled, and the whole station sits on a space-efficient footprint for a 186kg frame of 3mm commercial steel.

Key Features

• Kneeling, hip-extended curl — strict hamstring work with the hip locked out through the full range
• Independent arms — unilateral or bilateral curls to correct muscular imbalances
• Cushioned kneeling and chest pads — stability and comfort through every rep
• Plate-loaded resistance — Olympic plate horns - precise progressive overload with no stack to outgrow
• Premium pivot bearings — consistent, controlled resistance rep after rep
• 3mm commercial steel frame — 186kg of heavy-gauge steel (measured before painting) on a space-efficient footprint, made to order in 16 frame and 12 upholstery colours

Frequently Asked Questions

Kneeling or prone leg curl - which one?
The prone curl loads both hamstrings together with the hips flat on a bench. The kneeling curl works one leg at a time with the hip extended, which puts the hamstring through a bigger stretch and brings the glute in. Serious floors run both; see the Vortex Prone Leg Curl.

Why independent arms?
Each leg curls its own load, so a dominant side can't carry the other - and single-leg sets are the point of a kneeling curl.

What plates does it take?
Standard Olympic plates - bumpers, rubber-coated or iron. Plates are sold separately.

What pairs with it for legs?
The Vortex Leg Extension - curl for the back of the thigh, extension for the front.

Can I choose my own colours?
Yes - made-to-order units come in your choice of 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours, with logo branding available on request. See the chart above.
