Description
The Movestorm Nord Bench is a compact alternative to Glute Hams Development Machines. Giving a convenient way to perform glute ham raises in any type of training space. One of the most notable benefits of utilising a Nord bench is its ability to target and strengthen the hamstrings. The exercise performed on this bench primarily focuses on the eccentric phase of the hamstring contraction, where the muscle lengthens while under tension. This eccentric loading is crucial for muscle growth and helps prevent injury by creating better muscle balance around the knee joint.
1. Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
Regular use of the Kinta Nordic curl bench not only aids in preventing hamstring injuries but can also be instrumental in rehabilitating existing ones. The eccentric strengthening provided by the bench improves the hamstrings’ overall strength and enhances their flexibility and resilience, reducing the risk of future injuries.
2. Core and Glute Activation
While the Nordic curl is known for targeting the hamstrings, it also significantly engages the core and glute muscles. Performing the exercise requires stabilising the body throughout the movement, which activates and strengthens the core muscles, leading to improved posture and overall stability.
