How to perform Assisted Reverse Nordic Curl

  1. Secure a long loop band overhead and hold it at chest height.
  2. Kneel tall with both lower legs supported by the floor and your hips extended.
  3. Keep your torso and thighs aligned as you lean backward around the knees.
  4. Use the band to assist the descent through a range you can control without folding at the hips.
  5. Extend your knees to bring the aligned body back upright, using the band as needed.
  6. Repeat without changing the hip position to shorten the lever.
