Description
Standing Leg Curl Machine (150 lb.)
The Standing Leg Curl Machine (150 lb.) is built for focused hamstring training with an efficient, ergonomic movement pattern. Designed for coaches and athletes who demand precision and longevity, this machine allows the user to train one leg at a time while maintaining an upright, aligned posture. The standing position encourages balanced muscle development, improves core engagement, and supports better transfer to sprinting, jumping, and overall lower body power.
By isolating the hamstrings through a smooth, controlled curling motion, this machine helps reduce stress on the lower back while delivering targeted strength work. Because each leg works independently, it becomes easier to identify and correct imbalances, improve symmetry, and build strength that supports performance in sport and tactical environments.
Key Benefits
- Targeted hamstring development: The movement path is designed to isolate the hamstrings through a comfortable and controlled range of motion so the athlete can focus on the working leg without unnecessary involvement from other muscle groups.
- Independent leg training: Single leg work promotes balanced strength between right and left sides, helping reduce compensations and improving overall lower body symmetry.
- Improved stability and posture: Training in a standing position encourages core activation and better posture, reducing the load placed on the lower back during hamstring work.
- Efficient use of space: The compact footprint makes the machine a strong fit for high school weight rooms, collegiate facilities, tactical units, and performance centers where space has to be carefully planned.
Construction and Features
As with all Samson selectorized equipment, the Standing Leg Curl Machine is manufactured in the United States using heavy gauge steel that is built to handle high traffic training environments. Our standard .188 wall tubing creates a rigid, stable frame that stays true under load for years of daily use.
- Heavy gauge steel frame: Thick steel construction provides the strength and stiffness needed for serious training and long term durability in institutional settings.
- Ergonomic pads and roller: The thigh support and ankle roller are shaped to provide secure, comfortable contact while allowing a natural curling motion.
- Smooth mechanics: Industrial grade bearings and a precision pivot system create a fluid motion from start to finish, making the machine accessible to new lifters and reliable for advanced athletes.
- Adjustable components: The thigh pad and roller adjust to match different leg lengths and body types so athletes of varying heights can align the joint and pad correctly for safe, effective training.
- Stable standing platform: A textured standing surface keeps the athlete secure and confident throughout the set, even at higher loads.
- 150 lb selectorized weight stack: The integrated stack allows fast, simple load changes and provides the resistance needed for progressive hamstring development. Larger stacks can be specified as part of a room level solution if needed.
- Durable finish and customization options: A high quality powder coat finish protects the frame and presents a clean, professional look. Upholstery and color options can be aligned with your program’s branding as part of a complete Samson design.
Integrating the Standing Leg Curl Machine in Your Weight Room
The Standing Leg Curl Machine pairs well with your primary lower body lifts and other Samson leg equipment to create a complete development plan for the posterior chain. It is especially valuable in programs that emphasize speed, change of direction, and lower body power, where hamstring strength and resilience play a central role in both performance and injury reduction.
Many coaches choose to place this machine near squat racks, belt squats, and leg curl or extension stations to consolidate lower body training into a single zone. This makes it easier to rotate athletes through exercises efficiently, maintain coaching visibility, and organize training groups during busy sessions.
Related Samson Lower Body Equipment
For a more complete lower body training setup, many facilities combine the Standing Leg Curl Machine with other Samson leg and posterior chain solutions, such as:
- Seated Leg Curl/Ext. with ROM (250 lb.) A versatile seated unit that allows both leg curls and extensions from a single station, ideal for building balanced quad and hamstring strength.
- Belt Squat (Plate Loaded) A lower body solution that loads the hips without stressing the spine, making it an excellent complement to hamstring work for athletes returning from back or shoulder issues.
- Bilateral/Unilateral Hip Sled (Plate Loaded) A heavy duty hip sled that supports both bilateral and single leg work for comprehensive lower body strength and power development.
