Banded leg curl

Sets, reps and RIR

Bands give the least resistance where you are strongest, so chase reps and control, not load.

RIR means reps in reserve: how many you could still have done when you racked it. RIR 2 is two short of failure.

Muscles worked

Primary: Hamstrings.

Secondary: Calves.
