seiyafan Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Could someone tell me what's the difference between natural leg curl and GHR, I know one is a lot harder than the other but from the description in the book I can't tell much of their difference. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Hahn Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 NLC consists of going down to the floor and then back up. GHR consists of going down to parallel with floor, and then allowing the hips to hinge and the upper body to continue down to the end of the rep. Basic difference is that GHR can be done with momentum (by swinging up through the first half of the movement until the body is in a straight line parallel with the floor) whereas the NLC can also use momentum, but much less so. NLC is easier to set up with less equipment options. Anybody else can chime in and clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiyafan Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 so it's like for NLC one is allowed to bend at hips, where as GHR the entire body from head to knee is one flat piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Chubb Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 so it's like for NLC one is allowed to bend at hips, where as GHR the entire body from head to knee is one flat piece. Other way around. The GHR bends a the knee and the hip. Done correctly, at the bottom of the movement, the hip and torso will straighten out then the body above the knee will rise.
