Hamstring Curl Kit: the Sidea selection

The concept behind the Hamstring Curl Kit stems from a practical need: to train the posterior thigh chain — the hamstrings, glutes and, indirectly, the spinal erectors — using equipment that does not require dedicated isokinetic machines. Sidea has put together a selection centred on the GHD bench and sissy squats, complemented by the GHR roller and its padding made of spare partso. These four pieces of equipment cover a range of exercises, from the Glute-Ham Raise to the back extension, from the Nordic Curl to the sissy squat for the quadriceps, right through to core exercises using abdominal wheels. It is a system found in both professional weight rooms and well-equipped home gyms.

Who is the Hamstring Curl Kit for?

Strength and conditioning coaches working with athletes in sprinting, jumping or team sports will find the GHR to be one of the most effective exercises for preventing injuries to the knee tendons. The Nordic Curl, which can be performed on a GHD bench with the correct padding, is cited in the literature as the standard protocol in the Nordic Hamstring Protocol (Mjølsnes et al., 2004) for reducing the incidence of hamstring injuries.

In CrossFit boxes, the GHD bench is standard equipment: back extensions, GHD sit-ups and hip extensions are movements featured in WOD benchmarks and in preparation programmes. Those who train at a home gym This structured workout offers a compact solution in the kit to target a muscle group that is often overlooked in home set-ups, which tend to focus on pushing movements.

Personal trainers who run small studios often choose this type of equipment for its versatility: a single piece of equipment allows them to work on multiple movement patterns without taking up as much space as a traditional leg curl machine.

How to choose

The first factor to consider is the available space. The GHD 9123 bench is a complete, freestanding unit with adjustments to suit different body types. The 9123K kit adds the GHR 9013/1 roller to the bench, expanding the range of exercises without increasing the floor space required.

If you already have a GHD bench and are just looking for a componentThe GHR Roller 9013/1, which is ideal for abdominal exercises or rolling with core wheels, is available to purchase separately. The 9023/2 padding is the specific replacement part for those who wish to maintain performance over time or adapt comfort levels to intensive use — in gyms with high user turnover, wear and tear on the padding is a real factor that needs to be taken into account.

For those who incorporate this work into protocols for Training Kit Ski - FAST Whether for functional fitness training, the complete kit is the most straightforward choice. For a home gym on a tight budget and with limited space, the single GHD bench is sufficient to cover most of the exercises described.

Always check that the padding is compatible: the 9023/2 model is designed specifically for the GHD Sidea and is not a universal accessory.

Domande frequenti - Hamstring Curl Kit

  • The GHD (Glute-Ham Developer) is a versatile bench that allows you to perform back extensions, GHD sit-ups and hip extensions. The GHR roller is an add-on that enables you to perform the full Glute-Ham Raise, with knee flexion against resistance. The two pieces of equipment complement each other: the Sidea 9123K kit combines them into a single setup.
  • Yes. The GHD bench 9123 allows you to perform the Nordic Curl by securing your ankles beneath the pads and sliding forwards whilst controlling the descent with your thigh muscles. It is based on the same principle as the Nordic Hamstring Protocol, one of the most well-documented protocols for preventing hamstring injuries in team and speed sports.
  • Yes. The GHD sit-up is one of the most intense abdominal exercises that can be performed on this machine, with a range of motion that exceeds that allowed by a standard crunch. It requires a gradual progression, especially for athletes who are not used to working in lumbar hyperextension. The GHR Roller 9013/1 adds further options for core training using abdominal rollers.
  • It depends on the level of use. In a gym with 20–30 users a day who use the GHD bench regularly, replacing the padding every 12–18 months is reasonable. In a home gym with individual use, the padding lasts significantly longer. The 9023/2 Sidea padding is the specific replacement part for this piece of equipment.
  • The GHR roller can be used on its own for abdominal wheel exercises, which do not require an anchor frame. For the full Glute-Ham Raise, however, a system that secures the ankles is required: the GHD bench 9123 is the standard solution in the Sidea kit.
  • The sissy squat places significant strain on the patellar tendon and the quadriceps as they are stretched: it is not a neutral exercise for the knee. Anyone with a history of patellar tendinopathy or meniscus problems should introduce this exercise very gradually and preferably under the supervision of a qualified physiotherapist or sports coach.
