Thera-Band Hamstring Eccentric Closed-Chain Split Squat

Exercise Instructions

Step One

Stand with feet in a staggered stance position, with the targeted hamstring forward of the other leg.

Step Two

Place the band or loop under your forward foot and stretch the band upward until your back is straight. Keep your elbows bent and hands at waist level while slowly bending forward and keeping your knees extended. The band should not have any slack throughout the exercise.

Step Three

Now release the tension in the band by extending your elbows and slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.
