The Best Leverage Machine Exercises

Top Exercises

Lever Seated Leg Curl

Beginner / Leverage Machine / Hamstrings / pull

A primary hamstring isolation exercise. The seated position keeps the hamstrings in a slightly stretched position, leading to a powerful contraction.

Lever Preacher Curl

Beginner / Leverage Machine / Biceps / pull

An isolation exercise for the biceps brachii. The angled pad eliminates the use of momentum, forcing the biceps to work through a full range of motion.

Lever Lying Single Leg Curl

Intermediate / Leverage Machine / Hamstrings / pull

A unilateral version of the lying leg curl. It is excellent for correcting hamstring imbalances and improving mind-muscle connection.

Lever Biceps Curl

Beginner / Leverage Machine / Biceps / pull

An isolation exercise for the biceps. The lever machine ensures constant tension and prevents the use of momentum often seen with dumbbells.

Assisted Parallel Close Grip Pull-Up

Beginner / Leverage Machine / Back / pull

Targets the lats, rhomboids, and brachialis. The neutral grip is easier on the shoulders and emphasizes mid-back thickness.

Assisted Close-Grip Underhand Chin-Up

Beginner / Leverage Machine / Back / isolation

A pull-up variation targeting the lats and biceps. The assistance allows for perfect form and a full range of motion.

A comprehensive core exercise that targets the entire abdominal wall by providing resistance for both the upper and lower torso.

Lever Pec Deck Fly

A chest isolation exercise that emphasizes the sternal head of the pectoralis major. The lever provides constant tension and a powerful peak contraction.

Lever Seated Crunch
