Slant Board Guy Nordic Hamstring Curl Strap

Product Information

I’ve also been told the forthcoming version of this Nordic bench will have a pole attachment at the rear which will allow you to do band assisted Nordics, making regressions even easier! As Nordic Walking poles effectively ‘extend the arms’ to enable the walker to use ‘all fours’ it is vitally important that they are the correct length. If a four legged animal had front legs that were too long or short it would affect their ability to move well and it’s the same for Nordic walkers too. Whilst fixed length poles are usually a cheaper option and much is written about how they vibrate less, we do not advise a beginner to choose them as most people need to adjust the poles after a few weeks of Nordic Walking. This is because their range of movement and posture improves. Fixed length poles also only come in increments of 5 cms and it is not uncommon to see how an adjustment of 1 – 2 cms can make a difference to a walkers comfort and performance. At NWUK we always advise adjustable poles unless you are CERTAIN that the length is correct for you. I spent a full day browsing through each of the available options on the market and read every review of each different product to get a feel for which straps people had good experiences with. Even if you just like having the best equipment for you home gym, this option isn’t much more expensive than TBG’s hybrid bench!

As the poles are planted at an angle, another key feature of a Nordic walking pole will be a removable rubber ‘paw’ for use on hard surfaces which is also angled to accommodate this action – see here for Nordic Walking pawsIf you’re fairly new to Nordic curls, and don’t want to spend so much cash, by far the best option is going to be the TBG Nordic weight bench, as it allows you to practice Nordic regressions super easily. Top of the range poles which contain quality carbon sections and additional features such as the unique adjustment on these micro trail poles which remain joined when broken down This is because you don’t need to add boxes/plates to act as chest support (as you do with FAE Nordic Mini bench). ADJUSTABLE Nordic walking poles typically come in either two or three pieces. A 2 piece pole will usually have the adjustment in the centre of the pole shaft where the 2 sections are joined although it is possible to buy EXTENDABLE poles where the adjustment is closer to the handle section – this is because there will be less vibration if the lower section of the pole is in one solid section. A more typical way for the straps to attach to pole is known as the ‘trigger mechanism’ this is a small plastic clip which slots into the side of the pole handle-see picture below
