Do seated leg curls on this target your leg biceps well? Proper muscular failure in belly of muscle w/out joint stress?

Not sure what a "leg bicep" is, but the machine works well on the hamstrings in the seated leg curl position. And it works well for quadriceps in the extension position as well. My wife is the primary user of this machine and has not noticed any stress to the joints.

I have never used this item for lower body. I use it to exercise an arm that requires motion in the joints to keep it from locking up. I love it because it is a well-made, sturdy piece of equipment and it folds for convenient storage.

Yes, you can do whatever you want with it--I threw it out. I've been doing curls for about 50 years and never needed this device to help me. Also, with heavy weights (at my age I just do reps) the thin strap will dig into your neck. Once you wrap a towel around it, that should help. Don't let the picture fool you LOL.

Yes, there is absolutely no strain on abdominal muscles. It is mostly for your legs, cardio vascular and perhaps the back somewhat.

I really did like it too! I bought the Kendall Shiatsu leg massager and have been satisfied with it. A lot of stress was in my calves and it actually helped more!

Yes, the leg Extension doubles as a seated leg curl. You just adjust the "pull-pins" to change the setting. You can view this on the BodySolid website under the G10B images.

Yes. I use it behind my knees and my outer thighs and I've had a good result with leg cramps.

I feel like it worked for me pulling my shoulders back and strengthening my postures muscles. The first day or so my muscles were sore, after that I got used to wearing it the whole day. Give a try, if it doesn't work for you then just return it. Just one note, is if you like sitting where you are leaning against the backrest, wearing this will not work and it would be worse than not wearing it at all because the sandbag in the back will pin all the pressure in one area in your back. It's meant for you to wear sitting straight up, without lying against any backrest.

Well that depends on whether you are trying to work the abdominal area or something else. The peice of equipment works for the lower mid and obliqe portion of the ab area. It dosent work like gravity boots its designed for arms not feet and legs.

Not for me when it comes to curls. They only make it awkward to do bench and incline bench presses until you have them filled up with weight. I like to heave them up from my knee when I lay back on the bench. It's hard to do that when there is a few inches of threaded rod sticking out.

I don't know because I don't use preacher curls. I am sure you know more than me but that particular exercise can cause long term damage to your elbow ligaments/joints because even though it isolates your muscles, it also isolates your joint as well.

I've used elbows at 90 degrees, with forearms parallel to the ground. This has worked well for me.

There is an accompanying brochure with various positions, and they claim to work on core, but I use only those that I like and it involves only arms - triceps and biceps.For me the core exercises with flexibar are not that effective, as, say, Pilates.

Yes for sure. You can do just a slight angle which I recommend to start with. I started at a pretty good angle and it made my legs really sore. I think I stretched the muslces out too far too fast. Believe it or not, just a slight angle for just 30-40 seconds does have an effect. You may not feel it right away but trust me, it's working!!!! I found that out the hard way! Hope this helps.

I honestly think it can because before I bought it I hesitated whether it is made of hard or soft material. When I got it I was really happy. It does the work effectively. If you do bicep curl, you should fasten it little up close to lower part of palm, that might solve your problem. However, I bought it for some bench and shoulder press

As you adjust the resistance for the arms you will also find it more difficult to straighten the legs. Its a very good total body workout and great for exercising when viewing at home media.
