REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Light Jefferson curl from blocks

These steps are written specifically for the Light Jefferson curl from blocks. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Light Jefferson curl from blocks. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Tuck the chin and slowly round down one spinal segment at a time, letting the weight move toward the feet.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Start from the blocks so the first rep begins inside a range you can own.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Stop at a comfortable controlled depth, then reverse the sequence smoothly from the low back to the head. Use a range you can reverse smoothly.

Light Jefferson curl from blocks is a regression of Jefferson Curl. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The spine and posterior chain move gradually into flexion under intentionally light load, making control—not weight—the progression target.
