Combination (hamstring) — additional.
Execution
The seated position puts the hamstring on stretch, covering a different part of its strength curve than the lying curl. Two sets of 10–15; the PR is the total reps across both sets at the same weight (target 20–30).
The cue that matters
Sit tall and curl under the stretch — don't slide the hips forward to shorten it.
Common mistake
Treating it as a duplicate of the lying curl; the value is the stretched position, so own the bottom.
