The Leg Curl Laying on your stomach on the leg curl machine, wrap your legs around the bar you will be curling. You will probably need considerably less weight than on the leg extensions. Curl your legs up and back down again. Use heavier weight for strength training. As we have covered, size is generally achieved with less weight and more repetitions.
Strength is accomplished with heavier weight and fewer reps.
Stick to the appropriate program if you only wish to train for the one or the other. If you would like to train for size and strength, or if you would like to blast past sticking points, here is what you can do. Train for 3-6 months for the one, then switch to training for an equal period with the other being the goal. You might for example train exclusively for size for 3 months, then switch and train exclusively for strength for the next 3 months. Inc.
