Nordic Curl
The nordic curl is a hamstrings leg curl done with bodyweight only. It also works the glutes. On weyt.ai it counts toward Balance as Hamstrings (minimum 6 sets per 30 days) and toward Gains at an effective load of 50% of your bodyweight per rep, plus any added weight.

How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Hamstrings group, which needs at least 6 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Gains: load-scored with a bodyweight factor of 0.5. Each rep counts as 50% of your bodyweight plus any added weight, so it earns volume, e1RM and PR credit like a loaded lift.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is deterministic code, not AI: the same sets always give the same Weyt Score. Read the method on the about page.
