Did these Monday and my knees are sore...

I've seen and talked to a lot of PT professionals and trainers and they say that leg extensions are one of the worst movements for your body. They place an inordinate amount of pressure on the tendons and ligaments, especially lowering the weight.

Replace them with hack squats if you have the machine at your gym.

my left knee has been flabby lately? is there any correlation to riding a bike and causing knee problems?

i never had any knee problems before riding a bike extensively the past 1.5 year

Quit leg extensions.

Made all the difference in my knee

Hell yeah. I tossed those in the bushes during Physical Therapy a few years ago. My PT explained how that motion basically presses right on your knees and that she's personally had over a dozen clients return to her after second surgeries due to them tearing or re-tearing their ACL's/ ACL reconstructed grafts completely off from that machine.

Thanks. I was having soreness in my knee after every leg day. Yesterday on my leg day I cut the extensions and my knee feels perfectly fine, and that was the only thing I changed in my routine.

No more leg extensions for me. I learned something today This whole time I thought it was the ATG squats giving me slight pain
