Been using Casein protein...upped my protein intake the day b4 and the day of heavy dead-lifting and squatting and feel no CNS fatigue. @Spliff I think it was you who strictly used casein? You ever mix it with whey?

I swear leg press is more uncomfortable for my lower back than actually squatting...Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? I don't see how nikkas leg press all of that then claim they have a sensitive back that prevents them from squatting.

most people who use the leg press let their butt round w/out realizing it. the key to using it properly is controlling the motion at stopping the descent right before you ass actually tucks. most people i see overload the machine, rush the reps, and destroy their backs. i'm not saying that's what you're doing but that's what i see. it's the same w squats, it's never a good idea to go beyond the butt wink, it puts massive stress on your lower back, especially w heavy weight.

Someone was telling me that, but this is even with 2 plates on each side and I use controlled form. My knees hurt when I do the leg extension machine. Might just stick to front/back squats and other free-weight leg exercises.

if you're targeting quads i've always found walking db and bulgarian lunges hit them more directly

Changing the diet around and I bought some canned salmon - What the fukk do I make with it now? Salmon burgers? That's all I can think off.

Compression knee sleeves Come see the light

Walking dumbbell lunges are my new #1 until I decide to start a squat program back up. I went hard at squats for a few months and need a break.

Loving this exercise for a variety of reasons. Single leg training is so dope but so hard at the same time since you have to do double the work
