It's the lock out that's the problem. Most people swing their legs violently, butts come flying up off the seat then lock and hold improperly

End up tearing their ACL practically off the bone, especially cats who have had their ACL re-done.

I've recently started doing them again but I keep it relatively low weight, slow tempo, high rep and single leg


If you're not using crazy weight, swinging violently and letting it sit on top of your knee cap like you'll see a lot of people doing you'll be fine

I don't do any leg exercise that isn't a functional movement like a squat, deadlift, or lunge

Because quite frankly, I don't want my thighs to be big and muscular. Finding a nice fitting pair of jeans >>>>>> having some bro complement you on your quads

They will grow proportionally to your upper body just fine with the big compounds.....blowing them up even bigger with isolation exercises is :scusthov:

Arnold's "small" quads >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any modern bodybuilder aesthetically
