So leg extensions are a no go?

[unit321]

see mixed reviews on these, tlk to me brehs

It's not useful when you want to build mass, in my opinion.
If you have a physical therapist telling you to do the leg extension to activate the quad muscles at low weight, that's about the most I would use the leg extension machine.

If you insist on doing them don't lock out at the knees

 

[Techniec]

when yall say don't lock out, meaning don't hold it at the top of the movement?

 

[Apollo Creed]

I do light, single leg high rep at the close of my leg workouts. I dont lock out at the top of the range of motion.

What is light weight?

 

[Formerly known as...]

I think they are a great move for quad development...do them properly and don't add to much weight.

I use it for warm up... get some blood flowin preparation before squats,deadlifts

Yea, I think these are bush status now, I tweeked something in my right knee doing these, shyt had my whole vastus laterilis hurting at one point

Couldn't go below parallel, had to take a week off from legs and wear a brace. Feels better know, but squatting too low still causes some discomfort.

leg extensions.
