Re: Gusto's Journal

Lol I'm in a perpetual state of leg soreness. Those leg presses killed today.

i feel your pain on that one man. mine are just now where i am not completely miserable but they still hurt haha. banded leg presses for high reps are not a good idea followed by high rep heavy squats

Banded leg presses?? Is that where you put a band around your knee to force the blood up into the thigh??
