Leg Extensions

[FUZO]

Leg Extensions:
Your target zone are your thighs (Quadriceps). Sit on a leg extension machine and place the tops of your feet under the foot pads. With your lower back firmly against the seat, slowly lift your lower legs until your knee joint reach the locked position. Pause for a contraction, then slowly return to the starting position. Leg extensions, ideal for isolating the quads, are an effective warm up for the squats that follow

Re: Leg Extensions

I also like to do banded single leg ext. You take a jump stretch band, loop it around the power rack or any other staionary equipment, have the band directly behind the knee. Back up for desired tension, allow the band to pull your knee forward with out lifting the heel, then lock the leg out. Do this for a couple of sets of 12-20 for a change or for prehab/rehab.
