mrbear666 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 yeh its probably cuz i dont normally train 2days in a row, nevermind mirror doesnt lie haha i did a set of leg press in the gym a while back, i did 127 reps of 100kg for a bet its a leg press where you press horizontally tho not up on an angle. so i guess my home workouts are medium reps?

vegan_rossco Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Haha well I don't think I could physically do 100+reps of anything! I did quite high rep leg extensions after squats and felt like my legs were on fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have grown to love the leg extension.... call me crazy and I love that burn you get from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have grown to love the leg extension.... call me crazy and I love that burn you get from them!I really like them as a warmup and/or pre-exhaust movement. Great exercise to do before you squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I actually do them now on quad day twice! As a warm up and then the last thing I do to kinda burn them out. Need to start isolating my legs when I do them as the finisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to start isolating my legs when I do them as the finisherYep, nice exercise to finish them. Personally it's an exercise I would use with higher reps, as low reps with very heavy weight can tend to put a lot of pressure on the knees.

Mini Forklift Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Two wheels a side is a big step up. How do you feel as you got ready to bench that weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 yeh it looks good with big plates on! i wasnt that confident really, but ive started trying to block out thoughts about the weight and how heavy it is, rather than thinking 'right this is heavy lets try and lift it' i sorta just put the weight on and ignore the thoughts. i think "got the life" by korn at deafening volume helped too haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
