I'm confused about the hate the leg extension gets, understandably, doing them stupidly heavy would lead to stupid results, however, high repetitions and concentrating on contraction is a Saint.
The thing is, the older I get the worse my knees are due to past mistakes that are resulting in arthritis even at 31 years old however with that being said I train at home and normally do squats but it's now apparent that these are bothering me now which even light weights are too.
I've had my form checked and everything is fine, it's just appearing the arthritis doesn't like it lol, but what doesn't hurt is leg extensions/leg Curls.
So why all the hate for leg extension when done properly target all the musculature in the quad? I understand that the squat is the king and I'd be the first to agree to this too.
So who else exclusively doesn't squat or instead does extensions?
