@thegameksk Be sure to warm up for about 1 to 2 sets of at about 60% of working weight so if your goal is to do 3 sets of 12 at 100lbs warm up some with about 50-60 lbs untill you are warm, I like to get a on a tread mill or elliptical for about 15 mins before I do heavy legs.

[hghgsssssssfdddddddd]

@thegameksk Most likely because you are locking your knees at one point, avoid this at all costs.

[thegameksk]

Sometimes when I do these I have pain in my knee. Any idea why this is and how I can avoid it?

@curiosity55 it means he farted so loud because the weights were heavy.

[curiosity55]

Check Vic's best leg workout video and look at 3:43 it shows what locking knees looks like

[curiosity55]

Huh how do you fart like hell?

[ulkord]

@supercooled no and here is why(training basics) : so it sounds logic from your viewpoint BUT factor in overtraining. they constantly use their mouths so it cant rest ... atm i am thinking about whether you can actually get sore jaw muscles and a muscular jaw .. lol

[ulkord]

with "locking the joint" does that mean to not fully extend your legs?

[TheAffiliateAron]

I used to do this exercise and I decided to add it back in once every two weeks, thanks for the video

DIdn't realize the polarized anatomy of the leg and arm muscles. I can barely bench press 150lbs but to hear people say you can do 2-3x your weight in leg presses astounds me.
