hair today gone tomorrow said:I love how most people try to claim that squats...esp. *** to the grass squats are bad for your knees and back....so INSTEAD they do leg extensions...
Too bad heavy weight leg extensions are actually TERRIBLE for your knees and full range squats actually STRENGTHEN your knees.
There are people who use leg extensions as a substitute for squating? :roll:
I personally tend to use leg press as my main exercise when working my thighs and glutes, I prefer it to squats for muscle buidling. I do think squats give you a more total work out but the weight I can use is a lot less. This is one instance where I prefer the machine for mass building. Maybe I should try free weight low squats with lighter weight as a second exercise
