The leg extension exercise builds quad strength and size by targeting your front thighs. It's perfect for adding muscle and getting stronger legs.
1. Sit on the leg extension machine with your back flat against the pad and adjust the leg pad to rest on your lower shins just above your ankles. 2. Grip the side handles and keep your core tight as you slowly extend your legs up until they're straight but not locked out. 3. Squeeze your quads hard at the top of the leg extension movement and hold for one second. 4. Lower the weight back down with control until your knees are bent at about 90 degrees during your leg extension. 5. Repeat the movement for your target reps while keeping tension on your quads the entire time.
• Keep your back pressed against the pad throughout the entire leg extension to avoid lower back stress. • Don't lock your knees completely at the top - stop just short to protect your joints. • Control the weight on the way down during your leg extension rather than letting it drop. • Keep your toes pointed straight ahead and don't let your knees cave inward.
• Using too much weight on the leg extension machine which leads to swinging and poor form. • Extending too fast and slamming the weight at the top which can hurt your knees. • Not going through the full range of motion during your leg extension reps.
