Start Position: Adjust a leg extension machine or attachment so that the rollers rest just above your ankles. I like to position the bench at a slight incline for a better stretch.
Hold on to the bench or handles on either side.
MidPoint: Raise the weights using quad strength, pausing for a moment at the top. Make sure to keep your butt on the seat throughout the movement. Finish Position: Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position, but begin the next rep without pausing to keep the stress on your thighs. Do 10-15 reps for a set. You can also do these holding a dumbbell between your feet, or one leg at a time on a machine. |
