This is just ironic.. (rant)

Start rant -

Ok, so at the end of my squat workout thursday I did 3 sets of leg extensions, and the purpose of this was just to get the blood pumping in my quads and to finish em of. At the last set I noticed a sharp pain in my left knee and i ended it there. Didnt think much of it until today when doing cleans and it hurted once i got pasted 225.

The ironic part is that i had 21 squat workouts in february, which is alot. And knees felt great.

Now, doing this crappy excuse for an exercise called leg extensions, i got a minor injury. Knee is swelling up and clicking more than usual as i walk.


So if you ever hear someone complain about that squatting is bad for your knees, please feel free to slap em for me.




End rant-

Strong signature to post ratio. :P haha

I've heard too many people talk about hurt knees after leg extensions...

Swede you're not alone. Ever darn time I get injured it seems to be from a lame isolation experiment.

Heal up.

Agreed and thanks, will do.

Yeah definitely be careful.
My friend recently tore her miniscus cause of that same machine.

It's been months and still hasn't fully healed.
Good luck.

I hate isolation work, I used to get so bored. and if im honest since working with my homemade equipment doing big movements ive seen things change and grow big time.
i might do some tricep,bicep,shoulder,trap, work once a month in isolation terms but i could care less if i didnt do them as they get hit so bad anyway
