Favor higher reps when performing seated leg extensions. The key is constant tension: use a moderate weight, go up to a soft lock at the top (not a full lockout), and don’t let the weight plates touch at the bottom. Keep the movement smooth and fluid, and push through the burn as much as possible. On the final rep, hold the top position for as long as you can. You’ll be limping after this one!
Right now, training during this COVID-19 period is uncharted territory. Some people will get into fantastic shape if they have a well-equipped home gym, while others may struggle to maintain their gains. If you don’t have access to a leg extension machine or other gym equipment, try some of the exercises shown in On The Road To Inactivity: How To Exercise Your Right To Travel.
No matter what, stay positive and stay active. We’ll get through this!
The 70-Degree Incline Swiss Bar Press: A Safer Way to Build Strength
A neutral-grip Swiss bar is shoulder-friendly, but the setup can get awkward fast. Using a 70-degree incline bench keeps the press strong, controlled, and easier to clear without excessive leaning.
Hanging Garhammer Raise
The hanging Garhammer raise puts the lower abs in the spotlight while reducing the hip-flexor takeover common in many hanging leg-raise variations. Start from the floor if needed, then earn the hanging version.
Radial and Ulnar Flexion
Radial and ulnar flexion are not glamorous, but balanced wrists and forearms need more than curls and extensions. These neglected movement patterns deserve periodic programming.
