http://athleanx.com Let’s face it…you’ve done this leg exercise before. Probably hundreds of times. Ever wonder why it still seems so hard to build bigger legs regardless of how many reps you’ve cranked out on this machine?
I’m talking about Leg Extensions…and if you’re goal in doing them is to get bigger legs…then it’s time to “X” out these knee crushers and start substituting in a closed chain alternative that actually helps to grow your quads quicker.
Knee extensions are the single biggest leg exercise to avoid when you’re putting together your workouts. Again, they don’t really deliver in the “results” department and worse…they wreak havoc on your knees and can give you a lifetime of aches.
Let celebrity fitness trainer Jeff Cavaliere show you a cutting edge alternative that will have you saying goodbye to leg extensions forever by your next workout.
When you’re done watching this, then head to http://athleanx.com to get your hands on a training program that does more than just swap out the dangerous exercises you may be doing for the nondangerous ones…but actually take out the leg exercises that just flat out don’t work for building lean muscle and trade them in for the stuff that flat out does!

@JDCav24 Speaking …
@JDCav24 Speaking of Hamstring curls. I find it nearly impossible to isolate my hamstrings. Or even work them out for that matter. Ive tried many machines, exercises, and dynamic movements, sometimes it works, other times my hamstrings dont get worked. Same with my glutes. Those two muscles are the only muscles on my body I just cant find a solution for. Any tips would be much appreciated.
PS Your videos are awesome. I love the Full Force Forearm workout.

Thanks Jeff, this is quite informative and useful, i dont want to be handicapped when i reach 45, you should do an episode that might talk about all the joints and how people can make mistakes and deteriorate them by doing certain common exercises, or doing them in a wrong fashion. Your video for the squats was good too.

but why do most home gyms have that extension.
Also what should people like me, who dont have access to the ‘low pulleys’ and only have a small home gym system which you were using at the beginning do??
@rgmcall Hamstring …
@rgmcall Hamstring curls done on your stomach are not as harmful on your joints as the knee extension is on your patellofemoral joint, however if you’re training for sport…it’s a terrible exercise as it trains the hamstring in a completely opposite way that it functions during running. Most guys that rely strictly on hamstring curls for hamstring training wind up pulling the muscle. Better choices are single leg RDL’s and eccentric step downs! Jeff
so does this mean …
so does this mean hamstring curls are bad to because it uses knee flexion involved?
THX!!!!
