    Sets and Reps for Leg Extensions

    Trying to grow quads with squats and leg extensions. Squat routine is going great but leg extensions suck. I’m currently doing 8 working sets of 9 reps at 40 Kg for leg extensions but seem to have plateaued. Should I go heavier for less sets and reps or back off weight and up reps and sets?

    Review - Inov-8 Fastlift 335

    So I got these shoes recently and thought I'd share my opinion. Unboxing - initial thoughts were that they look tiny. Admittedly I am only a size 9US (so these are an 8UK) but they looked smaller than all my other shoes and I thought they wouldn't fit but they're spot on. Build quality looks...

    Hey everyone, I'd love to get your input on what you think the best exercise is for targeting quad development. Now, before you all yell "SQUAT!", let's assume that you've gone and injured yourself a bit and you're not allowed/can't squat to parallel for a while. So it's partial squats or...
