    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?

Before I started lifting when I...

    Fasting, Good, Bad or Ugly?

    Does anyone follow some sort of Fasting Routine?? Intermitted Fasting, Water Fasting, Dry Fasting, Long Term Fasting, Snake Diet Fasting etc? Why? Why Not? How will fasting affect the 'protein window' and muscle gains in general? Will it send your muscles wasting away?
