    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?

    So Grunta is having a few issues. Maybe it's related to his high blood pressure. Help a brother out. I'm guessing he needs to cut the booze. Better eating. Probably do a bit more training, maybe full body workouts, maybe more cardio.
