    Question Leg curl alternative?

    I've been looking at the 4-way splits suggested by Brit-Beef and wanted to try them out

    The trouble is that I workout at home and the only equipment I have is a bench and leg extension so I can't do leg curls.

    Anybody know an alternative I can do? I've looked at sites but can't find any.

    Thanks for any help

    Just tried the SLDL for the first time, I used little weight because I want my form to be right before I start loading the weight on. But I don't think I was doing it right because I feel couldn't much happening around the hams, but I could feel action in the calves. I'll have to work on that.

    One thing that helps is to do the SLDL's while standing on a platform or box. Otherwise, especially if you're using 45's, the barbell plates will hit the floor, making it impossible to go any lower, before you've gotten a full stretch. That will diminish the value of the exercise.

    I know what you mean. I don't really feel any stress or anything on my hams when doing these, but trust me, they will be sore the next day if you do them right. In fact, I often have a hard time walking up or down stairs after these even though I don't really feel as though my hams are tired or anything.

    Bump on the Romanian deads. I thought I was doing SLDLs but it turns out I was doing Romanian deads. You will definitely feel it your hams if you do this.

    IMO, leg curls should be an alternative to these!!!!!!

    [B]lets say ronnie is a pepperoni and sausage pizza

    The crust is thick and firm, not too soft not too hard, just right to chew the cheese is thick and gooey but not sloppy and no oil pools the pepperonis and sausage bits are perfectly evenly spaced out and taste great the sauce is full of flavor and a perfect blend of tomato and spices
    but, covering the middle of the pizza in a circle that takes up half the pizza
    is a giant turd. Will you eat the pizza? or will you pick a pizza that has everything together even tho its not as amazing as the first pizza, because unlike the first pizza it has no turd on it
    a distended gut on an otherwise amazing phisique is like a giant turd on an otherwise perfect pizza [/B][/QUOTE]
