garbage article IMO.

especially as it links to another article about "best" exercises which includes one of the ones mentioned as "to be avoided".

[Nikonguy]

brb: writing "100 exercises you should not do with bad form or for the wrong reasons".

Seated leg extension: the editors of women's health are fuktards who have obviously never had knee problems. Listen up, you stupid biatches: you can't squat when your knees are hosed up. Leg extensions (and curls) are the most effective thing I've found to help my knees recooperate.

Anytime I read "you must" or "you can't", I stop reading. Show by example, and if I like your results, I'll consider it.

I have had 3 rounds of surgery on my knees, one was a major reconstruction. I go heavy with the leg extensions and never had any knee pain with them.

I've had one surgery on knees and no problems every with leg extensions.

that being said...

A lot of people in the gym start their extensions with the toes behind the knee thinking they need that extra four inches of movement to really hit the quad. These are the people who are tearing up knees on this equipment.

train smart and safe and suddenly a lot of "dangerous" exercises become pretty benificial

Leg extensions are a big no-no for me, and my ortho forbid me to do them. He told me to squat til the cows come home but avoid the leg extensions like the plague. Which makes sense since that's an odd movement and not at all how we lift or use our legs naturally. I added them in a few months ago when I was doing the QBM workout. My knees ached non-stop.

Every few months or so, someone posts an article about which exercises are "bad" for you. The only exercise I'd say to get rid of is the BTN pulldown (or press, even though it wasn't mentioned). Other than that, you'll get differing opinions on all of these exercises and more.

Personally, I was never a fan of leg extensions so for me, that's out. Hock, no quarters at me, please!

Exercising is bad! Everything you know about nutrition is wrong............

The latest articles state that sitting on your fat azz taking in the following 5 food groups,

Sugar
starch
fat
grease
alcohol

As long as you are taking in your daily allowance while doing nothing all day will help you as to avoid over extend those muscle groups.

6. Roman Chair Back Extension
What it's supposed to do: Train spinal erectors. What it actually does: Repeatedly flexing the back while it's supporting weight places pressure on the spine and increases the risk of damaging your disks.

Ok, so don't be one of those stupid fuking teenagers who hold two 45's to their chest and swing their body up and down like their life depends on it.. Simple.

But as a warmup for DL's, or even something to throw in on a light day there's nothing wrong with extensions at all.

IMO none of these are bad for you. even btn pulldowns(people go to heavy on them and lose form-hence injury)

Fair enough; form rules, FTW.

^^ This. Leg extensions hurt my knees like nothing else. With squats, you've got hamstring activation which helps stabilize the knee joint during the movement -- not so with leg extensions. I actually didn't think the article was as bad as people here are indicating -- I agree with much of what it says.

next thing you know is someone will tell us to avoid training with intensity due to being near sighted







oh yeah



nvm

Look hard enough and it's easy to come up with bull5hit articles claiming every single thing you do or enjoy in life is somehow harmful. I pay exactly 0% attention to anyone claiming such nonsense.

This just goes to show that we're all different. I like extensions because I can do them when I can't squat, and I use them to help get back into squatting.
