Hi Old Navy, I was wondering if your Machine Leg Curls and Leg Extensions are the seated type of the type where you lay prone? Thank you!

We have two types of seated leg extensions, one type of seated leg curls and one type prone leg curls machine at my YMCA. I mix it up and use all types. I adjust the weight loads accordingly. I also do smith machine lunges and walking dumb bell lunges. I do the same thing when I’m training clients. I believe in variety in equipment, in reps, in weight loads and in sets. Keeps it interesting.

Thank you Old Navy. I am finding the seated leg curl machine quite awkward now that my weight is increasing- my yoga pants slide on the seat etc. I just can’t imagine being able to use #120 like you do and not have to totally arch my back. I was just very curious that.

I also believe in variety- the experts say that is what increases bone mass the most- attacking it from a variety of angles etc.

Thanx again :slight_smile:

Hi Scott, I think I see a pattern wrt your workout and it is really interesting! I see how you are increasing the weight! The day of 1x20 is very interesting. Thank you for posting. I can relate to your routine.
