- In this video, Alex and Sue from Physique Development discuss how to perform the seated machine leg extension exercise. You will learn how to set up, execute, and avoid common mistakes made in the leg extension. Learn how to maximize tension in the quads, avoid knee pain, and progress your strength with this video tutorial.
The Leg Extension often gets a negative view. When performed with control and proper intent, this can be very safe and effective training for adding volume to your quad training.
The key points to maintaining control within this movement:
(0:20) How To Set Up For Leg Extension
Step 1: Lining yourself up with the pivot point of the machine
Step 2: Pulling yourself down into the seat to help stabilize your pelvis
Step 3: Not flinging the weight out of the bottom - this is where many issues can start to arise with the knee and cause undue stress to that joint. The knee has little stability in this part of the movement. So, it may not be the exercise here causing your knee pain as much as your execution.
Step 4: Control the eccentric part of each rep - maintain control and get the most out of the exercise.

So glad I ran into this channel. Very formal and to the point. Keep up the good work 🤙
Thank you so much, we will! :)
Excellent tutorial. This channel is underrated
Thank you, we appreciate you watching!
Haven't done Leg Ext. in a decade. Back in 2010s it was considered a contraindicated exercise. Know it seems to k. Might reconsider it another chance.
You certainly should, especially following the cues that are provided here. You'll reap benefits for sure!
@@AlexBush_Shorts yeah I'm sure. One I learned from mens health Ebenezer Samuel no such thing as a bad exercise nothing is 100%.
Best channel for fitness 👍
that means a ton, thank you!!
Thank you Elia!
Just in time for todays leg session 😈
A staple within every leg session for me!
Good stuff, very thorough, thanks guys :)
Our pleasure!
Cool!
Wouldn't it also make sense (similar to the lying leg curl) to just keep that last 15 degrees out? Like not going fully into the lengthened position ?
It's a viable option for sure!
are we meant to feel it mostly in the lower quad?
Do you notice the lower quad during the workout or when you're sore and recovering from the workout?
@@PhysiqueDevelopment only during the workout
What about lowering? Should you pause at full extension then lower slowly, or does it not make a difference?
What can I do if the machine doesn’t have enough Range of motion ?
So, for example, does the machine not allow you to fully extend the knee?
@@PhysiqueDevelopment no fully stretch haha
@@PhysiqueDevelopment I can’t adjust the leg pad
What's the breathing technique?
In during the eccentric and out during the concentric is a good place to start.
U didn't show feet position
We recommend to keep foot positioning neutral.
