I bet half of you didn't even lift today

You can't even make your 5ft2 100lbs wife look small

Look at the size of that head!

Warmed up with the lighter weights at 30 reps then moved on to the heavy work at 20 reps, got it.

For hamstring curls I have been doing 2 sets of 15-20(a plate and a 25) and 3 sets of 10-12 (Two plates) more recently if that makes you happier but my knees are not completely stable. I had fluid leakage and a cyst in the back of the knee previously and it also slides and slips on occasion.  I use very strict form on these. I do not jerk the weight or let the knee hyper extend at the bottom I don’t let it touch and rest or bounce I squeeze back up before the tension is gone. I also have been experimenting with toes pointed up and down. I try to hold and squeeze at the top. The idea is stabilize the knee not mess it up worse. I also like my plate loaded hamstring and leg extension a lot more than the stackable cable ones at the gym. I find if I go too heavy or bounce the weight using momentum it makes the knee worse I am doing the right amount for me

Most people would just call this five sets of hamstring curls.

 

[Krankenstein]

1 set of 20 Hamstring curls
1 set of 20 Hamstring curls
1 set of 20 Hamstring curls
1 set of 20 Hamstring curls
1 set of 20 Hamstring curls
1 mile walk

Not much but it's Gods day of rest

Makes his pathetic workout appear to be more than what it is.

....and he calls this a leg day !

1) Were they strict curls?
2) Were any stairs involved in this walk?
3) How much farther to the Home Depot?

Seeing as though none of the 'hamstring' muscles cross the ankle joint....let alone the tarsal/metatarsal joints...there is no need for toes up/down experimentation.  In reference to 'toes pointed up/down' if you are referring to plantar flexion, the gastroc heads originate on their respective condyles of the femur so you are simply using the calf to assist with the curl.  It helps in either case, but more so with plantar flexion.  The soleus originates below the knee so there is minimal, if any, assistance with that.

But then again, you know all about anatomy Mensa Mess

The idea right now is not to kill everything your body can only recover from so much training I am trying to focus on strength for a curl contest in July. I do hamstrings one day a week and quads one day a week and correct right now it is just curls and extensions. I will do a multi week focus on legs again sometime but that’s not the focus right now.

1) Correct me if I am wrong but you specifically said anything higher then 8 (or was it 10) was cardio.   Why so much cardio on this "leg day".   Either train legs or train cardio.  (Isn't that your philosophy?)

2) Why are you using inferior devices to train legs?

[wes]

It was a typo the first two sets were lighter weight and 30 reps funny you guys say I am being blocked and ignored but keep pulling up old threads to talk about me

We missed our resident punching bag !!

On squats yes and my leg extension leg curl is plate loaded not a stack with cable with pulleys on legs I don’t want to use too much stabilizers as I have unstable knees I want a very controlled motion with weights. I get stabilization benefits  walking the sand on the beach

If you train strictly all the time how do you know bouncing the weight hurts your knees?

So, only on squats is high rep the same as cardio.  Interesting.  Nothing else?  No other exercise? 

You have unstable knees because you do NOTHING to make them stable except walking in sand.  Wow...so all the rehab places should just make people walk in sand for knee injuries...nothing else.  Sweet.

So a plate loaded thing makes all the difference.  Gotcha.

[bhank]

I actually did some training today strength was way up may be an anomaly.

It's simple physics cables and pulleys create mechanical advantages I absolutely feel the difference when using real weights without pulleys and cables. The hamstring curls and leg extensions are stabilizing the knees as long as I don't push too hard and stay consistent.

So guessing, you were suffering from an anemia flare up ?

You're using a machine when you do leg extensions.  Why argue this?

Ahhhh as long as you don't push too hard....gotcha.  Those and walking in sand.  Keys to knee health as prescribed by the great gut-boy

This is the dumbest thing you have posted in a while Brian.

Congrats on being a retard.

Krank,
What exercises or therapy would you recommend for Bhanky's knees (or Getbiggers with similar issues)?

It’s almost as if you don’t even train anything that strengthens the connective tissue and muscles around the knee is going to help stabilize the knee hamstring curls and leg extensions are great for your knees the hamstring curl is really helping I have noticed a big improvement in stability as I used to get a lot of pain in the back of the knee and fluid and I had a bakers cyst as well I don’t get that now

https://centerworks.com/blogs/blog/improving-knee-strength-with-a-2-leg-hamstring-curl-exercise

I would have issues after squats and when I was just doing extensions and squats now just doing hamstring curls and extensions the knees feel a lot better. The idea is consistent moderate resistance not trying to kill it and then have knee issues for 2 days afterwards. I find doing hamstrings a separate day from quads allows me to focus and recover better

So now when research suits you, its ok.  I thought you didn't need some 13-inch arm PhD telling you how to train?

Blah Blah Blah...your bakers cyst.  Get it fucking drained you dolt.  You have synovial fluid leaking from your knee.  You obviously do not do the right things for prevention / limitation as you have complained about it for the last few years.

God that line about me never training is about as worn out as your asshole.  You love throwing that line about "connective tissue and muscles surrounding blah blah blah".  Makes you sound realllllly smart, doesn't it?

[Krankenstein]

It depends on the knee issue.  Someone with a meniscal issue is not necessarily going to do the same things as someone with pes anserine bursitis or someone with moderate medial joint space.
