whats a heavy weight for leg extensions

[Lao Tzu]

i did them for burnouts today after squats and lunges with 120x10x3. i don't even think our machines go up over 250lbs. i'd have to go sit on the hammer strength version and load up like 8 plates on it to get in the 300 range.

i sure wish hammer strength would come out with a good tricep kickback machine. that would be the best ever. i'd do nothing but that machine for tris supersetted with doing a skiing acceleration motion as fast as i could only i'm not really holding the poles. i could bring poles maybe on heavy day.

the thing is i can't squat because of really bad knees. i can leg extend with 305 but i can't squat more than 225 because of knee problems. So i don't really know how powerful my legs are. Leg presses are pretty much out too due to the knees and if i can do them i can only do about 1/2 as much as i probably should be able to do.

whats that below me?

I refuse to do squats. my knees are bad enough. weighing 261 doesnt help either.

aren't leg extensions worse for your knees than squats?

hell if i know. all i know is i can do more on extensions than i can on squats.

yeah i don't blame you if you have bad knees. my knees are fine and they still hurt and start creaking after hitting squats and then whatever else afterwards. maybe ask santa for a nice set of titanium knees for christmas?

i wanted an MP3 player but maybe i can get that added to my list. perhaps i can just perform my own surgery and put some brass doorknobs and superglue down there. If it weren't a good idea i wouldn't be considering it.

.The Stack... I would hardly use leg extensions as a gauge for strength

Heavy weight is subjective anyway man.

Just do what you can do, do it to failure (if thats how you train).

Why the hell am I not on your ignore list anyway man?
