becbec's road to recovery

15kg leg curl is wayy to easy but he told me I can't have the leg curl higher than leg extension because it stuffs up your muscles. I can definately feel the burn in doing an extra 2 reps, maybe i should just sneak in a few more sets 8)

[Mike Zero]

I feel the volume of this is kinda low... ah well I guess I have to put my trust in the trainer, i'm sure he knows what he's doing :-s

Don't be so sure

:? wot a load of crap!!. the leg extentions are not a natural movement and shud by far be lighter that ur leg curls. reguardless u shud be working everymuscle to its best, i definatily bump up ur weights if u feel u can do more. :nod:

Yup, I have a bad habit of knocking my knees together when I do squats, deadlifts and leg press so he makes me put a ball between my knees!

The weight issue is sorted, I just forced myself up on the leg extension so I could do a satisfactory weight on the leg curl.

Thanks! It took me a gruelling 4 weeks to finish it!!

What natural product is good for rheumatoid arthritis?

My dad has this type of arthritis and his legs always hurt really bad. He is only 54 years old and he can barely walk around. What are some things that he can try to ease the pain so that he can get around better. He is still kind of young.
