    lol…. “ow weight high rep burns more fat than low rep high weight” uh no…. INTENSITY burns fat, and builds muscle, and you can acquire intensity by training smart, whether it is low rep high weight, or mod weight high reps. intensity is all about time under strain and the workload the muscle is performaning in a given ammount of time. intensity = booted up heart rate/metabolism = fat burning machine.

    u can have a low bodyfat but it doens’t mean your muscles are toned. my suggestion will get you enduring very strong legs but not bulky. low weight high rep burns more fat than low rep high weight. along with weight training you would be running, or more, depending on how hard u want to train

    @Sojaofdapepo …
    @Sojaofdapepo being toned relates to bodyfat being low, if the muscles are being excercised regularly already then it’s the variable that makes the difference.

    @MrZenic in my opinion yes. This is enough to maintain or progress.If your are easily acheiving 10 reps on your final set then you need to progress: move more slowly on the extention and retraction. Then notch up the weights.

    never over work your muscles. 3 times a week is plenty. Great video by the way, even though it seems self explanitory, it’s amazing how many don’t do it correctly.

    leg extention and leg curl suck, squats, dealifts and leg press and maybe some calf raises are all you need, leg extentions and leg curls will not really help much

    Does a leg press work your entire lower body? If I do this excercise does this mean that I don’t have to do a leg extension or leg curl?
