Single Leg Extension

To maximize benefits from the single leg extension, focus on controlled movements to reduce knee strain. Avoid locking your knee at the top of the extension to protect joints. Adjust the machine’s backrest so your knee aligns with the machine’s pivot point, ensuring proper form. For beginners, start with lighter weights to build strength and avoid injury. Advanced users can try slower reps or pause at the top for increased muscle engagement. Incorporate this exercise into a balanced leg routine to avoid muscle imbalances. Always warm up beforehand and stretch after to maintain flexibility.
