Legs Day & Knee Pain
Ok, so yesterday was legs day. And by the end of the workout my knees are killing me and it lasts for the rest of the day! I have not been lifting that long... maybe 6 months. So im worried that this is just gonna get worse. Below is my workout...
Leg Press - 6 sets @ 6-8 reps
Single Leg Press - 3 sets @ 6-8 reps
Leg Extentions - 4 sets @ 6-8 reps
Lying Leg Curls - 4 sets @ 6-8 reps
SLDL - 4 sets @ 6-8 reps
Then calves...
I know i need to do squats, come April that is the plan. I was hoping everyone here would have some suggestions on how to stop this knee pain. BTW, on leg press i only go up to 550lbs, so when i get to the point where im putting up serious weight, my knees are gonna be shot!
Any help will be apprecicated!

Yeah, it's probably the leg presses. I think it was here that i read that leg presses can commonly cause leg pain because of how they work - the weight is pushing up at your legs, instead of how your knees naturally take weight... which is pushing down from the top.Originally posted by Prince

don't forget that leg extensions also produce very high amounts of strain on the knee. IMO, front squats would be a good substitute

I use a lying leg press that keeps my feet fixed as my torso moves but still by knees are killed. Leg extensions don't hurt me at all
