thanks Big,
I cant even start with 135lbs... lol.
but I will follow your advice with more warm up sets and more stretching prior to my workout. I dont think my legs are injured as I feel no pain when leg pressing. I just think I may be a stiff, inflexible bag of knots plus being overweight for so long doesnt help either. I always feel less joint pain below 140kg. If only more fat people realize this
I'll do something like this..
stretching for 15mins
deeep leg press
100lb x 25
..... hips should be mostly warmed up
squat warm ups
50 x 5
100 x 5
150 x 5
75 x 15
worksets
--------
225 x 15
275 x 12
315 x 10
135 x 10-12 [free squats - no smith mach.]
rest of Leg work out
stretching for 15mins
the free squats should build up other stabliser/core muscles. the older I get is the more I realize how much being flexible is really important. This of course also ties into using the core free weight building exercises as well.
who can forget Ronnie stretching for 30mins ending in a full ballerina split after a leg workout that included 700-800lbs squats ...something most of us should 'aspire' to imo
Ok sounds good. But remember to rest up if ur feeling intense pain or else ur goals will not be achieved. How do ur legs feel when doing cardio?? Sometimes i get ankle pain from the treadmill and will opt for the eliptical, bike, or stepper
