Leg Extensions

Leg Extensions are a great exercise because they are the only exercise for quads where you can get a "peak contraction". That means you get the most tension at the top. I like to do them first in my routine and I really think of them more as an extended warm-up. Don't worry so much about the weight on these and focus more on the flexing at the top.

USA's

This past weekend was what I would call the 2nd biggest show in the country, the USA'a in Las Vegas. Of course I was keeping a close watch on the LW class. There were some real good competitors there, but it was promising because I really believe I would have been right up in there with the top three.
