Didn't someone on here mention how those exercises can fukk with your knees as well? I could be wrong, and I still do those from time to time. Just thought I remembered someone posting about it.
You ever try lunges?

You ever try lunges?
I'd be more afraid of that leg extension machine than I'd ever be of squats. Barring any pre existing injury as long your knees follow where your feet point and you're sitting back instead of down with your squats it's not bad on the knees
That leg extension machine is applying pressure damn near directly on your knees
When I got my knee fixed years back my physical therapist told me to toss those shyts in the bushes immediately. She had 3 different clients rip their ACL repairs using it. I won't even rest on that machine 
Walking lunges are what I replaced those with.

imho that's why you pay for someone like that, to push you to places you wouldn't normally take yourself. as long as you aren't way out of your comfort (and by comfort i mean safety, not feeling imminent injury etc) zone then i would be happy to get those kinda days in when you can.5 x10, 225 on deads with the hex bar but in rapid movements, 20 second rest
Its time for me and my trainer to get on the same page. Dude is acting like I'm training for a pro day.

No doubt, its actually good to see I can handle the volume and pace. What we get done in 30 minutes usually takes me an 1.5 hours. He might be hurting his business because the looks we get from others isimho that's why you pay for someone like that, to push you to places you wouldn't normally take yourself. as long as you aren't way out of your comfort (and by comfort i mean safety, not feeling imminent injury etc) zone then i would be happy to get those kinda days in when you can.
That deadlift shyt was cruel. I never thought about doing speed reps on that
From my personal experience, that doesn't sound like a good idea.No doubt, its actually good to see I can handle the volume and pace. What we get done in 30 minutes usually takes me an 1.5 hours. He might be hurting his business because the looks we get from others is

This guy asked me why I do squats and the guy beside him started laughing and said "I was wondering the same thing"
Not everybody works out just for females
Women pay attention to that shyt...unproportioned lower body isn't woah. Gives you that umph in the stroke game as well.
We at the LA Fitness and the 3 juicers I noticed didn't have any legs...nikkas looking at awe when we were squatting 4 plates. shyt is sad really. What's the use of cheating and still have smaller legs than most...plus it's even more outrageous b/c of the roid shoulders and chest.

@puppetmaster on point with that shyt...fukked up my knee for 2 weeks with leg extension. I've taken advice from his advice a while back.
Don't be afraid of legs brehs. Way more sensitive body parts than the knees and lower back that people have no problem training all the time. (shoulders, arms, chest)

Yeah, though I don't do them as much. I mostly squat, but I feel like those should be a good substitute. You can cycle those off and on along with other leg exercises. I personally wouldn't do leg extensions and presses often cuz like dude said they put a lot of pressure on your knees. Still aren't bad to do every once in a while if you don't got any knees injuries you're trying to come back from.
