Is the seated leg extension bad for you
Hi Jessica,
it’s one of those cases of ‘it depends’. There is a place for a certain range of the leg extension movement that can help in post-surgical rehab. Most experts agree at this point in time that it is not the best or safest exercise for developing quadriceps strength.
I really do not use it at all any more unless directed by a physical therapist for a specific purpose.
