Worst Leg Exercise Ever (WORSE THAN LEG EXTENSIONS)

supporting the quads during the squat. It's leg exercises like this that can lead to more harm than good. Again, can they produce results? Sure but they do so at the expense of the health of your legs and knees. For that reason, I cannot recommend this leg exercise in good conscience to my athletes or my viewers. For a complete program created by a strength coach and physical therapist that puts the science back in strength, be sure to head to and get your ATHLEAN-X Training System

Yeah sure sissy squats are bad, and your 10x10 at 70% bad form squats is correct? lmao your just plain WRONG! You just need to strenghten the knees through gradual sissy squat progression exercise like: atg split squat, nordic curls, atg step ups etc. Then eventually build up to full range sissy squat. I like you to challenge or debate against KneesOverTheToesGuy because guess what. YOUR GONNA LOSE Your statement on the sissy squat is base on old false research. New research shows it can actually SAFELY! strenghtens the knee.

So how is it any different to walking down a steep grade or stopping your momentum quickly after a sprint? Those Scandinavian body weight leg curls are what make my knees hurt. In a sissy squat the tension from your quads would carry the stress across your knees, unlike in leg extensions where the tension is lateral to a vertical shear. Unless you are standing on a box or something and keeping your body vertical instead of leaning back. I can see how that would create the kind of shear stress you are describing?

i only do 2 sets of 15 reps followed by two sets of wide stance squat with very little weight maybe 20 kg and i only do that every now and then my legs are good the knees are abit sore byt that came from normal squats barbel squats of with 3 times 20 kg plates on each end, i cant do the nirmsl squats with out big discomfort in my knee caps yet the sissy squats dont hurt my knees then when i. warm i can do a couple sets of wide squats and a couple sets of calf raises

I agree that sissy squats are a bad and dangerous exercise but I disagree with you when you say that leg extensions are one of the absolute worst exercises because if you do them carefully and not with too heavy of weight and use higher repetitions I think they're a pretty darn good exercise for your quads.

I know probably everybody's experience is different. but I have had very good success with leg presses and leg extension and leg curls. I've read a lot in the comments about leg extension being bad for the knees and maybe they are if you try to go to heavy. But you really don't have to go real heavy.

Argument for Sissy Squat or modified Sissy Squat: person with dropped foot and poor dorsiflexion, for development of anterior tibialis. when a hammer strength machine isn-t available. Of course, weight proportionate to what you-re trying activate.

Good stuff! Additionally, that patellar tendon stress will cause accelerated wear on the articular cartilage of the femoral trochlea and the back of the patella, cartilage that NEVER grows back. Heels through the floor is the best

As someone with already weak knees, this exercise just looks like it would cause more pain in the first place. After hearing Jeff it just reinforces that it's bad for you. Jeff's opinion takes more weight than scott Herman etc.

What if I use resistance tube instead of the machine with loads? Surely this wouldn't hurt vastus medialis and knee joints? High and controlled reps for perfect teardrops and knee health? I mean. this feels soo freaking good!
