Leg extensions are awful. If they didn’t help my knee tendinitis and make my quads bigger and stronger, I wouldn’t do them at all

Three singles can build to a for-sure double in my experience

Well, was going to do squat stuff today. But. Was wakening up today and got hit by muscle spasms in calves. This kind of stuff has happened since I was a boy. But was incredibly bad this time. Damaged the calf somehow, can barely walk. Forget the gym. Staying home and working it. Ice, rest, whatever. I can’t believe it. Years to build any kind of strength, one second to lose it all.

Okay, so calf has more or less healed up. Felt good enough to do some upper body.
