Conseils techniques
Avoid rushing through the exercise. Instead, perform the leg extension in a slow, controlled manner. This allows for maximum muscle contraction and reduces the risk of injury. A common mistake is to use momentum rather than muscle strength to lift the weight, which can lead to strain or injury.
Do not use weights that are too heavy for you. This can lead to improper form and increases the risk of injury. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase it as your strength improves.
Ensure you are using a full range of motion during this exercise.
