A Better Way To Do Leg Extensions

Should you do leg extensions with the seat up or back? Which position leads to the best quad muscle growth?

These little tips and tricks make me feel so much more confident at the gym.. I knew basically nothing about working out before watching Jeff. Can’t wait to see the transformation this year

What I appreciate about this is the context. Too many people quote a study and the percentage but then neglect the actual value of the %. this makes you a valid and trustworthy source of info for people who don't research.

IMO rectus femoris grows best in bench press

We live in a golden age of information about how to work out. You should feel blessed if you’re just starting out. A lot of us older dudes went in blind or read books, books are great but the visual medium and easy access to vids like this is revolutionary

Years into watching fitness channels and you're still the best in the game at explaining things and with data!

This is a game changer.
More stretches,
more negatives,
and better muscle growth

I'vee been setting the seat back farther for a few years and never could explain why I felt a better engagement with the quad like this, this explains it!

Tried it today, actually feels a lot better. Also for the knees

[adrianaslam]

I love that you are all science and no bullshit. Super refreshing and actually helpful

[StianLarsen-ujsh]

Thank you for sharing the results of our study and making them more accessible to everyone 💪

[EXRD]

This guy is for sure one of my favorite influencers. There are a lot of other gym influencers out there that also provide good advice, but I feel like Jeff is one of the few who actually carefully explain why the advice is good.

[huhwhatomg]

It's the little improvements that make big difference imo. If you always include the little improvements they add up

[samoliver]

Holy cow I just tried it out now and you can definitely feel the activation of a different part of your quad like crazy when you do it this way

[hoperamodike]

I am currently doing the lean back leg extension and lemme tell you this. You are a game changer. I watching fitness content that's accurate and beneficial. Thank you so much for contribution to our gains sir.❤

The fact that you talked about actual numbers and not just clickbait percentages is respectable. The percentages are real, but they exist as a comparison between two numbers, and so many people forget to provide that important info.

[loveobviously]

Since I started doing this change 2 months ago. From watching another video you did on this I can definitely see a lot more improvement in my quads.

Nerdy jeff with the depression t shirt got me giggling

[nickcheeawai]

3 months folllowing your techniques and Dr Mike's and I am seeing changes which are having a positive effect.

Bro just started this and I swear I never felt my rectus femoris pump so hard and I felt strong as hell! Good stuff mr.Nippard 👏

I've tested it the last 2 weeks. I obviously saw not difference in growth, but it helps me with my problem of leg shaking. (I have pretty stiffed harmstring wich made my legs shaking on the top of the movement)
