The gentleman knows what he is talking about.
Thanks Jeff!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks mate
Happy to help
Great stuff
Thank you!!!
This really targets the VMO directly as you said, coming straight up an angling out. Holding at the top of contraction with a long burn seem to help but lowers the reps too.
So thanks. Atrophy already, so started a leg-weight daily sched. 💯 stay 💪
Best of luck!
Thx
You're welcome!
Great vid, thanks.
Just started these due to some minor pain to the medial lower part of the knee cap / by the knee cap in my right leg whilst cycling. Seems to be improving even after a few days perhaps due to better activation and I'm really feeling a good burn and struggling to get 3x15 reps with a 5.5lbs plate hanging off my ankle , very slow and controlled and a good squeeze at the top.
Could you please give me a rough idea of what i should progress to in terms of weight in lbs? Once i get anywhere near that I'll leave the weight as it is and then just keep increasing sets/ reps. I saw a physio a while ago for tendinitis at the back of my other knee (resolved now) and all the provocative tests on my meniscus and ligaments were negative in both knees.
I've been using some old wrist support straps round my ankle which have metal hooks on them for bar work with the plate cable tied on, seems to work well.
Once 3x15 becomes to easy, slowly add weight. Maybe just another pound or two at a time. Then use that weight until once again it becomes to easy. Good luck!!
How is it going now after 5 month. Pain disappeared when cycling?
Thanks for the great video. Can I do this exercise every day? (If I'm looking for optimum results)
Yes that is fine to do. Good luck!!
BTW your physique at your age is outstanding sir!
2 things :
1- are leg extensions better than a mini squat (before 90 degrees) for VMO, and why?
2- I am a second year physio and I wanted to know the path you took to become a chiropractic/ did you study medical subject then Chiro ?
I find the exercise demonstrated is best (and very specific) for the VMO. In regards to chiropractic, I studied at a chiropractic college after receiving my bachelors degree in Exercise Science. Good luck my friend!
7 years ago i had a left knee acl and lower back injury, since my vmo is weak which cause pain on lateral side of patella. Can you please make a video on how to fix knee cap tracking? Thank you nd i am starting these exercises.
I just posted a video dealing with knee pain you might be interested in my friend!
what if leg extension exercises gives me more knee pain than i already have? i use no weights
Any exercise that causes pain you skip. Don't do it.
can i do this exercise when i already have mid to high degree cartilage damage?
If you have pain don't do them.
Is this exercise help full for bow legs? To straight my legs
It's more to strengthen the knees in general.
My doctor recomment me about vastus medical strengthening
How long would this take to see noticeable improvements
It varies. Everyone responds differently. The important thing is to be consistent with performing the exercises. Good luck my friend!
Is there anything else to do to make the muscle larger, like eating or something?
@@thomasappleton459 increase muscle time under tension- so high high reps
I can't see even a single muscle in my leg 😅
I do leg strengthening twice a week, can i add these exercises daily to activate my vmo or twice a week is enough ?
I would work those exercises at least 2 times per week.
