Revealed! WORST Leg Exercises

This article is ridiculous. Everyone above has gone into explaining why so I won't bother with the details. I have been a personal trainer for 27 years and I am also a Pro natural bodybuilder and Pro natural figure competitor and I can tell you that this article is a conglomeration of bad information and misleading advice. It's like listening to someone that has worked out for 2 weeks suddenly thinking they are experts in the field of exercise. (And anyone who has spent as much time in the gym as I have knows exactly who I'm talking about.)
Please seek the advice of a knowledgeable trainer that can teach you the benefits and proper form of ALL of the exercises talked about in the above article and chalk this bit of nonsense up to the ramblings of a "wannabe". Votes: +3

I too as a trainer and an older woman (early 50's) find that as long as you properly warm up and feel comfortable doing any exercise you won't have a problem. I say comfortable, because quite a few of my female clients are too scared to even leg press 1/2 of there body weight. Not until I explain that they lift there body weight every day, multiple times do they start to feel more comfortable as I raise their weight. Interesting article, but sorely misguided too. I appreciate all the comments and I'm so happy to see there are intellegent responders out there! Good going! Votes: +2

The title of this was 'Worst Leg Exercises'. I expected to see a list of the 'worst leg exercises'. Article was informative, but I think a different title could have better described the content. Votes: +0

I'm a fitness novice, so I am really glad to see that this article didn't really jive with people more in the know than I. The kids are still saying jive, right? ;) Votes: +1

I am a physical therapist and I have to agree with Marla's comments above, this article contains terrible advice and much misinformation. Votes: +1

Wow. Have to agree there's a lot of misinformation. Runners need strength not bulk, that means lift heavy with low reps. Votes: +0

Sorry, but women DO bulk up. And no steroids involved! I always avoid the leg extention machine when doing weight training because after two weeks my quads get so big that my thighs don't fit into my jeans. Votes: +0

If you need advice on legs, please leave this page immediately. Deadlifts overstretching your muscles LOL. Heavy weight squats causing increased thickness. Read a book, ask a bodybuilder, heavy weights + low reps DOES NOT constitute bodybuilding or cause you to gain some crazy ma*s. Votes: +0

No sure who wrote this but Iam positive about something:
1- Whoever wrote this has ever been in a Gym and probably hates Gym and people who get real results in the gym.
2- This writter is totally ignorant in Biomechanics
3- Whatthey list as worst exercises are probably those he or she heates the most, so do not take any word here for grant.
4- Stay away from this artcle if you really want to get results
5- Genetics!??, really!? Genetics helps but is just the start or can you tell me that every bodybuilder inherited big calfes. Ask Arnie and R. Coleman.
Smith machine: it poses less risk to get your spine injured but I am convinced that whoever wrote this article can barely do free squats, lol.
For the record. I am a bodybuilder who has got results and hit the gym often:
Discipline, trainig plan, proper diet
