Not sure it'll make a difference on leg extensions, I use it on leg curls, because the Calfs can also flec the knee. It's kind of a mechanical drop set when I do it.

No GI Joe Kung Fu grip anymore. 😞
But it's functional, I get what I need from it.... I can carry ALL the groceries in, and I can furiously masturbate. That's all i need, anything else I can use straps. 🤣🤣🤣

Hammies felt like they were on the verge of popping because of the stretch. I have pretty tight hammies naturally, I pop them rather easily.

If you want some looser hammies then I recommend wall squats, and inch worms. The world's greatest stretch is good too if you use a long stride and don't let your knee touch the floor.

Do you prefer this over Hammer Strength? I've been using the HS incline as my primary horizontal push for this meso and my titties have never been so glorious.

I use the HS as well if the Smith isn't open. Both are good.

Damn! I'm sorry to hear that man. Was there any indication before it happened, such as really tight stretch or pain/cramping, etc?

Get to the doctor! I hope this won't screw your bulk 😢
