Added in a new element to my routine tonight. Leg presses & calves. Not ready to start squatting quite yet - knee issue - but need to get moving that direction.
I started off in the Leg Press machine (we used to call it a hip sled) with 463lbs x10 then did 3x8 of 513lbs. The odd number is due to the weight of the Leg Press machine being weird. I try to make sure each one is "deep" with my heels nearly touching my butt - mimicking a good deep squatting range of motion.
I then did alternating sets of leg extensions (machine) and calf raises. 3x10 on both exercises. I finished with machine back extensions alternating with machine abs.
I'll definitely feel it in my abs tomorrow. Probably in my thighs as well. Should be fun.
