when i was going to therapy for my blown out knee the first thing i did to warm up the quads and knees was to get on a treadmill backwards at its highest angle [slow steady pace] for 5 to 10 minutes . what a difference!! so i now incorporate this before my leg workouts.
anyone else do this if not give it a try. gets the blood flowing in your quads bigtime. |

Usually I will do a few sets of leg extensions, then head over to do squats or leg presses.

I'll usually ride the bike for a few minutes to get my muscle warmed up and then go do a set of squats with no weight to get everything warm, stretch a little and then off I go!

Squats are starting to affect the area directly behind my kneecap. I will have to try that. Thanks.
