It’s been a bit, so it felt like day one

For this exercise you will need to use a leg extension machine. First choose your weight and sit on the machine with your legs under the pad (feet pointed forward) and the hands holding the side bars. This will be your starting position. Tip: You will need to adjust the pad so that it falls on top of your lower leg (just above your feet). Also, make sure that your legs form a 90-degree angle between the lower and upper leg. If the angle is less than 90-degrees then that means the knee is over the toes which in turn creates undue stress at the knee joint. If the machine is designed that way, either look for another machine or just make sure that when you start executing the exercise you stop going down once you hit the 90-degree angle.
- Using your quadriceps, extend your legs to the maximum as you exhale. Ensure that the rest of the body remains stationary on the seat. Pause a second on the contracted position.
- Slowly lower the weight back to the original position as you inhale

Leg Extensions

Start with both feet on a step a few inches above the ground

While keeping your weight on the right foot, take a big step back with your left foot crossing your left leg behind your right leg

Drop straight down, bending your rear knee as you do, as if you're actually 
curtsying

Drive through your front foot and 
stand back up to the starting position.

Superset 1 legs 2.0 -2

KEEP THESE HEAVY WITHOUT COMPROMISING FORM 

- Begin with bar positioned on your upper back
- Brace your midline and keep your chest up
- Eyes forward as you lower, sitting back and down
- Reach parallel and push through your heels to come back up

Barbell back squat

Step 1: Sit down on a leg press machine and place your legs on the platform in front of you. Your feet should be positioned approximately three inches apart with the toes pointed straight.
Step 2: Lower the safety bars holding the platform in place. Press the platform all the way up until your legs are fully extended, without locking your knees. As you inhale, slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle. This is the starting position.
Step 3: Slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle.
Step 4: Push with the heels of your feet and use your quadriceps to go back to the starting position. Exhale as you do so.
Step 5: Repeat for the number of reps in your set. Make sure that the safety pins are locked properly once you have finished.

Narrow stance leg press

- Stand in a wide toed out stance 
- Hold a heavy dumbbell between your legs in front of you
- Lower into a squat, touch dumbbell to the ground
- Stand up to full extension

Dumbbell sumo squat

Superset 2 legs 2.0 - 2

Perform the first 8 with dumbbells, drop the weights and perform another 8 back to back 

With a step bench or any contraption that you can rest your foot on, needing to be around knee height, get into a forward lunge position with torso upright, core braced with your back leg elevated on a bench.  Your leading leg should be far enough from the bench for you to be able to descend properly.   Drive up using your  heel.  Keep your dumbbells tightly tucked on your sides.
