When you’re after full, defined quads, leg extensions are your go to move. Their benefits are that they will isolate your quads, allowing you to apply 100% tension to the working muscle. Only a stand alone leg extension unit can give you the range of motion and versatility that your legs deserve. In this article we review the Top 10 leg extension machines on the 2019 market.<\/p>\n
