Are you lifting to build muscle mass or toning? The same thing happens to me in my shoulders sometimes. I do about 6 to 7 reps, then number 8 burns like a MF!
Do you stretch before and between each set? -----Original Message----- From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 9:40 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Hey weightlifters I'm 2 weeks into a weightlifting routine (woohoo me!) and I have a question about technique. Currently I'm choosing a weight that I can do about 15~20 reps before muscle fatigue. This works great on all muscles except for when I do the leg extension. For the first ~13 reps or so, it doesn't feel very heavy, but on 14 or 15, suddenly it's like someone plunges a knife into my leg and I have to lower the weight IMMEDIATELY. It's odd, because all other muscles seem to have a slow ramp to fatigue, but the front side of my thighs do not act this way.
