Re: How do i train legs?
Bulldozer...
I think you forgot one..... Squats

Seriously though, if you have had a knee Injury be careful, go light to start with and keep good form, do not bounce at the bottom of the move, gradually build the weight up over time for around 8-10 rep range.

If it starts to hurt at anypoint then stop....
Good Luck

Re: How do i train legs?
As bulldozer said, squats.
Start out with some high rep ranges first to see if the knees will be ok.
Hamstring work gives much support to the knees as all that ties in behind the knee

Re: How do i train legs?
for what its worth IMHO i would do as every1 else has said but i would do own body weight squats 1st as if you have a problem with these then normal squats will be no good for you, not only that at least you will get the blood flowing to your muscles and make them so that you can do normal weights!

Re: How do i train legs?
seeing as you have just started training legs after an op then i suggest you use the Leg Press as it is much more controllable than squats.
I have not used Squats in my routine for 11yrs and it has done me no harm...squats are not the be all of everything...

Re: How do i train legs?
I would do leg press to be honest and go light VERY LIGHT and work up very slowly if you do damage to it again it will just put you out even longer, its a marathon not a sprint good luck.

Perhaps the fact that squats build the glutes tons (all my powerlifting has left me looking like a duck....thats actually what people have compared me to when i walk) thus if you think your glutes are big enough and want to purely target the quads then leg press and other such movements become more effective for ones goals.

I would still take front squats over leg press tho.
