Ive been trying for a while to build my legs but I have a nagging knee injury which makes it difficult. I started doing mainly barbell squats and leg extensions ( I dont have access to a gym so cant use leg press which I love!)
Anyway I have had to go to single leg because my one side is taking over ( Im guessing because of my knee) and I was starting to get muscle imbalance...nothing crazy but I could see it.
So I changed to single leg extentions and Bulgarian split squat just until the imbalance goes....this is kinda working but my knee hurts when doing any type of lunge.....
My question is...as long as I put the muscle into hypertrophy will my legs grow? so if I could use leg extention ( which strangely doesnt seem to hurt it ) and something like bands and time under tension would that work or is it simply not enough? Do I need the weight increase to make the real bulk to the muscle or is there a way I can cut down on the weight but still get the growth?
Thanks in advance
