I just pick a weight that's sort of hard (usually a machine rn until I feel I can start to do free weights again) and increase it by 5 or 10 lbs at 10-15 reps. Usually end up doing about 80 reps. Is this bad? Meh? Did it on calf raises, leg curls, and leg extensions tonight. Leg press was low, like around 40 because my legs are a little screm-a from doing the abductor and adductor machine last night (didn't pull anything, but did get a good ahh stretch from the one that is like a goddamn spreader bar but I definitely feel it lol). Once I fix my quad dominance from biking erewhere I'll lower the reps and focus strength, but yeah what do y'all think? Also any good ways to ensure my muscles around my right knee get to a point where I don't have to worry about it potentially taking a road trip when I side step with my right foot?

    I feel that, but sometimes I can't complete a set at 10 and take a 5 sec breather to get the last 1 or two reps on a decently heavy (for me) set. Plus I'm erring on the side of caution to not fuck up my body since it's been a minute since I've been working out. Def gonna use the calf extension machine to fix my ankle mobility and stretch tf out of my calfs so I can do atg body weight squats (just about) everyday.
