When I use the leg extension machine at the gym I find the lighter weights (30/40kg) to be much more difficult (in a way) than 60/70kg due to the (what I presume to be) lactic acid build up in the major muscles being worked.
As an example this is the set I did this evening:
12 X 30kg
10 X 40kg
8 X 50kg
6 X 60kg
4 X 70kg
What should I be doing to reduce lactic buildup at the lower weights- or is it a simple case of HTFU?
