I tried it messing around after i did my normal thing and it seems like I might need to do it more to finish. Good idea or bad? |

Are you doing squats? Don't be convinced that something is the best exercise just because you aren't used to it or it made you very sore. |

I can't do cardio machines. They make me want to die of boredom

Back when I wanted a faster 2 mile time on my PT test, I used the stairmaster every other day. Did 20 minutes of intervals. Dropped a couple minutes off my time over a month or two. For me, its preferable to running because it is non-impact. I am very prone to shinsplints so I get my cardio via stairmaster or swimming as much as possible.
When I trained for big-mountain climbing; rainier, baker, denali etc., I would spend 40-60 minutes on it every day. Does wonders. YMMV |

SCW - nope, my gym doesn't have a squat rack just a smith machine 
It just seems like it might be a good way to put the finishing touches on your/my muscles and push them to exhaustion. I do 5x12 on leg extensions, leg curls, leg press, and calves. Then might start doing the machine for 20mins or so. |

Do a real leg day and you wouldn't ask that question.

I would use it more for cardio/intervals/toning/endurance than strength.
If you dont have a squat rack work your way up to pistol squats. Theyre a good alternative to "heavier" bodyweight squats. Plus they help balance and flexibility. |

I use an elliptical for 1 mile on leg day for a warmup. 1/4 mile forward, 1/4 mile backward, 1/4 mile forward, 1/4 mile backward. Then lunges, squats, and deads

After all three of my knee surgeries they had me on those things. I hated them, but they work.
