Legs shake when doing leg extensions?

Is it a possible sign of an incoming injury?

I was doing the LEGendary workout, and by the time I was doing leg extensions, my legs were CRAZY shaking, even though I was using not so heavy weight. What should I do?

There is nothing wrong with this at all! Its called phasic recruitment and basically means your legs are fatigued and are trying to recruit any other muscle possible to create the movement. As your legs get more conditioned to this type and volume of exercise the phasic recruitment will reduce.
