Leg press over squat crew reporting for duty.




Yeah I get that squat is better in some ways, but that’s mainly due to activating more stabilizer muscles. If I’m already working those muscles through other lifts I don’t see a need to hit them all at once via squats. Plus squats are worse for your back, especially if you go heavy. Only time I hit the squat rack is to do curls.

Leg press over squats all day.

Most people dont even know how to properly do leg press and just ego lift. When I do leg press I get such a huge pump that I have a difficult time walking for the rest of my workout. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

In an interview Dorian Yates explained that he got more stimulation out of leg presses so he dropped squats.
I like both personally.

I actually like to start with leg press because I feel it stretches my leg muscles out a bit better while having the back support. My squats end up having better range of motion because of it.

Always hate when the leg press is taken and I have to start with squats.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Scooby says both are dangerous and you’d be better off doing skateboard squats followed by a game of basketball for your stabilizing muscles. (U aware?)

This. Not to mention your spine is way better off doing leg presses. Plus, leg press machine is the best for doing calf raises so you already have the machine and are ready to blast your calves after hitting the press hard.

That's the misconception of the leg press. Way too many people go too heavy and dont have proper ROM to actually benefit from the movement. Having full ROM on the leg press gives me an insane pump that no barbell squat can come close to providing me. I then follow it up with full ROM hack squats and want to vomit. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Leg press is great for having a high stimulus/fatigue ratio

With the squat, limiting factor is often your core/bracing, back, balance, etc and not your quads

A leg press machine takes that away

It's also a huge time saver, especially if you're strong already

If I wanted to get a good stimulus from squats I have to work up to at least 4 plates. It'll take me 30 minutes just to warm up and get through my first working set. Leg press takes half that time

The only reason to do a squat is you're either A) A beginner wanting to work on overall strength or B) A competitive lifter or athlete

If you just want to get jacked and you don't care about the cool points associated with squat, there are better options

Leg press, RDL, lunges, step ups, leg curls, leg extensions, calf raises, abductor/adductor machines are all you really need for good leg hypertrophy

This is coming from someone who has squatted 585 and deadlifted 635 in the past (I was a power coper, many such cases)

And they all do it wrong . Everyone I’ve ever seen on the leg press lets it go too far down curving their spine . It’s a good exercise if done right ,but rarely do you see people use the machine properly .

Myself I’d say Tom is right and squats are far superior,but todays soyboys prefer machines
