    if your goal is quad hypertrophy, then you have no reason to do squats over leg press
    if your goal is general strength, as well as developing more muscle groups than just your quads, squats are better

          you don't even lift.

          most bodybuilders i know genuinely train like this, it definitely works
          add in some quad extensions, hamstring curls, and machine adductor squeezes, and your legs are decently covered
          don't bother training calves, they're all genetics zzzzz

          I agree on the quad extensions and leg curls because they hit the legs from different insertion points, but I think the adductor machine is rather useless.
          >calves
          if you have time to spend training calves then you have too much free time lel

            Adductors are a larger muscle group than the hamstrings, but training your hamstrings is fine while adductors is a waste of time? Interesting

                You're not performing the main function of the adductors (adduction) particularly well on either of these, unless you're doing 6-8 sets of wide-stance squatting/leg pressing 2x a week. Never got sore adductors until I actually started isolating them (and I also stopped getting groin tweaks, very thankful for that)
                >doesn't know about the functions of the hammies
                >calls me dyel
                I never said that you shouldn't isolate the hamstrings through knee flexion (I personally do nordic curls twice a week, no machine leg curls bc home gym), but you're the one saying that you shouldn't isolate the adductors through adduction. What are you even trying to say?

              I built my calves abusing weighted stretch. What matters for calf growth is not trying to take the tendon out of the picture lol. What matters is training them all the fricking time, constantly. The 2 groups known for having big calves are runners and fat morons. Both of them "abuse" the tendon, it's how the muscle is supposed to work you moron. I train calves every time I lift, either with heavy AF bouncing calf raises or heavy carries.

    I don't enjoy doing squats because of the high risk of injury alongside feeling like I'll fall forward once hitting proper depth. It's honestly just a scary exercise overall and leg press helps negate that stress by allowing you to sit down and take it at your own pace with much less severe consequences for messing up. You can instantly rack the weight at any point by adjusting the handles inward, you can load it up far more than most body builder you see can squat, and it's comfortable being able to sit down and have your back spread across the seat's surface rather than wobble uncontrollably while you would squatting. Never understood those that don't like the leg press, but all the power to them for being able to endure the possible issues that squatting would bring

      Just do them with a slow eccentric and pause at the bottom of each rep lol. Also use safeties like a normal person
      >it's too hard!!

      Is this bait? If you do proper form and don't lift load more weight than you can handle squats are extremely safe. Worst comes to worst you can just drop the weight off your back. With a leg press you are completely locked in. It sounds like you have no ankle hip and knee mobility. Most likely get mogged hard if you tried playing a sport.

      If this was nearly any other exercise, i could understand but the squat is arguably the easiest safety wise. It's literally just going down and up. Weight's to heavy? Just throw it off you, or drop to the floor and let the safeties catch the barbell. Biggest risk, just don't hyperextend your knees as with any exercise and keep your neck upright.

      If you're squatting on the guillotine(smith machine) then fine, but outside of that there isn't really an excuse beyond you not liking it.

      you're way more likely to severely hurt yourself doing leg press than squats
      just go into any rekt thread and count the number of leg press webms in comparison to the number of squat webms
      and then even subtract the squat webs where it's a moron not using safeties because those won't apply to you if you're not moronic

    You can change the foot placement easily.
    You can use it for other exercises.
