Leg Press V.s Squat

[muscledog95]

I feel a major burn and fatigue when I use the leg press machine. Would you guys consider the leg press machine a suitable compound excercise or alternative to the squat

HELL NO!!!

Squats involve way more lower body muscles than the press. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.

gotta go w/ Jguns on this one.

Only if you have legitimate physical reasons for not doing squats like a bad back or sorry knees.

The effects that squats have on growth hormone and the extent to which they utilize stabilizer muscles is just too good to pass them up in favor of leg presses. Squats challenge your entire body. Just do 'em.

Squats are killer, I love em!

i have to do leg presses instead of squats because my penis is so heavy i cant squat with it hanging down.
