I used to prefer the leg press when i was half ****d bout a leg workout until i spent like 10 to 15 min stretching off and performing warmup sets then i went all out in a squat session last week and my legs have been aching for 4 or 5 days (in a gud way) and feel great now cant wait till my next session squats all the way leg press never gave me that soreness

Bench, squats and dead lift. Lets not get confused.
What is more natural, squats or leg press?:gun:

Both can be as good as each other, it depends on how good the leg press is and how good your form is and hard you are willing to work, same goes for squats, ive seen people load the bar and squat about 2 inches and they call that a rep, same with the leg press, they are both great exercises and are both the worst if done badly, anyway i do smith machine squats now as i have a buggered knee and it has put on some great gains on my legs over the past year or so, but again they are only as good as your form, good deep reps, squatting till your nose and eyes bleed.

I heard that Squats on a Smith Machine can potentially lead to injuries. I know one guy in my gym who used the Smith rather than wait for the rack to be available, and buggered something up.
