I love big tone legs on a woman, that looks good, so does a fit looking rear too......
Legs and butt are my fav.

Squats work best for me for some reason leg press either dont feel like i've worked my legs or they feel over worked squats on their own(not on a smith machine- they scare me) work great legs feel like they have been worked without being over worked also leg presses tend to make my knees feel stiff. In response to women thick(muscular not fat) thighs and a nice round firm ass. no ass- no action as far as i'm concerned wnt something you can grab a hold of but not something that wobbles in your hands

I do both for my workout start with squat then leg press on the sled.

Toregar · 06-04-2006, 02:41 PM

Squats, hands down, to parallel or just below. It is the most anabolic exercise you can do for the body, deadlifts coming in a close second. If you're having knee problems, wrap them and only go down as comfortably far as you can. If they're really hurting, well then I suppose the leg press would be your next option.

Squats all day!

need2getbigger · 16-07-2008, 07:13 PM

used to do both in the gym I used to use but prefered leg press..
train at home now and do squats which i know everyone recommends to do as a mass builder i`m just not comfortable doing them.
Had keyhole surgery on my left knee and I had a hard impact on my back from a fall I had in work 15yrs ago did samething two tears before as well ...still gives me crap now

cellaratt · 16-07-2008, 10:28 PM

One of my obstacles after I broke my shoulder is that I'm not able to do squats without putting myself in great pain...yep, you read it correctly, I said my shoulder is the reason I can't do squats...The weight of the bar combined with the angle my shoulder has to be in to do the exercise cause's severe pain on my reconstructed shoulder...So with great regret I am forced to do leg press as a alternative. In all honesty, it doesn't bother me much...

notorious1990 · 16-07-2008, 11:02 PM

Lunges are another option.

weeman · 17-07-2008, 03:15 PM

i prefer leg press to squats,in fact i dont squat at all,cant say my quads have suffered because of it either ;)

Yates was another leg press instead of squats guy,can't say his legs suffered either really lol
