Which of these compound exercises do you prefer for your legs?

samurai69 · 07-06-2005, 08:38 PM

Squats, there is such a variety, front, zercher, sumo, ass to grass, hack etc.

Some leg press machines are ok, but the weight most people can use is rediculous

**big** · 07-06-2005, 08:44 PM

Squats all the way.

To me, leg press doesn't qualify as a compound anyway.

crazycacti · 07-06-2005, 10:21 PM

IMO no contest - the mother of all exercises - the squat

Truewarrior1 · 08-06-2005, 09:36 PM

Squats, unless your knees are hammered then you have to take care them.

I prefer the one with the biggest tits!

I do leg press, I'm awesome at leg press! my knees are buggered, I can barely squat 40kgs without my knees feeling like they're gonna rip....which is a bastard...

I guess to be 100% honest I rate them equal. If you have access to the good equipment its hard to beat, but squating is far better when you have access to crapy stuff only. Then again for as little as $250 in the USA you can get a good vertical leg press one of my favorites.

The first gym I worked out at was super hard core and had one of these with old train wheels on it, so the lightest you could use was 600 lbs to start.

But who can argue with this?

Sorry, you need good looks to attract them.

Squats every time, leg press doen't even compare as a raw mass-builder. I think Tom Platz is testament to that:
