Why does it have to be one or the other? Why can't it be both?
Because squats leave no energy for leg press and it’s hard to get under a barbell after exausting tf out of leg press

its supposed to be hard.
You can also hacksquat, pendulum squat, belt squat, smith squat, splitsquat and lunge as well, theres many tools for building quads.

I’ve done it. But typically we’re working a muscle twice a week. So one day do squats and the other leg press.
I have a home gym so it’s squatting all the time. Maybe one day I’ll get a leg press machine.
Leg press feet as low as platform, heels to the edge, leaving a 2-3 inch gap between your feet. Knees 6 inches from chest, at the bottom pause.
These are amazing for quads
That’s what I been doing

man, i wish i had the ankle flexion and hip mobility to do that LOL. I cant even do that without any weights.
No movement is “necessary,” but most, especially beginners, will benefit from the more CNS/systemic load a squat generates and the movement pattern required from it. What your training includes should always be dictated by your current state and the goal. I squat fairly infrequently but I built my base almost entirely on heavy squats at as high a volume as I could tolerate.

Just curious what kind of volume during your base building phase?
I don’t even know, I trained like a straight bro. No structure. No plan. Just went and did it. Only goal was make sure I was toasted by the end of the session.
I believe a lot of the squat versus press debate comes down to genetics. Personally speaking, I wasted a lot of time believing squats were a necessity in my routines. Leg presses for the win for me, and a low stance! Tom Platz stance
What kinda volume sets reps
Must be leg length and mobility torso length lower back strength vs leg strength that dictates it
No idea dude I trained with near zero structure back then. Genetics and newb gains carried me.
I still think high rep heavy squats will grow you like no other, there are just safer alternatives for me. My last working set was 405x12. At 5’5 225 it’s just a bit too risky for what my goals are. But I do want to get back under the bar.
That’s fuckin big. Jesus.
Look I used to do squats I pushed it far and have constant knee issues to where my knees take the force and not my quads if I squat (have to go lighter)
So I figured if I leg press, the stability factor allows me to just drop into the set slow rep and go to normal tempo and it hits my quads instead of my knees.
Sounds odd I know but that’s why I deviated from squats.
And I used to squat as heavy as possible to scary weights for my strength level. Using lower back and all (this is where the knee issue came from) and before I had those knee issues I noticed when I threw in leg press I got the first leg results I ever had basically.
This was from when I added leg press nothing crazy but clearly some stimulus was provided before this they were just nothing
That’s when I started to think I may have been onto something -meaning I wasn’t using momentum anymore
This is years ago
Always been kinda vascular since tren or injectable Superdrol but the mass lacks because I don’t eat food

Just FYI, Seth did lots of squatting. So don't get it in your head that he was leg press only.
