What are Leverage Squats? Is it a machine of some kind?

Well, I guess if you don't always train with the sumo style, I would say it's harder. For me anyway, the sumo style feels better on my lower back, but it really strains my inner knees and inner thighs. The conventional style is harder on the low back, but mechanically feels better.

Body Solid Leverage Squat

this is it. pretty self explanatory, really KILLS the quads, lets you get really deep even if you can't squat regularly that deep, I loved it, I know its a "machine" and all, but it felt great

Makes me wonder how much I am suffering by not getting sufficient sleep every night?

westside is like the toyota of programs. you can shop around for something flashier, or newer or cooler, but you can't beat the reliability of a toyota.

ok that was a dumb analogy, but you get the point. The program is just so cool, you can try everything else, but you know this one will work and give you the goods

It definitly is the best for strength in the top 3 lifts!

If I am looking for hypertrophy its just not there and I think thats where alot of young guys get frustrated. Sure you will get a little size, but no where near is it in comparison with strength.

Like always strong lifts! We know where you stand! Lift heavy at all costs.
