depends on the biomechanics of the person pefroming the exercise. back squats are not the king of all leg exercises for everyone.

I like doing full barbell squats because of the other stabilizer muscles used, as well as the back muscles incorporated, but if I'm trying to do more weight and really tax my legs, I use the leg press. When I'm able to isolate my legs like that, I feel like I can work my legs to failure better. I feel doing squats first is crucial over starting with leg presses from a safety standpoint.
