Reply With QuoteIt would translate to a lot less. I can leg press over 800 lbs and I can't squat near that so?

vertical leg press vs. squats
i have a vertical leg press at home. on it i can do 400 for about 2 reps. what would that translate to if i were doing squats? is one better than the other?

I can press 32 45lb plates on the leg press for 3+ reps. I've never squatted more than 405lbs. Now I did that for many reps but still that's nothing close to what I can leg press.
There is no exact measurement. There are to many variables.

it wouldn't translate to anything. they are two different lifts.

Virtually impossible to quantify...

Well if you want to do a test, subtract your bodyweight from 400, then try squats with that weight first. Then progress upwards until you hit your 2 rep limit. That will tell you your equivalent strength.

You mean test your 2RM in the squat to find out what your 2RM in the squat is? Yeah, that's exactly what you should do.
