squats vs leg press

[CowPimp]

SQUATS AND PRESSES are both equally important.

Presses give you much more variation, which is absolutely KEY.

5-6 sets of EACH is the wise decision.

There are plenty of variations of lower body movements that don't require using the leg press.

Which ever you choose, you're going to get a good leg workout.

I know I'll get ripped apart for this, but one of my favorite quad exercises is a variation of a squat on the smith machine. I get under the bar and place my feet close together (12 inches) and well out in front of me.

This movement works well for me

Rip away.

I did this too for far too long. It didn't do much for my quads but may hams benefitted and my ass ended up growing like crazy. I don't do these anymore.

I don't like the restriction of the smith machine in a squat movement either. However, I have heard it's good for building up the quads without expanding the waistline for those who are prone etc. Whether or not this is true, I don't know.

I know the way my legs are growing it seems out ways, they bulge out at alot jsut under the hip. It's a look i like - my legs are the only part of me that responds to training.
