Squat sucks!!!

[Arian]

I like doing squats, but sometimes it does hurt my knees. I'll swap it up with the leg press. I personally think that is almost as good as squats. You can load up a lot of weight and it's pretty damn safe.

I bough a leg press and train with it in my basement with the rest of the equipement, and yes you can build great legs with a leg press, you still need to make sure that your whole spin and lower back never comes of the bench.

I have been working with the leg press since my back pain got better about 8 months ago. I get an awsome leg workout usually go for 6 sets.

Leg press is more detrimental to your knees than squats because of the sheer forces it applies to the top of the knees.

So, yannick, you're right, you can make improvements without squats, but it takes a lot more to achieve the same results. Besides posting your stats, doesn't really help your argument.

Squats do another thing, they improve ALL your lifts. Because squats, when done properly is a total body workout.
