give me three good reasons why i need anything more than the leg press to develop good-looking, sturdy legs
>>36673718
your height
your max squat
your shit genes
>>36673802
>>36673802
that doesnt even make sense, and i dont care about "max squat" i just want to have legs that look good
>>36673824
>legs that look good
the leg press is for the quads mainly.
Calves, and hamstrings barely fit in this exercise.

feet lower on the platform = quads
feet higher on the platform = hams
the platform has a little strip at the bottom for calf raises
now what?
>>36673892
you gotta shock the muscles bro, you gotta squat, and shit
aside from that, the muscle needs toning. Differrent exercises make the muscle different looking. Its all to point of view. Bench press can be considered an all chest workout, incline, different grip, so on. You can be a ive-got-no-money for a squat rack type of guy.
Leg press doesn't work as much muscle as the squat. Takes longer to set up. Not as satisfying to complete reps.
Leg press ha transformed my quads but you need to hit the muscles from all angles
>>36673718
you dont, let press then leg curls then leg xtension and ur good bro dont fall for the squat meme
>>36673718
>only 4 plates on each side
Wait a minute here. Shouldn't this guy be doing far more? That's freaking light weight buddy.

You know they use fake weights as well, right?
I can leg press way more then I squat. Which I am guessing isn't a good thing. In fact leg press feels easy to do compared to the squat. Squat really takes a lot out of you. Which is why you are much better off doing squats. Your body needs it more.

I do almost exclusively leg press and my legs look fine. As long as you go deep and everything, you'll work almost the exact same muscles squats do. The hamstring curl machine can supplement this by hitting them better than squats ever could.
>>36673984
"shock the muscle"
jesus how fucking new can you be
I can do 4pl8 on leg press but only 1pl8 squat.
115 OHP
175 Bench
225 dead
These are all for reps
>Mfw my OHP surpasses my squat
Ive dropped down to baby weight on squat to work on form because my horrible form must be the reason i havent progressed on squat at all.
>>36675923
is that 4pl8 for several reps? maxing on leg press is fucking retarded
i only do 5 myself
>>36675939
4 pl8 for 8 reps
>>36673984
>aside from that, the muscle needs toning.
fucking normies
REEEEEEEEEE
>>36673984
>toning
You must be a female newbie.
Welcome to /fit/, your kind is rare here.
>>36673984

>>36673984

squats are retarded, just leg presses with accessories works unless you're training to cosplay as a sharptooth from land before time
>>36673718
Well for one you don't work your stabilizers like from doing squats, another reason is your body will get used to the feeling of leg pressing and you will end up stop getting sore and progressing, and i guess another reason would be that you can't squeeze the muscles as effectively as on other exercises. But if you want to be a little bitch and just want cut legs and don't care about about size then just bike, run, and do your leg press.
You dont
You dont
You dont
Squats is a meme, its still good but you can get aesthetic legs from doing Isolations or leg press if you arnt too fussed about strength
>>36673718
You need only one.
When you are pushing on a leg press, the weight is, from a biomechanical perspective, "below" you. As a result, there is no natural tendency for your knees to collapse into valgus when pushing the weight.
When the weight is above you and you squat, you are naturally going to have some level of forward lean (yes, even in a front squat), WHILE changing the length of your quadriceps and hamstrings. As a result, your natural tendency is going to want to knock your knees together (valgus). The act of fighting to keep your legs open will work both your gluteus medius and isometrically work your adductors.
By doing the squat you will work the quads, hams, glute maximus, but also the glute medius and adductors for a thicker, more well rounded sturdy looking leg. If you were only using machines, you'd need the leg press (for quads and hams, and glute max), good-girl machine (for adductors) and bad-girl machine (for glute medius).
Squats save time and prevent potential imbalances.
Can seated leg press work for replacement.
They're a quad lift. You need something for hamstrings, that's what deadlifts are for. Doing only squats for legs would be better than leg press but neither are good hammy workouts. Leg press + lunge would be great.
>>36673718
Do leg press for a month the next month do squats. Which one feels like you are wasting your time in the gym. Btw, do you want to avoid hitting glutes?

Squats are awesome. They make you stronger, they burn a shit load of calories, and it's generally fun when you're able to progress and add weight to the bar.
I added leg presses as an accessory lift after three years of lifting. 3 months later and my legs looked 100 times juicier than they ever did from just squatting.
okay but...
just hold on now...
what if...
what if one of them was better right...
and you just do that one?
what would happen?
holy shit.
just squat you fucking pussy
I've actually been curious about this too. I hurt something in my lower back ~5 months and it has been starting to feel better, but i cannot squat over lmao!2plate! without pain on the rise of the lift. Deadlifts haven't been giving me any issues with pain however. If i were to substitute leg press for squats and continue with deadlifts will my leg development really falter?

0/10 you aren't even trying
squats are way more superior leg developer in every aspect. Leg press is just always the ultimate option when you can't squat or lunge.
>>36673718
if you really wanna be lazy why not just do deadlifts (or sumo deadlifts) but not push too hard for progression or go for volume
atleast you build a manly figure instead of a womans physique

Holy god, I wanna grab that boob badly.

y even live?
>>36680367
in all honesty its the boob that is only amazing because you can not have it. when she's wear normal clothes you would never look down to look at the boob.

selenas or sarah's? Selenas face is too "cute" for me to cosider very sexually attractive
its the kind of girl you'd take out and not ask to go back to her place even though you still like her
>>36680766
I'd think the exact opposite.
>>36680778
maybe its just because Im so used to her being desexualized that I view her non-sexually most of the time,but id be lying if I said the video "good for you" didnt turn me on a bit

Also, who doens't like petite girls? They, more often times than not, become beasts in bed.

>thinks I don't like petite girls
I like any girl that is pretty and has a nice tight butt that suits her frame, I don't like chubbies that much but I do make exceptions for one that have a great hourglass and if they're pretty too
>petite girls beasts in bed
fit girls are the best in bed because they wont complain about their legs hurting when they ride you or do some other non-missionary position. I just don't like A-B cup girls that much because beasts are fun to play with and look at

Don't know about fit girls because I've never fucked a really fit one. But god damn, small framed girls are my thing.

>>36680957
they dont have to be FIT they just can't be out of shape really, god damn I love it when a girl can say "I love it when im on top" instead of "I hate being on top because it makes my legs hurt" and when they can fuck for an hour and not complain about being tired
Personally I think standard calf raises, squats, Cossack variant squats, and side leg raises all using body weight are the key to good legs.
