Leg press is for faggots and faggots. Real men squat the weight like humans were meant to.

I do squats first and finish it off with leg press to failure.

You're not squatting enough if you're still able to do leg press.

Ever hear of Mark Ripptoe? Your thoughts on him?

Sounds like a guy who has the right idea.

"There is simply no other exercise, and certainly no machine, that produces the level of central nervous system activity, improved balance and coordination, skeletal loading and bone density enhancement, muscular stimulation and growth, connective tissue stress and strength, psychological demand and toughness, and overall systemic conditioning than the correctly performed full squat."

I agree in most cases, as squats work the majority of the body in ways that leg presses cannot.

However some people have back or knee issues that make squats a bit risky. Leg press also is good if you want to focus on specific muscles and muscle groups (bodybuilder types).
