because more range of motion and more emphasis on the teardrop part of the quads
fact or fallacy?
in short, is there a bb advantage to front squats over leg press?

I thought OMR neutered you?

Fronts are good for more front of quad period. Good for bodybuilding.

yeah i quit back squats after listening to louis simmons lecture on squats and i connected the dots
that frontsquat are the best?
but somehow it easily injures the upper spine

No homo, I can squat my ass off. Always had big quads naturally and don't need much to get much. Squats are ok but I got alot more out of front squats. I guess it depends on how you're built

that is true for everybody
it's simple
the more upright your torso stays in a squat the more knee extention dominant the move is
the more forward the torso, the more hip extention dominant the move is
because of this the stresses shift to the most dominant hinge point
so a back squat (and even more so a low bar back squat) will build the thigh close to the hips
and a front squat will build the thigh close to the knees

HACK SQUATS,,,

Full-squats ＝ king of excercises !

squat and press are an alchimie for big and strong leg
if i do only squat, the strength skyrocket but my leg are less big and less complete.
press only don't give me the hard work and the muscle soreness the squat gives.
so squat + press is the best.

in what order is advisable?
squat=>leg press for maximal gainz
leg press => squat for joint and spine

its all the running away from the police

Front Squats are great, but they hurt my knees, so I don't do them all the time. I switch them up with box squats. I also do old-school barbell hack squats one week and switch those with leg press the next. I think I get the most out of the front squats and barbell hacks. It all comes down to what works best for you.

running is posterior chain, quads only needed for slowing down

:P that's all this guy used to do.ass to ankles.

whats jewellery got to do with it?

The best shape my legs were in was doing nothing but squats, front squats, and sissy squats. Followed by sprints. No leg extension/leg press. Just anecdotal and personal opinion that squats > leg press.
-
your body structure and limb length and all kinds of variables and simply not important just take more steroids
-
Front Squats are best the exercise there is takes the low back out.
-
I never squat, makes no difference at all.

just cant go to near failure with heavy weights or i often tweak my upper spine
-
i think we are in agreement squats and front squats give better gains than leg press?
but worth the spinal injury risk?
a lot of people's spines are not even perfectly straight to start with
loading 400lbs+ barbells on it seems not advisable, no matter how "cool" it feels

x1000 that's it, no other leg exercises are needed. Me, I love leg press and hate squats, but do them both. My kids ask me to flex my legs if I wear shorts, they think all those weird muscle ropes are funny.... ;)

High bar back squats are the best option, more weight potential and you can do much higher reps than front squats because thoracic tightness can b maintained longer than with fronts.
No need to ever go over 315 if bbing Is your aim.

Quite the opposite for me, sometimes I would get minor knee pain with back squats but never with front squats. Guess it depends on structure/build.
I prefer front squats but I usually alternate front and back squats every other workout.

there are more factors then just this simple answer but the shorter you are the more you generaly benefit from squats and lot of pressing movements which most high level athletes are not short. Everyone benefit just once you get close to genetic limits they become much more dangerous and not practical.
-
If you're a drug free trainer/bodybuilder you don't need to worry about that.
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I used to squat once a week, now I squat every workout. >200kg ATG olympic squat, here I come.

High rep squats are straight from hell, but they'll build your legs into tree trunks.
-
I agree, high rep squats are the best.
Sure, leg presses are fine, but don't confuse it with the real thing.

No, low reps. Why is it pointless?

"all CNS and tendons"
sure you get some muscle gains as well but you could get better gains with less weight and more reps

Then use less weight, less sets & reps, & less effort in order to achieve your goals.

What goals? I wanna lift big weights. That's my goal. My goal is to squat, bench and deadlift more than anybody in my weight class.

I have the trophies in a back bedroom when I need dust them pisses me off, just something else to take care of but would not take them back alot of memories right there.

Why? Why wouldn't I do what I like?
I work normal job to get money. Why do I show off my muscles? Because I like them. They're not my goal and I have enough muscle mass for me which I gained through strength training. I do not need more and I easily maintain and even gain some through the same training that created them.

Bad memories ? ;D
Something you earned...you guys go through a lot of sacrifice for those trophies.

I wish I could pat you on the back right now.

I've never really done front squats before, but this thread has me intrigued. I think I will try them tonight since it's quad day.

"aesthetic legs"? Do you mean "no legs"?
-
I found leg presses built bigger legs but was much harder on the knees, at the time I didn't squat though and overall development was slowed as a result I think
For squats I use a wider powelifter stance, never had the flexibility for the olympic version and this allowed me to do the squats and eventually gain flexibility to do the closer stance.
But still prefer wider stance even though isolates legs less.

Leg muscles are small or average or big. That's it. Aesthetics are genetics.

Agree, not all of us have Platzanian genetics, but again, how would someone define/describe "aesthetic legs"?
