Van Bilderass - just curious....why do you do deeper squats if you find them less effective for growth?
And what do you think is the optimal ROM of leg presses for overall development?
Because I'm mostly just trying to increase my deadlift and do them as an accessory lift. Mostly paused for 1-2 seconds since the deadlift starts from a dead stop.
I think best depth has to do with structure. Deep worked great for Platz since he sat up very straight. I think my back, hams, and glutes take over the lift due to flexibility issues. Front squats would be the best form for growth for me probably.
My form looks a bit like this. The best deadlifter ever (IMO) squatting 660lbs. Relatively small quads.
I never really did angled leg presses. Never felt I could get a good range of motion. Didn't feel good overall.
