with increasing weights all the time

then at one point you squat again and can actually squat more since leg strength improved?


possible?

As previously stated, when you only use a 45lb plate on each side of the leg press its highly likely you aren't putting much weight on the bar.

Maybe a little bit but leg press won't allow you to feel the weight on the back/shoulders and spine. Regardless of how heavy you go on the leg press, 405 pounds on the squat will still feel as heavy on your shoulders as it did before the months of leg press if not heavier.

What if you unrack 600 lbs on your shoulders every week, but don't actually do squats?  Just to keep the feel of the heavy weight.

Hahaha there are guys that do that in my gym. When they rack the weight after not actually pressing it they shake their head and do a "No not today, something doesn't feel right about the bar" expression lol priceless

reminds me of a time when some fella was giving me shit about not squatting, and i said "look man, i've had 2 knee surgeries due to kneecap dislocations from playing b-ball" and he said, "so you're a pussy, i've had 3 surgeries on my right knee and 2 on my left" and then he promptly went to the squat rack, which was loaded with a 600 pound babell, and blasted out 10 good full reps :o :o :o

Not possible.

But you can increase your leg press by doing squats for months.

If for whatever reason you can not squat heavy, it's always best to do "20 rep breathing squats" with lighter weight:

he was a stand out "tight end" lol at a major Ohio university, till the knee injuries and surgeries ended his football career :'(

he could also bench over 600 pounds with a pause at the chest, strict bp style 8)

yeah, the dude was a fucking beast... 6'2" 240 @ 12-15% and a handsome blue-eyed blondie to boot SLURP! :P

Maybe he's injured? (I think he's lazy, too - but glass half full, you know)

OP, If you're going to insist doing that then put your feet lowish (or lowest) on the platform and do proper, full reps, at least.

I have way stronger hamstrings than quads and LP's are a breeze as the foot position rises.
