"Anthony Dream Johnson", I was expecting a black dude, and I get this -

I feel like Drexl when he finds out who Clarence Worley is....

This clown looks like just bar alone would break him. I could give him 10 reasons to not ever write anything about training again lets alone squatting just based twink picture and should sure as hell have the shit slapped out him for calling himself "Dream". I would love to introduce to my friend Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.

He probably has an article about 10 reasons why nobody should train chest or biceps either.

We get it, the squat is hard to train and hard to learn compared to most other exercises. It is however a tried, true and proven exercise and if you dislike it you can simply avoid the power-rack/squat rack and stick to doing leg presses or whatever other easier, less technical lift you desire.

The squat is a great exercise but not only the back squat. i find Front squats better for ME because i have heavy thighs and i find front squats hit my quads much better than back squats. My Glute hip area is well devoped with Deadlits. I do like Leg press too. It all fits together. A great exercise is lunges ala.. njflex (steve) doing them on stairs ;D

Squats are great, though I just like to keep the load lighter and do 10X10.

I just read a study done by NASA that rated the squat as the most beneficial exercise of any single exercise in terms of keeping muscle mass in zero G because it engages the most muscles in the most efficient manner.

You must be trolling.

Squatting in zero G? Hmmm, I can squat 10,000 in zero G. On one leg.

NASA is all about bands.

Maybe its cuz I'm 6'4 but the regular leg press are torture on my back. The hammer strength leg press doesnt hurt but only my home gym has it.

Hammer strength is great, I used one that was unilateral allowing one leg at a time.

Nope.

Here is how they squat in Zero G.

Maybe you're trying to force the ROM? Im about the same size as you and I had the same problem until I realized the ROM for the leg press isn't all that large. Just go down right before your back starts to bend and it'll be all on your legs. When I first started lifting I tried to go all the way down and realized that it takes some load off your legs and puts it on your lower back.

The problem with my gym is they have a leg press with the platform that is straight and diagonal, and my size 14.5 clown shoes can't fit on either one

Since doing 1 legged leg press, I've gotten better results. Easier on the back, and the weight is more than cut in half than with 2 legs at a time. Not good if you're an ego lifter though. Still do squats sometimes. I've got a long torso to leg ratio so it's tough to go super deep. It's like anything, do what works for your body type.
