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

OK I'll try that. I do go pretty deep.

you're just finding evidence to support your fear of doing them because they are hard.

The real reason why guys don't squat has nothing to do with injuries.  Squatting is hard work and most avoid hard work. Most guys love lying on a padded bed pushing a weight then do a couple curls calling it a day.

Seek help you are desperately cruising message boards looking for confrontation because you don't challenge yourself outside this make believe world you live in. A piece of you is dying everytime you post.

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

I bought a Hammer Strength leg press for my garage last month, fantastic bit of kit especially if you loop a band around it and go slowly.

That and front squats are pretty much all I do now

Making fun of someone's physical appearance is something an adolescent does.

I remember when I was going through puberty...
