test production in any exercise is very minimal and does nothing to contribute to overall muscle development. very small fluctuations within normal physiological range, makes no difference

You're saying one leg press is different from other leg presses?
I mean yea that's basic physics, but in general they are the same.
None of that should matter though, as long as you're getting a good workout, right?

I know everyone says do squats but whats so great about it?
Is it really better than doing my leg routine than doing my back routine?
Im not convinced that squats are amazing and live up to their hype.
I made this thread hoping someone could tell me something i dont know about them.

For all of you who squat do you never touch leg press?
If you've done/do both how much do you do?

The last time I did leg press was probably 4 years ago. At the time I was able to 1rm squat in the 350 ballpark. For leg press I could load it with 500lbs of weight (5x 45s + 25 a side) and do 3 sets of 10 reps without issue or failure

I do not touch leg press. I find it to be a sub par exercise for my goals and doesn't work the muscles to the level of a squat.
