Neither 135lb front squats nor deficit deadlifts will be better for leg mass than the leg press. [/quote]
x2
leg press is great, although its annoying to set up if you have strong legs. plus it gets strong very fast and theres a lot of ways you can use it, all of them good and painful
Thank you guys. As I don’t have a trap bar i will use the snatch grip deadlift as a main exercise (my legs hurt after for days after doing it) and the leg press as an assistance. I also pull sumo so i don’t think it will go that bad without squats. We’ll se.
No such thing. Just do leg press and deadlifts in the mean time.
What do you mean? I just said that I would do dl variations and use the leg press as an assistance. The max weight of the leg press at my gym is like 400, so I can’t use it as a main exercise.

I was responding to the OP.

Can you do 3x20 reps with one leg with 400?
If no, you can use it as a primary exercise. Then do front squats with all you can clean without locking out, snatch grip deficit deads and some other stuff.
Thank you for the help. What do you think of this routine?
Day A-Sumo deadlift 1x5, Overhead Press 3x5, Pendlay Row 3x5, Chins 3x5, abs+back extensions
Day B-Snatch dl deficit 3x5, Bench Press 3x5, Power clean 5x3, Dips 3x5, abs+back extensions
Each training session the lifts go up by 5 lbs.
Where would you add the leg press?

From what you wrote up, I would add them after either sumo deads or pendlay rows on Day A.
