Without a doubt squats are superior to leg lifts when it comes to leg development. Any movement where your whole body moves through space will benefit the body way more than sitting on a machine.
For example, a pushup would be superior to the bench press except for the fact that there is no real effective way to add progressive resistance to the push up. If there were some way to add 300 pounds to your back to do a push up, you would get far better development than doing a 300 pound bench press.
Pushups are always a closed chain movement for Chuck Norris.
No, no theyāre open chain. He pushes the earth down. smacks forehead :P[/quote]
I must have gotten the two mixed up. That was what I was trying to imply.

Interesting insight. If someone is avoiding the squat because theyāre less scared of the leg press, and not because they have found that leg press works better for building their legs, then yeah, thatās a poor reason not to squat.[/quote]
I donāt know about the rest of you but I have grown to fear the leg press almost as much as squats.
If you are strong and working hard on leg press the pain, difficulty, and fear factor is about as intense as it gets.
I have a question whatās better for protection a rock or a gun?

edit: no. forget it
Well,itās possible to squat with a ton of back involvement and take it easier on the legs. Depends on the strength of the legs relative to torso I guess. I guess thatās why press would be a good addition.
