that and i read somewhere about leg press versus squat thread....so....leg press versus squats..

any thoughts on those?

No on the leg press versus squats, this program works because although primarily a leg exercise, squats are an overall body exercise. Especially when one does 20 reps your entire body is taxed heavily, leg press would not have the same effect. I am doing a 20 rep squat routine now and it is very difficult, but a great program.

I currently do a simple 3x5 with squats, and then hit a 20 rep set on the LP.

20 rep squats are THE hardest thing you'll hope to do. Its dangerous though at heavy weight, when form goes to shit things can get scary. Plus the whole body tax is big - I usually cant take it. Thats where something like the LP comes in handy mixed with some heavy squatting its a win win.

agreed.....20 rep leg press is good stuff...easy on the knees too

I am currently doing squats in the rep range of 6-10

I used to do 20 rep squats and they would beat the shit out of me. You feel like you just got done sprinting a mile.

I use heavier weights now with the lower reps, but guess which program I saw the better growth with...


20 REP SQUATS!!!

If you can muster up the balls to rep out 20's, DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

Leg pressing barely touches my quads at all, so they are not a complete leg workout for me if used. 20 repper squats beat on my fucking spine, I dont like them myself.

Lately I dig the hacks because they do hit my quads hard, so I do them after my main leg movement.

20 rep squats 3 times a week looks deadly

admittedtly, the 155x20 that I did made me so sick, that the entire time after that, was hell for me. it's like...i could already go home after doing that. I mean, that could be it. my legs/back/abs and entire body is fucked the days after. so yeah, 166x20 coming up next this wednesday
