I used to think squats were overrated until I got stuck in a fuckface town and decided to become a homegym master.

Barbell squats, not even heavy squats, have made my legs so much bigger and look so much better. You really do just have to learn how to do them right and then gradually increase the weight OP. Stop being gay OP. You're so fucking gay OP. Squat already.

Why? Leg press and hacks squats feel miles better

They are the main exercises that the bodybuilders in my gym do

Squats just makes you more athletic in general

>>40051262
what kind of weight are we talking about? I'm squatting one plate deep

This.

I use to only do leg press and other machines for legs when I went to a local gym for several years.


Bought a home gym to save travel time and all Ive had access to for legs is squats, legs are far more developed since ive only been squatting. Haven't touched a leg press or machine in ages and my legs are very very nice.

>tfw long femurs
>tfw squats are awkward as fuck

Easy to say squats are good when you little cunts with your little manlet femurs can go up and down easily like a piston

How do your quads know the difference between stress caused by squatting and leg press? do you really think your muscle fibres give a fuck

>>40051236
obviously, just eat clean and train heavy

senpai humans have grown too much, the lanklets will all die of heart failure and cancer sooner than the manlets. We will impregnate your widowed wives until the entire human race is 5'7

I'm 6'4" with long af femurs. Wide stance improved it a little bit but still far from optimal. Still leaning too much forward hurting my lower back. Now I put my heels on babby plates, like half an inch thick, and it's night-and-day, squats actually feel natural now. Been doing them for 2 months now and the leg gainz are going great. Even when I do like half of the weight I used doing leg presses, the workout is way more intense.

Stretch your shins, use wider stance (despite what memers from here might say, wider stance doesn't somehow deprive you of gains). Or just buy yourself oly shoes.
As long as you go to parallel, you are golden. You can work your ass afterwards using goodmornings or straight leg pulls.
