Is there any reason to do squats instead of leg presses?

squat is a compound exercise thus requires more overall strength and balance between various joints and muscles. leg press is just working your quads and glutes in isolation.

I've seen dudes who load up the leg press with 3pl8 but can't hit depth on a squat with 1pl8. just do both to make sure you have core and leg strength

Is there any reason to do leg presses instead of squats?

Yes, being a cunt that doesn't want to have legs the easiest and most effective way.

Both are good, squats are better. I used to lift a shitload on the leg press and do the stack on leg extensions. My legs were okay but when I switched over to having a home gym and now squats are the only leg exercise I do, my legs are significantly bigger and better looking and I never squat over 315 because of back issues.

Squats are tough and they wear you out because they work your entire body. With leg press you just sit there and push weight away from you with your legs. It's fine to skip squats because you don't like them, but you will get better results from squats.

I see people at my gym lock their knees at low weight and I'm scared that I'm going to be there when they finally snap

I don't get this webm, I can easily press maximum weight on leg press and I don't feel much pressure at all in my joints. Granted that is 450 lbs at my gym and I don't know if other leg presses go much higher.
My legs aren't exceedingly developed and I can not understand how frail her bones have to be for that to happen.
How much weight did she load?

she locked her knees. you're putting all the weight on your joints at that point

If you actually want to be strong and coordinated while doing one of the human body's most natural movements, you should primarily squat.

If you're a pussy, you should just leg press.

I never realized it before, but Destiny is a fucking kike isn't he. No wonder he's so obsessed with ranting about how he loves niggers in 1st world countries.

locking out your knees on the leg press is bad form for anyone obviously, but she is probably completely under-trained and at a lot more risk.

if someone does squats with good form for a long time and then locks out their knees on the leg press a couple of times that's probably not gonna happen to them.. their joints are much stronger, but regardless, it's always much rougher on the joints to have that kind of bad form.

they should really have a PSA about it or something. people like the girl in that webm are the reason others are afraid of gyms.

This. I'm doing 100kg+ leg press after 2 months of lifting in a cut.
How can you leg press 100kg for a year?

what are you talking about, destiny is a skinhead.

right now he's putting on an act as a fake sjw in order to sabotage the left as a literal strawman. even he's not stupid enough to believe a modicum of what he says
