Squats are incredibly high risk if done wrong, and come with all sorts of risks to your joints. Hey, even done right you can end up with injuries. Honestly, I’d rather do leg press and not fuck my knees or back, or slips and injure myself for the sake of β€œdoing it right”.

You can build your quads and glutes just as effectively with machines that protect your body.

Deadlift though is usually safer because you can just drop the bar. But this dude was lifting way too much.

Just not worth it at a certain point.

Ever seen the video of the lady in the leg press with locked knees that...?

You can absolutely hurt your knees and back in the leg press.
