This may seem like a really simple question but for years I squatted week after week doing 495 for reps and built up 29 inch quads.
Then ripped both tendons off my knees 6 months ago.
Anyway now I've moved gym and with my knees recovering to about 70% I'm doing plate loaded leg press instead. Amazingly never used it for years and years.
Today I did 200kg x 12 reps.. Didn't feel that heavy but I was being careful. Unsure the weight comparison between leg press and squat? Maybe 2:1?
My issue is my legs have only really ever grown a lot from squats but I want to try leg press now .. Has anyone else had good results from leg press only ?
