A good exercise, some depending on design emphasize the hip, while other allow one to go much deeper (safely) compared to the squat.

if you ever feel strain in the low back or itchy afterwards , consider how you perform the movement, more often than not you shouldn’t actually sit on the seat pad.

with a lighter than usual weight (to test this) position your butt at the bottom of the back-rest, the force-then- is moved to the hip and away from the lower back, but this doesn’t mean you relax the torso, still maintain rigidity there as always.

if you try this let me know, I’m interested.

i think this is why the leg press gets left behind
 
Doing leg press tomorrow.
I’ll let you know.........................where you’re going wrong. ��
 
Stopped squats since I bought my leg Press.
Training at home for years doing squats almost exclusively has given me turnip thighs.
Muscle up high and little around the teardrop (around the knee).

I have a leg press, it's a 45 degree incline, I very rarely use it, prefer squats any day.

Never noted the issue that you mention, but then again I am not into body building, so perfect symmetry and muscle development don't really come into it for me.
