Squats are massively overrated.
Low bar squatting makes my arse blow uo and quads atrophy.
Squats are massively overrated.
wow?
I wouldnt say massivly overated but there more of an apprenticeship to leg mass. Now my knees n lower back get too much of a work out. For many years I was too macho and stuck in that u must squat crap. Squats are great but the average person cant do them forever.
Squatting is the best all over exercise you can do for strength but you should be mixing it up and doing plenty of oly squatting or front squatting. I suck at both so neglect them. Wish I had a leg press at home to bash the fuck outta my quads and calves.
I like the way this forum has evolved...
strength vs bb training...
Squat vs leg press...
I farkin hate the leg press and don't like using it...
Squats has been a mission to learn but they have improved my mobility and significantly improved my lower back and all round functionality...
I will look to include leg press some time in the future...

You should never drop squatting period, its the king of lifts. Low bar squatting won't give you big quads though, well at least it won't for me. The low bar squat works the arse, hammies and back. When I start getting on a leg press my quads start blowin g up straight away.
Spose it all depends on your goals, if you want big legs low bar squats need to be supplemented. If you just want to squat the most weight possible well then squat more, still having bigger quads won't hurt.
All the really big pl squatters do alot of front/zercher/oly squats to get the quads going.
can't list a reason other then its what coach rip does...
strength vs bb training...same thing.
Squat vs leg press.... Different animals.
I've watched forums for many years and I've seen the squat evolve into the darling of exercise.
And as usual, like everything we go from one extreme the other.
