Question
Do squats work the same muscles as the leg press?
Im getting ready for the football season and i am lifting in my school weight room. I know that squats are very helpful but i really dislike them and was wondering if the leg press works as well as doing squats.
Answer
Not really. Squats, by using free weights, tone your stabilizing muscles in addition to your quads, as well as train your brain to coordinate your muscles to balance heavy things. The leg press on the machine will isolate your quads and only work them. If you do only the machine press, you will probably end up strong but unstable when it comes to pushing people around on the field.
