What do you think is the better exercise. Squats or the Leg Press you know where you sit down and push. Im now able to squat 80 kilos which has come on well but manage loads more then this on the press. Is it Best to keep on squatting on ditch them for the Leg Press type machine.

you can press more because youre not pressing your BW with it whereas a squat its your BW + whatevers on your back. i prefer the squat personally

You don't HAVE to squat, and you don't HAVE to leg press but, the squat is pretty close!

Squats are FAR superior.
