@johnk_12 Ive tried barbell rows and im not a fan. For back I do cable rows, machine rows, lat pulldown, shrugs and cable rear delt flies. Machine rows allow for the wider grip that my cable rows are missing.

@johnk_12 I do narrow cable rows with other machine back exercises instead of bent over rows. Is that good ? Thanks for the other info.

@oregongirl1 Though even though the grip targets more of the upper back, the lats will always be targetted the most right ?

@oregongirl1 Thank you. I was thinking this

@shawndude For leg strength and leg hypotrophy. Im assuming squats build more overall body strength but would it build more leg strength ? I think its the same no ?

@shawndude But what if your doing bodybuilding like training and already training every muscle group (including upper body ones) twice a week. Doesnt that make the extra strength benefits of squats redundant ? Maybe squats benefit atheletes that dont really work on or focus on their upper body...

@shawndude When you say strength. Do you mean squatting strength or overall strength. Does squats make me stronger as an individual in comparison to leg press ?

@533th3r So I tried today but when I tried to row the wide grip one into my abs, the bar would touch me before I contracted properly. Now im thinking I shouldve just rowed into my chest instead of abs.

@533th3r So a close grip one and a wide grip one ?

@jmcali What do you do for your legs then ? Or is it genetic ?

Is it a good idea for a guy who hates the positioning of the Barbell Row and constantly thinks about his form. However I know Seated Cable Row will target more of my lats in comparison to the rest. Heck the one in my gym says it only targets Lats...

@gennadi What are the sacrifices ? A hit to my core or CNS ?

@dawn16 Isnt two quad movements a workout enough ? Wouldnt three be overworking them ?

@dawn16 Why not ?

@dawn16 I mean I do leg extension as well. Im hoping that with leg press should reap me some good quad gains.

@luxaeterna Very deep. My butt touches my feet. Thats why its an insane cardio exercise for me. If I ever pick up squats again as a complimentary exercise, Ill be doing jump squats with lighter weight and half Rom. Only for the atheltic benefits.

@savedbygrace123 Ive done both Smith Squats and normal Squats. I hate both lol. My balance goes horrible in a barbell squat and in a Smith Squat....I just feel nothing. Its basically a cardio exercise not a Quad one. My gym doesnt have a hack squat....so Leg Press is my only friend. There are a...

@chevygirl1990 I mean do slow and controlled negatives. When I mean I rep faster....I mean I dont take 5-10 secs break inbetween reps due to being out of breath. Thats what happens when I squat.

@confusedgirl98 Ive felt more in more quads in a leg press than a squat. Probably cause I can reps faster, meaning the quads are under more tension. Ive only felt this way in a leg extension as well.

I dont really have a big reason why I dont wanna squat anymore. I feel like I waste so much stamina that my quads dont even get stimulation. I usually end up dreading Leg day because of the squats. Pushing my knees out when im going low also feels wrong for me. In general I feel like I do it...
