Read Starting strength. That should clear up any misunderstandings

Which could have been avoided by following one simple rule: don't fucking lock your knees

Form form form form form form form

Don't slap as much weight as you can on the bar trying out compound lifts. Build up your stabilizer muscles with lower weights, perfect your form, you'll be squatting heavy weight soon.

You are correct about the inclination. If it's 45 degrees, then you are pushing .707 of the weight loaded. But remember, the sled is pretty heavy too; maybe 100 lbs.

i experienced the opposite, highly reccomend getting a decent belt as i feel that helped

did leg press like you while not squatting until i could move like 250kg for 10 deep reps

went back to squatting with a good tight belt and found myself squatting 130kg for 5 reps

>Can do 700 pounds x 15 reps
no you can't, I squat twice what you do and I can't do that or anything even close to it

if you had performed the exercise correctly instead of doing 1/100th rom you may have gotten something out of it

There's different kinds of leg press machines that have different loads
The 3 at my gym are all different angles and lmao4pl8 on one of them is the same difficulty as lmao8pl8 on another

That sounds fine to me. 220lbs for 5 shitty reps having done nothing but leg press is pretty good
Leg press is fine for extra volume without extra fatigue from squats, but it's not really gonna add much to your squat at all. It's more for hypertrophy

squats are a compound exercise. you did an accessory exercise for half a year and expected it to translate performance wise to an exercise that utilizes so much more than just your quads? get on the squat train. squat every session. back squats, front squats, zerchers, goblet squats, pause squats (one of my favorites). do em all.

>user wants to stop falling for memes
>suggest Starting Strength to him

DEVILISH

Seriously. Why don't we at least put up like Greg Nuckols stuff or the Juggernaut stuff?

i've never encountered one that easy before, the 45 degree plate loaded ones are probably the best and 4 plates on each side with those is legitimately challenging for high reps

>but it's not really gonna add much to your squat at all

not if you aren't also squatting sure, but getting bigger stronger quads can definitely move your squat up

wait, squats ARE dangerous?

no there's absolutely nothing that can go wrong with 405lbs on your back, it's literally not possible to get injured

You didn't develop the core strength, glutes, balance, and lat strength require for squats

Why is this even remotely surprising

Just don’t be weak lmoa

More for form than a routine

Why people do leg press instead of front squat is beyond me
