I know the leg press is frowned upon by many on this forum. I like it because with the weight I'm squatting I don't feel it in my quads much. Thankfully my knees are fine,but I feel that if I put more weight on the sqt bar I wil fold over and it would become a GM sqt. It may be because I'm squatting with the Saftey Bar. I use it because I can't hold a straight bar on my back, even high bar and sqt at all. Hopefully I will be able to correct this with some shoulder stretches.

Hi Jerry

I've been digitally away for a while, but still lifting. How's life treating you?

Decided to add a back off set to the sqts to get a little more volume

[pkelly54]

I think the addition of the back off set is good. IMO the best results need about 15 reps in the work set weights ( 75% and up of your max work set). Good luck.
