Leg press involves no co-ordination, squat does.

So naturally you increase dramatically to start with, as you do with any exercise because of neurological adaption, but when co-ordination involves its even greater.

The most hilarious improvements are with front squats, where I first had to start with about 20% of my back squat weight because my co-ordination was so poor with them, and then was about 75% in 2 weeks. Front squats are now my favorite exercise too

Make sure you use proper technique. Unless you are fully aware of perfect technique then chances are you also got lazy with it. You might have started doing full squats 3 weeks ago and eased up to 90 degree knee position exercises(I refuse to call anything without proper depth a squat)

Agree................................

Perfect form and deep squats will do more for leg development.

Also, if you go too heavy too fast, you could do yourself an injury.

Good on you for taking up squats though, decent weight to be working with.

well i go a bit lower than 90 degre is that ok not much lower but a bit.

 

[tehkevroy]

Well my brother say I go to 90 degre when he looks me doing squat ... so I guess 90 is that ok?

 

[NJL52]

Hips below knees is what you are aiming for.

 

[tehkevroy]

oh ok so a bit less than 90 degre I guess ill lower the weighs and do it as it need to be done .

 

[silver_shadow]

you have to break 90 degrees at the very least. the lower you go below 90 degrees, the better IMHO.

all the way down if you're trying to build muscle, definitely below 90. yes it's normal to make those huge gains in the beginning, very satisfying
