Who Uses Squats & Variations Exclusively To Build Legs???

[Texas Ranger]

Does anyone use only Squats and variations as their primary Quad movement to work legs? Variations(ie. Front Squats, Lunges, Barbell Hacks, etc...)

Good call! I don't do front squats that often but squat (ass to calves) and hack squat (90 degree) are the heat! Hate not being able to walk out of the gym.......but love not being able to walk out of the gym!!!! By the way, I use the same machine and face the same direction.

i agree my main execise is squats or front squats and only do hacks after..they hurt your hips for a reason..its either a form issue or you have weak hips..guys at westside use this power squat machine a lot so it must do something...lol

i use the power squat machine, i was talking about the one where u lay ur back on a pad and ur at like a 45 degree angle and u squat down. some people call both a hack squat though.

the power squat made my hips stronger and taught me to squat lower.

they are similar i sometimes call it hacks too..the power squat also helped my deadlift a lot as well...

front squats
squats
barbell hacks
leg press

most of my leg days consist of these

I do extensions, hack squats and leg press. I want to drop about 20 lbs and strengthen my lower back before I start squating again.
