    This thread will not end well.
    No brain, no gain.

    "The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

    Leg press = fail unless you can't squat, squatting is better and less stressful.

    Squatting:

    1. You're not going all the way down, you're only doing 1/4 squats which is giving you no benefit. Start with a bare bar and get all the way down. If you can't squat a certain weight all the way down then you can't squat that weight, period. Also make sure you don't need to go to the bathroom before doing this with heavy weight.
    2. Lose the bitch pad.
    3. Bring your hands in closer together and squeeze your shoulder blades together, this bunches up the muscles on your back and traps and locks everything in to place so the weight rests on the muscles and not your bones so you don't need to use the pad.
    4. You have mobility issues. Push you knees out over your toes, they should be out around the same angle. Right now they appear to be pointed forward which is why you can't get all the day down, or at least part of the reason. Having your toes pointed out but your knees straight will also eventually eff up your knees or be a source of pain when it starts getting heavy.
    5. You're leaning too far forward, probably because of hip/ankle mobility and improper knee placement. Again, shoving your knees out will help fix this but if you're like most people then you'll need to do some mobility work for your other joints.

    Thanks for the feed back!! Leg presses are on my workout routine, so I do them. I do have mobility issues. Im a tall as lanky kid haha.
    I cant bring my arms in closer cause it hurts my left shoulder (Car accident injury). If I bring them in close I feel like the weight is gonna fall off the left side.
    Thanks for the reply though
