I was wondering if It was a good idea to do squats then leg press in the same day? Is there a negative effect of doing both and doing them both very hard?

It is most definitely fine, if you know what you're doing. Just remember which ever one you put last will suffer, you will not be able to put as much as you could of done into the that lift if you did it fresh.

I've always felt like leg press is over rated as a compound exercise. It's a good exercise, but doesn't compare to squats, RDL's, or lunges. But you can absolutely do them in the same workout. I start with squats, then lunges or RDL's, and then I'll do Leg Press 3rd before going to isolation exercises.
I think a lot of people just like doing leg press so much because they can stack more plates on and feel macho. Then of course they have to leave all those plates on for someone else to take off. Always annoying.Mike Esparza

Agreed with mike, leg press is okay but stick to primal movement patterns and not fixed ranges of motion for extended periods of time. Squats, deadlifts, chins, the basics and you can get a strong and muscular physique that way. And put the most neurologically complex exercise at the beginning of the workout, so squats first, then isolation exercises.

"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
