- In a few weeks I'm going to start a new cycle in which I'll be using leg
- presses instead of squats. I was wondering what is considered
- proper/safe foot placement, and how different placements might effect
- different areas of the quads.
-
- My experience from squats is that they tend to build thickness (on top
- of the muscle) as opposed to width (I guess this is usually called
- sweep, and is developed by hack squats). Just wondering how leg presses
- influence shape.

- Thanks,
- Ryan
