I have been doing both lately just to get a feel but I am starting to think that the leg press is better,

I noticed as I am going heavier with squats (120kg+) I am starting to get funny feelings in my knees/lower back, I have had my form checked by multiple trainers and they say it's AOK, do you guys think it'd be a bad idea to drop the squats and just go super super heavy on the leg press for 3 sets? I just dont know if squats are for me?

So far I plan on.

Leg press OR squats
Deadlifts
Calf raises
Hamstring curls

What do you guys/gals think?

Cheers, Morgs.
