Barbell compound lifts such as squats are the most effective and efficient way to gain strength. These lifts allow people to train an enormous amount of muscle through a full range of motion using the heaviest weight possible within a natural movement pattern. There is nothing that will make your legs as strong as training them with full squats, for example.

Well, according to Mr. Gorbag, you gain more strength by doing the leg press. So long as you pick the leg press as the measure of strength. I think that's his main argument here. Personally, I'll probably just keep on squatting and deadlifting.

I wouldn't waste your time arguing with Gorbag on anything strength related - he's been half-squatting for the past 35 years:

Just let him live in his world of specific strength, massive leg presses, and half-squats, he's strong in his own special way.

What, another bro-scientist joining us talking about "strength" or "general strength" without defining it!

Define "strength" and give us an adequate testing protocol, that's far better than endless bro discussions of an abstract concept of 'strength'. And yes, it is not uncommon to scientifically test of "leg strength" by doing one-legged press, or even leg-extensions, so what does that tell us about the concept of "strength"?

Contortionism is much underrated.

Gorbag, I've defined strength for you before. What happened was you had nothing to say, and you resorted to personal attacks and withdrew from the argument. Why would I bother going down the same road again?

It makes for a fabulous circus act though.

Halfsquatting??? I squat to the paralell though, just as the guy in the video below! Yes, I am not very proud of my squatting, it sucks, but it is not that poor as the guy below though, I can also squat 315 for 10 reps so go figure LOL:

You've been half-squatting for the past 35 years - your own words. You can argue with yourself if that's true or not.

By the way, Rip does not squat "to the parallel".

Indeed.
