AUTom Platz is known for having arguably the best leg development in bodybuilding history, and here is his opinion on squats vs leg press.
I love his opinion as it comes from absolute authority AND it confirms my bias, but as a coach and as an educator, I’ve learnt that it’s ok to have biases, but it’s more important to have an open mind, and to not speak or teach in absolutes.
Unfortunately there is an increase in popularity of modern day personal trainers teaching people that squats (amongst many of our favourite barbell exercises) are BAD and are inferior to machine exercises like leg presses, and usually without context.
Here’s my OPINION. Squats are the king of lifts. They build muscle. They build strength. They build mental fortitude. I love doing them, and they have been the motivation for myself and so many people to train hard and achieve outstanding results.
Are they the best exercise for quadriceps development? For some people they may be, and for others, machine exercises are simply better.
There is no single answer because everyone has different goals as well as different skill levels, different bone lengths, different proportions and different levels of mobility.
Definitive statements without context are an effective way to spread a message, but it doesn’t make that message true.
Like most debates, the pendulum swings both directions and the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
The squat AND the leg press are both valuable tools that can both be extremely helpful, and both with different outcomes. Neither are better or worse and can both be used together to create great results.
If I was to pick a side, I’d go with team Platz (team squats) and if you disagree, that’s totally fine, you’re just a pussy…. Ok calm down, that was joke and an example of exactly what I’m talking about.
But if people are allowed to claim that squats are bad and leg presses are better, I’m definitely entitled to a different opinion, and Tom Platz the quadzilla himself is most definitely entitled to give his.

OPNever give up on your dreams.
Tom Platz (born June 26, 1955) is an American professional bodybuilder, coach, and motivational speaker, widely known for having some of the most legendary leg development in bodybuilding history. He won the IFBB Mr. Universe title in 1980 and gained worldwide recognition for his intense training philosophy and dedication to pushing beyond mental limits. In one of his motivational seminars, he shared a powerful message about dreams and persistence: if a person gives up on their dream, they are left with nothing meaningful to strive for. According to Platz, dreams give direction, purpose, and the drive to endure hardship. His message encourages people to hold onto their goals with determination, because once a dream is abandoned, the motivation and passion that fuel growth and achievement disappear as well.

SWTom Platz and the Most Extreme Squat Mindset Ever 👀💥
Tom Platz didn’t just train legs.
He engineered the environment to destroy them.
He used his own custom bar slightly bent on purpose so it locked onto his back and forced pure quad domination. No rolling. No shifting. No escape.
Why?
Because he wasn’t training for numbers.
He was training for muscle.
Low-bar, powerlifting squats build leverage.
High-bar squats build legs that look like they don’t belong on a human body.
Platz understood something most lifters still miss:
Bodybuilding and powerlifting are different sports.
If your goal is physique, stop chasing lifts made for strength athletes.
Train the muscle. Not the ego.

MITom Platz - "If you give up on your dreams, What do you have left? Nothing, I can't live that way."
Tom Platz (born June 26, 1955), nicknamed "The Quadfather" or "Golden Eagle," is a retired American professional bodybuilder famed for his unprecedented leg development in the 1970s-80s golden era. Starting with skinny legs at age 15, he transformed through obsessive high-rep squats, powerlifting records, and training at Gold's Gym, winning Mr. Universe middleweight (1977) and turning pro. A nine-time Mr. Olympia top-10 finisher (3rd in 1981), he never claimed the title but revolutionized leg training standards still emulated today.

ENIn the early 1980s Tom Platz was becoming one of the most intense and respected bodybuilders in the world. His leg development was already legendary, and his training style pushed pain tolerance to levels most athletes couldn’t imagine.
But around 1981, during a critical period in his career, he experienced something deeply personal that shook him outside the gym.
According to stories he later shared, Platz discovered that his girlfriend at the time had cheated on him. What made the situation even more shocking was that the person involved was reportedly someone very close to him — one of his own training partners.
For a bodybuilder, a training partner is not just a friend. It’s someone you trust with your heaviest lifts, someone who pushes you through brutal workouts and shares the daily grind of competition prep.
The betrayal hit hard.
But instead of letting it break his focus, Tom Platz did something that many great athletes learn to do with adversity.
He turned it into fuel.
Platz has often talked about how emotional pain can be transformed into training intensity. For him the gym was not just a place to build muscle, but a place to process life, frustration, and setbacks.
That mindset is part of what made his training style so legendary. The brutal squat sessions, the endless intensity, the refusal to quit — all of it came from a mentality built through both victories and struggles.
Stories like this remind people that behind the iconic physiques of the Golden Era were real human experiences that shaped the athletes we still talk about decades later.
For Tom Platz, discipline and resilience were never just words. They were a way to survive difficult moments and come back stronger.
