I leg press all the time with injuries. I typically agree with Brandon, but this time....cant say I do.

I disagree on both counts. The power shrug, and the rack pull and power shrug combo have been exercises I have used frequently over the years. I think they can be a good tool for some, and are much easier to recover from. I used them on my light days last year, when I was pulling 3x a week. I also did a lot of heavy shrugs the year my deadlift moved from 565 to 675. I was really only doing shrugs, high pulls with 50% max, and high rep sumo deads. They have provided value at times over the years.
Regarding leg press, some people have weak quads and find them hard to build with squats. I've talked to a few lifters who squat yet don't have amazing quad strength. I see no harm in using the leg press, maybe 15-20 rep sets, to blast the quads and try and bring up overall quad strength.

As JB said, I've used the leg press since my back attack a year ago, along with a modified SLDL, as my primary leg builders. 28.5" quad currently.
But what do I know? The whole "my lifting is more manly than your lifting" reveals some deep seeded insecurities if you ask me (in general and in this instance).

At the end of the day, I think he is refering to people who brag about how big their leg press numbers are, or shurgs. Rather than focus on the goal of the movement.

I get a bit trigger happy over some of the bully-style comments that occur in powerlifting. If you do X you're an effing whatever. Too much of that going on. I assumed Mr. Lilly was simply on the attack in this manner.

in high school i was able to leg press 1000lbs,knees to chest for reps.....not going squat anywhere near that.
as for shrugs, i agree. most guys shrugging more than they pull aren't really shrugging, they are trying to hump the bar into a 1" rom |
