Default Squats/Leg Press

Ok I have started a new program..And I was wondering..
I dont have access to Squats but i do to the Leg Press Machine.

Do you guys think i could replace Squating for Leg Press?

Leg pressing would be a very weak replacement in my opinion, but it would be better than nothing. Can you not buy some weights to squat, or get to a gym or something?

depends on the leg press--
certain machines set it up so that the excercise works your leg just as much as squats do, you can just do more weight

I disagree with you the vjb contains some light and effective programs fo' begginers. Like their begginer plyometric program, and the other one which is a bit harder but kelly ( the author of this book) recommends fo' guys who dont have strength but they have a bit experience in plyos for example they did the begginer one.
Contrary, the intermidiate plyos are recommended for guys who squat 1,5x of their bodyweight.But i know guys(4 or 5) who did not have so much strength and they gained around 6+ and one of them he gained 5 in week 5( i can prove it).
Sometimes plyometric is a good way of training for every athlete and as kelly says if havent gain 2-3+ in the end of third week from a plyometric program you should start a strength program because it detects your weakness.

to sum up, plyometric is a miraculous , thaumaturgic and the most popular training for sprinters and jumpers.

You can definately not replace Squatting by Leg Press.
