Squat to Leg Press Calculator
The leg press and squat exercises are both lower body movements that target the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. However, they are different exercises with distinct movement patterns and muscle recruitment. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately convert the weight lifted in a leg press to the equivalent weight in a squat but we can estimate the number that will help you achieve your squatting and leg press goals.
Leg Press to Squat Conversion Formula
To convert the Squats to Leg presses, we will be using the below-mentioned metrics:
A = the angle of the leg press
SF = the force of the squat
LF = the force of the leg press
BW = the weight of the person
To find the SF, we will be using a trigonometric equation to solve this equation: Sin(A) = SF/LF, or in other wo...
