Squats are better than Leg Press for Real-World Strength

I'm not sure I even want to know what that means.
Not sure Louie Simmons or other powerlifting routines would be popular here, but as a PL fan it sure seems odd one would even try and compare Squats to Leg Press' benefits. Used to follow a Westside inspired routine around 2002, with good results. Came back lifting over 1 year ago and looked into 5/3/1 for powerlifting variations that seemed very popular, it's been a disaster for bench press, although Squat and DL seemed to work much better. I like the short rep design of both routines btw but worth of note Louis Simmons seems now to encourage his lifters to do some very high reps sets on some assistance exercises.

Yes, PED's and youth may be required to keep up with routines as prescribed.
Borrowing and practicing some basic strength principles would seem to, in time,
put to rest the debate over seated presses and squats. Has anyone evidence
that seated leg presses will stress the CNS to adaptation and overall body growth?
I dont mean to imply I could/would practice this method at this stage.
I'm leaning toward yoga, sans cats, as well and other methods.
By reading Simmons and Tate you are leaning toward the camp of stressing the CNS hence
entire body to an adaptive response vs. isolation movements(machine quad presses).
Glute, ham and quad balance( leg press?) are a pursuit of these quys as well and are functional
carry overs to life....IMO.

Can I add that to my resume?If this is the real deal it's interesting. Either way, I'll buy into the movement part.
