Why would you have to use a machine to squat less than your body weight?

Hey stupid, it is completely impossible to do a squat using less than
your body weight.

Pete,
Instead of using hack squat or other machines you can do
exercises such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting
weights, for 45 to 60 minutes at least 4 days a week. Weight-bearing
exercises stimulate new bone growth by working the muscles and bones
against gravity. moreover yoga will be quiet beneficial.

I'm not going to bother replying to each individual post as to many of
them are insulting.
Several points:
a) Why are people talking about doing squats, when my original posting
showed machines??
a) as some of these machines are at an angle of 45 degrees, I would be
pushing less than my body weight, that's simple physics.
b) It appears to me that many of the leg press machines available allow
you to sit and push away from the body thus NO body weight is used.
c) people who reply to postings without reading them, slagging of the
original post are ignorant twats with too much time on their hands.
d) Suggestions of exercising my injured leg by walking, dancing etc
show a complete lack of knowledge concerning rehab with a torn ACL.
e) Does anyone actually know the answers to my original post?

You are still lifting your body weight, and short of lopping off an
arm or a leg, you can't squat less than your weight.
Dumbasses..

The answer is you are a fooking idiot. Apparently you can not get out of a
chair without injury, yet you are looking for plans to fabricate a leg press
machine!
 >> Stay informed about: Leg press machine for rehab? Good design? 

ROFL you really are a TWAT aren't you? It sounds like you have
possibly developed the ability to write without the ability to think.
How long do you think about something before replying? 2 seconds? Less?
It can't possibly be longer, surely? Unless you really as
sub-intelligent as your response suggested. How on earth you have
managed to work out how your computer works let alone the internet and
news groups is beyond me. Although the use of the word 'fabricate'
suggests at some time, somebody tried to educate you. So I guess maybe
you are just an ignorant, ill-manned, ill-bred twat. There should be
some legislation to stop people like you owning a computer. Can you
actually communicate an idea without being insulting? I guess to be
fair that might take too much effort, better to write ill-mannered,
rude, pointless answer. For anyone reading this who has use of a brain;

a) I don't intend to stay in a chair, so at some point I will want to
regain my leg strength. The best way of achieving that will be measured
progressive resistance training.
b) A mate who has helped me build other benches and pull down machines
will help me with the leg press machine.

So who is a 'fooking idiot'? hmmm let me think...... lol

Save your whining for your mate. While you're confined to that chair
munching on snacks and lashing out at the world, consider taking some sort
of remedial writing course.
