Leg Press — Bodyweight Variation opens on force profile: a PUSH parent (Leg Press) swapped onto Bodyweight. Force direction is the first filter before muscle (quadriceps) or kit.
Among 883 variation pages, this BODYONLY substitute sits in the upper third by parent documentation (≥ 974 chars). Deep parents usually mean a richer step list on the canonical exercise page, not a harder BODYONLY swap by itself.

Safety notes · BODYONLY · PUSH/COMPOUND
Bodyweight removes external load on a beginner quadriceps pattern. Keep reps honest; add pauses before chasing volume when joint control still feels new. Read the Compound vs isolation guide before programming the swap.
