>>15503 for serious dude. i got it from charles poliquin in one of his question of strength articles at tnation, so it's probably correct. but squats are number two and are actually functional so you're not exactly wrong.
yeah, i prefer free weights and squats as well. i'm considering heavy leg presses for occaisional hypertrophy work. probably go for time, tom platz style. may as well do it properly if you're going to do it at all.
>>15505 tone is a function of body fat and hydration levels. so get all that richard simmons thinking out of your head now, it's unbecoming in an athlete.
functionality is dependant on usage. if you're doing actual rowing on water then you need strength-endurance and high-rep heavy leg presses will achieve this, as will high-rep heavy squating. it's easier to high-rep in leg presses though. you'd better be doing chin-ups as well.
go heavier safely. vary rep/set ranges and tempo, train legs as a priority and keep a food log/diary to make sure you're eating enough.
