Leg press is better for building mass. Everyone is obsessed with squats nowadays when in reality going to failure with them can lead to a crap load of injuries

This could be for a couple of reasons but more than likely one of these two. You have tight calves or you don't have your feet angled out enough. More than likely tight calves. Get on the edge of a step and just let your bodyweight stretch your calves one a time a couple times a day. Also, concentrate on pushing up through your midfoot instead of heels and "cup" the ground with your feet as if youre trying to dig into it like sand.

No it's not. Nothing tells your CNS "Oh frick, I better get ready" like putting some heavy weight on your back. And you don't have to go to failure to build mass.

Do you squat in shoes with a heel rise (like most running shoes)?

Sure do. Damn! Never even occurred to me that would cause it.
Squatting in running shoes will cause other difficulties while performing the movement, but it has nothing to do with the problem you described.

Just wait until you are 50. All of it comes back to haunt you.

More than likely your form was just compromised. Make sure you're bracing your core with a big gut breath before you descend. Look up on YouTube for proper technique

Lock up that pelvic girdle region, stay on the heels, eyes forward.
In the meantime stretch the tspine, slap a lacrosse ball in a sock (use the sock as a handle/guide), lean against the wall and pull the ball to trigger points. Let the ball rest on those hot spots and apply pressure accordingly. If you get foot at it, you can lay down and go through some range of motion.

If you have never experienced an injury during or as a result of weightlifting, then you really haven't lifted weights. You sound like a little bitch.

Exactly. Weight lifting shoes have heels. Most chucks/vans/flat bottom shoe wearing is derived from deadlifting.

Plus foam, air pocket, or thick shoes causes instability and ankle movement.

Hell, baws, I've been lifting barefoot for a while. Yeah, I have to be careful where I put the weight down, but I feel a lot more stable. My feet are too wide for Chuck's.

I also find that static holds from a pull-up bar really help me inbetween squat sets.
I do this a lot between all sorts of sets. I think it's good for the soul.

Yea barefoot is the way I go.

You'll be ok in a few days

Off topic a bit, but i saw a flamboyant guy using the abductor machine to do squats in yesterday.
Awkward!
