Squats, The Benefits of Heavy Squatting
Squats Are One Of, If Not The Most Effective, Growth-Producing Exercises You Could Possibly Include In Your Workout Routine.
Squats, You Haven’t Squatted ‘Till You SQUAT!
Simply put, squats are the most difficult, intimidating and painful exercise you could possibly have in your arsenal. They require massive amounts of discipline and willpower to perform correctly. After you have performed a set of squats to failure, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. They are also a challenging exercise to master from a technical standpoint.
All this aside, squats are one of, if not THE most effective, growth-producing exercises you could possibly include in your workout routine. They will pack more size and strength onto your lower body than any other exercise out there, and due to their high level of difficulty, they also force your body to release higher amounts of important anabolic hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone. This increased secretion of hormones will pack muscle size onto your entire upper body as well.
In addition, squats cause what is known as a “spillover effect”: a strength gain in almost all of your other exercises. When I started squatting to failure, my bench press virtually increased by 20 pounds overnight. If you’re looking for serious muscle gains and you don’t already squat, you’d better get started.
Quite simply, they really, really work.
