Barbell Squat


Squats are easily the most important part of your leg workout. In my personal experience the most growth I have seen in my legs has come with large amounts of squatting.  Squatting is such a great compound movement for muscle development. By squats being a "compound'' movement it means that many other muscles come into play than just your legs. If you have ever had an extensive squat session you know that you start to feel it working out your lower back and abdominal muscles. Not only is squatting beneficial to other muscle groups than your legs but it also has been proven to increase your explosive energy which is very important to many athletes that partake in sports that require that sort of short bursts of energy. Legs being the most large muscle group in the body means you are going to get a larger increase in testosterone exercising legs than any other muscle group. Therefore your entire body will benefit from this testosterone increase. But don't just take my word for it bodybuilder and iron addict Mike Rashid clear states his view on squats in the link below.
