Squatting aint easy, or everyone would be doing it!
Lets face it, Most of us can generally place an exercise or muscle group to any day of the week and it wold hold true for 85% of all gym rats!
Where the Fuck have all the Squatters gone?
Why on GODs green earth is no one working their legs on anything but Machines (if that). In my humble opinion it comes down to Instant Gratification, Ego, and the "LOOK AT ME" Selfie-Indulgent Crowd, cause truth is unless your living where its always warm, no one is going to see your legs! I was astounded when I worked out in Florida and I couldnt find ONE man or women in the gym without a decent set of legs! I guess it came down to theyre always wearing shorts! Ask a guy in the North East to wear shorts to the gym, lol, He will be working out in jogging pants All Summer Long!
If your just starting out, you Need to Know, You MUST SQUAT! Yes MUST!
If you only do one leg exercise, make sure its SQUATS! Not Smith Machine , or Some of that weird counter-weight balanced bar on a wire bullshit, but rather get in the fucking rack , bar on back and squat ass to grass.
Even if you only squat (not that im suggesting that) but if its all you do for leg day at least know its the one leg exercise that builds your lower body the absolute most! Not only does Squatting build most of your lower body, Squatting helps your entire body grow, head to toes by incorporating almost every major and minor muscle group!
How Do Squats Help The Rest Of My Body?
Squatting will help strengthen your bench press, your abs, your back, your shoulders, you name it!
Squatting Strengthens & Builds Chest:
Squatting Strengthens & Builds Abs:
If You thought I was going to go down the list, and explain why Squatting helps Build, tone and strengthen every other body, your mistaken, as Back was next on the list, and if you cant figure out how a Giant barbell loaded with 45 pound plates laying behind your neck helps strengthen your back then Read No Further, Get Up From Your Computer, and Sign Up To Planet Fitness!! Pizza Night is Friday
So as you can HOPEFULLY see, even if you could only do ONE EXERCISE per week, Squatting would be the absolute best choice.
Squatting more over free weight barbell medium to heavy weight squatting will help your body produce more Growth Hormone naturally Than any other exercise or compound movement!
Lets face it, Most of us can generally place an exercise or muscle group to any day of the week and it wold hold true for 85% of all gym rats!

Squatting will help strengthen your bench press, your abs, your back, your shoulders, you name it!
Squatting Strengthens & Builds Chest:
- Keeping the bar on your back alone through all those sets, with your hands stretched out, holding the bar up and steady in itself is a powerful isometric combined with the stretching of your delts and pectoral insertion points, that in and of itself is a workout and quite beneficial to your favorite exercise (dont lie) bench press!
Squatting Strengthens & Builds Abs:
- Again Isometrics come into play when Squatting with Proper Form and Technique. The Constant tension or flexing of the abs not only will help build and strengthen them, but will help create more heat in that general area aiding in fat loss. Ever try squatting without keeping your abs flexed? Good Luck with That!
