The Great Benefits of Barbell Squats
If you haven't already done so, including a few sets of heavy barbell squats into your weight training routine each week is perhaps one of the best things you can possibly do. Why? Simply because there's no other exercise that is more important for building muscle mass (except maybe Deadlifts).
Doing squats properly gives you the potential to pack on huge amounts of muscle mass onto your body. They are by far the most important leg exercise you can do, yet their benefits don't stop at the legs.
Many people regard squats as the single most effective exercise for muscle gain, because of the overall growth that results from doing them. Squats don't just pack muscle onto your legs, your entire upper body will benefit from them as well.
How will squats affect upper body? Well, since barbell squats (or dumbbell squats) requires a lot of strength and energy to perform due to their high level of difficulty, they force your body to release more amounts of vital anabolic hormones like testosterone and growth hormone. This enables you to pack muscle mass onto the whole of your upper body as well as your legs.
This means that by doing squats you will see an increase in strength all over your body. For example, including squats into your weekly routine will increase the amount of weight you can bench press almost instantly. Pretty useful if you ask me!
So why is it that so many people don't include squats in their workouts? Since they are such a difficult, uncomfortable and painful exercise to perform, people will do anything to avoid them.
There are a lot of reasons out there that stop people performing squats, but I really should call them myths because that's what they are. Excuses such as "they are dangerous to me knees" or "they are dangerous to the heart" are just that, excuses.
Squats are only dangerous when performed with improper form. So if you get the technique down right, then you're set for amazing muscle mass gains all over your body.
If you're not already squatting, why not start now. You'll be glad you did in a few weeks or so when you notice the great benefits from doing them.
