Utimate leg exercise Squats


Powerful legs are the foundation of an impressive physique. Strong, defined legs give your body symmetry and show off your overall strength. So, why is there so much “leg avoidance” in weight training? It may be because leg exercises are not always considered easy or fun, so many people prefer to focus on their upper body (the “gotta have big arms, big chest” syndrome). But by neglecting the legs, you can actually slow your progress in other areas. Your body tends to want to grow
proportionally. Train your legs hard and we know you’ll be surprised by the upper-body growth that is stimulated as a result. Another great thing about working legs:
if you work them, they’ll grow. That may sound obvious, but many people who make slower gains with their upper body find that getting their legs to develop is
a quick process. Training legs with intensity will also elevate your heart rate and allow you to burn fat more efficient. 5 minutes of light cardio before hand to warm up knees.


                                                          

If you can add 1 exercise in your leg workouts let it be squats. Cause it’s the most effective leg work out and it helps build the most powerful muscles in the body. A squat is performed by placing the appropriate amount of weight on a barbell that is also resting on a squat rack. The height of the barbell should be modified so that it is about the same height as your armpits. You will then need to get under the bar with your knees slightly bent and the bar across your shoulders. It will be necessary to grip the bar with your hands in a position you feel comfortable in order to stabilise the bar. Then to perform the actual exercise movement you will need to free the barbell from its hooks on the rack and take a small step back, then bend at the knees and make a motion as if you are going to sit down on a stool. It is important to keep the back straight and bend at the knees enough so that the thighs are at least parallel to the floor, then simply stand up straight again to complete the exercise.

The main benefit of doing these exercises is that they actually help the other muscles in your body to get larger, even though they are not actually directly involved in performing these exercises. The reason for this is that these two exercises are powerful natural testosterone boosters, and men who perform these highly demanding exercises usually experience a surge in their levels of natural testosterone soon after doing them. These two exercises use the largest muscles in the body simultaneously and this appears to be what causes such testosterone surges. If your levels of natural testosterone are increased then this is going to make it easier to increase the size of the muscles in the arms and chest that most men seem to be particularly interested in developing. Other benefits of doing these exercises are also related to the testosterone surge that they cause such as increased libido and feeling generally more ‘alpha male’.
