Top Exercise For Muscle Building: The Squat

Basically, squats are the hardest, most intimidating, and painful exercise for muscle building you could possibly do.

You require a large amount of discipline and willpower to get them done correctly.

Just perform a set of squats to failure and you'll know exactly what I mean.

Technically, they are also a challenging exercise for muscle building to master.

Ultimately, squats are THE most effective, growth-inducing exercise for muscle building that you can do.

Squats force the body into releasing extra amounts of anabolic hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone; they are also the best exercise for muscle building if you want to pack on serious strength and size on your lower body.

Increasing your hormone secretion will add muscle size to your entire upper body too.

With this exercise for muscle building, you will achieve a strength gain in almost every other exercise that you do because it causes a "spillover effect.".

I've experienced this myself. When I first began squatting to failure, the poundage that I could bench was upped by 20 pounds almost instantaneously.

It's time to get started with squatting as your prime exercise for muscle building.

Squatting really works, period.

The unfortunate fact is that too many lifters have not yet experienced the benefits of heavy squatting.

But too many lifters will make any excuse they can to avoid the squat rack.

Too many times I've heard people say "It's too hard on my knees" or "Squats stunt your growth, don't they?".

What is my answer to them?

Rubbish!

If you really want to maximize your total body muscle gains, exercise for muscle building is something you have to do.

Proper Squatting Technique

Be safe and perform your squats in a power rack or cage.

This gives you the ability to set the height at which you clear the bar, not to mention the ability to drop the bar on those safety pins if you need to.

You should set the safety pins just below the depth you are squatting, and the J Hooks should be set at your nipple level.

Here's the form you need to maintain during a squat: your head should be pulled back, your chest raised, and you should have a slight arch in your lower back.

Keep your gaze straight ahead and not up or down, and ensure that you don't lean too far forward.

Grasp the bar with both hands, maintaining the same width as in a bench press.

The bar should sit evenly along your traps before clearing.

It should rest on the lower part of your traps and on your rear delts.

It should almost seem like the bar will roll off your back.

Clear the bar and then take the necessary amount of steps backwards.

The fact is that many squat injuries happen while backing up, so do only as much as is required.

Get your feet shoulder width apart and point them at a 45-degree angle.

With a big, huge breath, descend.

Instead of lowering yourself straight down, pretend as if you're trying to sit on a chair.

Take care to ensure that your knees are in line with your feet, and avoid any tendency to bow them inwards.

Get those thighs parallel to the ground as you lower down!

As soon as you've reach this position, start ascending.

Do not keep yourself in that bottom position!

Rise up by driving your heels into the ground and straightening your back.

When you are back in the upright position, breathe deeply and keep lifting until your set is complete.

Summary.

The squat rack offers big benefits, so go ahead and get into it.

You'll be shocked at the resulting muscle gains if you treat this lift with respect.

Do 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps once every week.

You need to really push yourself with this exercise for muscle building and keep increasing the weights and/or reps.

  • Please stop with your talking and show us!!!

  • Depends on the weight and what you want to achieve. If you want maximum growth then properly warm up then Blast out 7-9 reps of the highest weight you can manage, rest for a few minutes or until you feel strong enough to have another go and do the same. Put more weight on if you managed to do the 9th rep easily. You can apply this to most core exercises. Just be careful not to damage yourself. Only you know your strength.
