Squat til u drop!

[Ekmo]

Ive always heard squating realease a hormone that increases size and strength in the whole body, is this true?

[CF-OC_gal]

Is it a hormone or just that fact that a good heavy squat is a compound movement that draws on the strength and coordination of several muscle groups?

[midgetcop]

I've never heard of any hormone, but it is an awesome compound movement when done correctly.

i heard it released testoterone and a growth hormone ,it could just be lies tho

[midgetcop]

No reason to be sad, regardless. It's still an awesome, essential exercise to do. No lifting routine is truly complete without it.
