Squats help to release many anabolic hormones, including testosterone which is also responsible for increasement of strength.
The difference of strength between man and woman is the concentration of testosterone in body.
Testosterone has a relationship with the bone density. This makes sense to you? (females have a significantly lower density than men).
When body is subjected to great physical effort, testosterone is released to help support muscular structure from intensity.
So, if the exercise is more intense, more testosterone will be released.
Squats are the best exercise to increase testosterone levels because works the entire body. It is a compound exercise that begins at an optimized point on body to create tension. This exercise works the entire skeletal structure, so brain receives an alert to assist all muscles, releasing testosterone.
Guys, what causes lower back pain when squatting?
ReplyDeleteBe careful! you might be doing the exercise with improper posture...
DeleteSquats are a very intense exercise. I recommend you to take glutamine (muscle recovery) and a vitamin complex to enhance bone density.
Can be a lack of cortisol (wich is the best anti inflammatory hormone) caused by adrenal fatigue. Try ashwaghanda extract supplements.
DeleteProbably are muscle problems or you may have a scoliosis (curvature in spine) that also causes lower back pain.
ReplyDeleteWhen you do squats you should use a Weightlifting Belt. It helps you to distributes the tension for all column muscles.
