How to Increase Your Bench Press by Doing Squats

 
Author: Marc David

My Legs Are Already Big Enough. I Keep Hearing Working Legs Is A MUST. Why Is That So Important?

Believe me I hated leg workouts. Until I realize the true potential that a simple set of squats could unleash.

Frankly I see the same people on the leg press machine, leg extensions, doing lunges and doing squats week after week. But for every other muscle group, its like a new day. Theres the familiar faces of course, but theres always new people. Its like working leg is an exclusive club.

And yet that is 50% of your body! Your entire lower body you will neglect because:

You dont like working legs
You dont want bigger legs
Your leg are big enough

But lets suppose you do work legs. And without much weight at all. Just enough to stimulate your entire body propelling it into new levels of growth. Do you think that is possible?

How can doing squats increase our bench press? If you are stuck on bicep curls, how can incorporating legs into your routine break you thru those plateaus?

Im here to tell you right now, as you read this, that doing leg workouts is a whole lot more then just getting bigger, more toned, or stronger legs.

Think about it. Testosterone is a primary ingredient of building muscle. So you do a hard set of tricep pushdowns. Your body responds by making more testosterone. Lets just guess at 10% more for the day. Phew. Hard workout. Good job!

Do you qualify as one of those people?

But, lets say you do a set of breathing squats at 100% intensity.

You just boosted your testosterone production 1000%.

Do you think Im being facetious?

But back to the purpose of this question. Working your legs isnt an option. Its something you do. So you dont want bigger legs? Fine. Dont pile on the weight. Dont overload them. Just stimulate your metabolism, and stimulate your body changing. So you dont like legs? Get over it.

Fact is, by incorporating legs into your workout, you will see more gains in 6 weeks then most people do in 3 months.

Dont take my word for it. Look around at your gym? The guy with a huge upper body and tiny chicken legs. Do you want to look like that? Who are the bigger guys in your gym? Who are the women that you most want to look like? I can assure you those people do legs. Any top notch physique does legs.

Doing a cardio machine that uses legs is not the same.

So thats why working your legs is so important. Please do not make excuses. You do not have to train to failure where you cannot walk. You dont have to squat 600 lbs. You simply must train the 50% of your body that pretty much 80% of everybody just doesnt do.

Next time you are in the gym take a good look around. Notice the leg equipment. Notice the same people using that week after week.

Become one of the individuals at your gym that trains legs and discover the secret to growth.

Here are the reasons why working every muscle - not just certain ones - is the superior method of getting the results you want:

1. Builds lean muscle
2. Reduces body fat levels
3. Increases energy
4. Balances blood sugar in the body
5. Increases neuromuscular efficiency
6. Improves sexual performance
7. Lowers cholesterol in the body
8. Protects against heart disease
9. Improves mood

All the above reasons are by-products of increased testosterone. For men, this means better muscle gains. For women, dont worry you dont have enough testosterone to get big and bulky like a man. For everybody, working legs will help you with the above factors and assist you in reaching your goals.
