You Don’t Know Squat – Part II

Another training myth is that your choice of exercise determines the outcome.

For example if you do a set of squats for 1-3 reps with a heavy barbell on your back you will get very strong, but it may not be the best formula for building muscle and you won’t gain any endurance from it. However, if you cranked out 100 bodyweight squats you’ll build great muscular endurance but minimal muscle and maximal strength.

So the question is, do squats make you strong, build muscle or increase endurance??? The answer: YES
