Want To Build Big Muscles? Here Is How To Gain Muscle...

Want to build Big Huge Muscles? Then you must Squat! The Squat
will build big muscles on your entire body frame. 

There are 3 types of people in this world. 

First, there are those that make things happen. They calculated
and know very sure what they want, then they take action and get
it no matter what happens. They single mindedly pursue their
ambition and they will ultimately succeed. In bodybuilding,
they want to grow big and strong with big huge muscles. They
SQUAT and squat and squat again. Have you ever seen anyone who
is big, have huge muscles and have a well proportioned body
like a Greek god who does not squat? Never. 

Then there are those who watch things happen. They will savor
the world around them. Then say, we will see what happens next.
If it works, well we will decide if we are gonna do it. 

These are the majority of the average Joes. They want to grow
big muscles and be strong and muscular but are reluctant to
make the effort to include the squat in their workout routine.
Even if they do, they will do it haphazardly and will give up
before they achieve their objectives. Then the excuses will
flow. "Squats are too hard on my knees" or "Doing squat will
stunt your growth" or "Squats are for my back" or "I just want
a well toned body." Excuses from sour grapes. That is why
average joes just remain well... average. We will debunk those
excuses later in this article. 

Finally there are those that are always saying "Omigosh! What
happened?" Needless to say, these people are the ones oblivious
to what is happening around them. They will walk leisurely on a
treadmill reading a book at the same time when others are
raising their heart rates to improve endurance and burn fats. 

They are the ones doing dumbbell curls after dumbbell curls
when others are doing bench presses, dead lifts and squats.
They are the ones who ask the champions why the champs are
growing biiger muscles and getting fitter all the time whereas
they are at the gym longer, more regular and yet not achieving
any result. They will take note of the advises and the next
time you see them, they are back to what they were doing.
Reading that confounded book on the treadmill. They actually
expect changes to take place by doing the same things. How is
that possible? Then they will say, "Ah... but you are just
lucky to have good genes!" What nonsense! 

To build muscles fast and big, you must SQUAT! The squat is
often touted as the king of exercise and is grouped together
with the dead lift and bench press, collectively called the Big
Three for power and muscle mass building. 

If you want to build big muscles and enjoy a symmetrical
physique, you must squat. Period. 

In most gym, the squat rack is there collecting dust. Why?
Because most people think that their legs will be hidden by
their pants. Why bother? How dead wrong they are. Wait till you
see them in their shorts or swim wear. You will see Spiderman
..er ..I mean spider legs. 

Another reason why people avoid squatting exercises is because
the squat work on many major muscles and is grueling work. When
you perform squats correctly, you will huff and pant, wheeze,
head spinning woozily, see stars, sweat profusely and your
entire body will be screaming for you to stop. 

Of course the exercise is brutal! You are working out about 75%
of your entire muscular structure including your shoulders,
traps, back, gluteus, hams, calf, abs and many other
synergistic muscles in a single exercise, isn't that supposed
taxed your strength, endurance and your cardio health? Isn't
that the best exercise? Isn't that why the results from squats
will be astounding? 

As an added bonus to building big muscles , you will be burning
fats like crazy since the squat, given the intensity placed on
your body, your metabolism zooms straight up! If your body fat
ratio is high, it will help you lose body fat. 

And because of the degree of difficulty, squats also force your
body to release higher amounts of growth hormone , resulting in
new muscle growth in all areas of your body. In addition,
squats will cause a spillover effect, enabling you to gain
strength in all of your other lifts. Awesome! It just befuddles
me why, with all these benefits, people are avoiding squats like
a bubonic plague. As for the hard gainers, squat will pack on
pounds after pounds of muscle on your entire body! So hard
gainers, you must squat to grow big! 

If you squat with the correct form, heavy weight and sheer
intensity, you will see good results in just weeks. Not just
your lower body. Your entire frame will take on a different
form. A total body transformation. Guaranteed! 

You must know that since squats are performed with heavy
weight, so correct form and techniques are critical and cannot
be compromised. Anything less, you may sustain serious injury.
However, when you adhere to the proper technique, you will be
very safe and will enjoy all the benefits that come with the
squat. Don't cheat yourself and substitute squats with leg
presses. They are of a different class! 

Debunking Excuses! 

It's bad for the knees - In fact, it's on the contrary. Just
like the muscle tissue in your body strengthens when exposed to
stress, the tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues in
your body will also thicken in response to weightlifting. That
means, it actually improve knee health when you squat. It also
strengthens all the muscles around your knee and thus providing
your knees with support when the muscles are strong and less
stress is placed on the knees on your day to day activities. I
know. I used to suffer from knee pain until I started squatting
and now, my knees are in perfect health that I can even play
competitive soccer. Knee problems only occur when you squat
improperly like resting at the bottom of the movement or
letting your knee protrude over your toes. 

It's bad for my back - For the same reasons about strengthening
your tissues, squats also exercises your lower back. When done
in correct form, it actually builds strong muscles on your
lower back and not only correcting you from bad posture that
results in a bad back, it may even give you a healthy strong
back. Again, it will only hurt your back if done in poor form
like bending forward or doing it with a rounded back instead of
arching it during the movement. 

It will give you high blood pressure and bad for the heart - 
Sure, your blood pressure will rise as your heart will beat
faster from the exercise. That is only temporary and not
dangerous unless you already have those problems in the first
place. Other than that you are actually exercising your heart
and cardio vascular system to strengthen it. How can that be
dangerous? Don't most exercises elevate heart rate and increase
blood flow? Then they should ban the treadmills and close all
swimming pools! Do you buy that nonsense? 

So, now that you know that squat is the king of bodybuilding
exercises, are you the type that makes things happen or are
still contend to be wondering what the heck happened?
