Squat to boost muscle gain

Hey! Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Tomorrow is the start of a new week and for most i assume back to the gym and hitting up a chest day workout. Right? Everyone knows Monday's are international chest day!lol

Well, we all know how crowded the global benches are on a Monday so, I ask you to be a RENEGADE! Get out of your comfort zone of training your chest on Monday and hit up some SQUATS!

You can use low reps or high reps, light weight or heavy weight. You can use sandbags, kettlebells, dumbells, or of course a barbell. Any one of these on are great for packing on and building muscle.

Nothing beats heavy squats for helping your entire body gain muscle and shed fat. Also, this will help you speed up your metabolism as well.

When I talk about squats, I'm not talking about a 1/4 squat. I'm talking about getting your butt low and using a lot of muscle's in the process to push that heavy weight back up.  Your using your hips, hamstrings, quads, low back, and even your lats. So, make sure your hitting a REAL squat and get the full benefit of what the squat can do to help you pack on muscle and shed fat at the same time.

Today I will be knocking out some squats with a high rep scheme with up to 60 sec rest in between.  I know my legs will be feeling good tomorrow!

Before I go, if you want to try something different try loading up a heavy sandbag and place it on your back.  You wanna try and get a least 20 reps. Walk 10 feet with the sandbag and knock out 2 reps than repeat that until you hit your rep scheme. Have fun and get after it!
