Exercise Quote by Gabe Kapler
“Not only do squats build muscle in the quadriceps, hamstrings and calves, they also allow for the release of testosterone and growth hormone providing a highly anabolic environment for all other areas to grow when trained.”

In simple terms: Squats build leg strength and boost growth hormones for whole-body growth.
