Fantastic article here about squatting. To add to what you said about squatting raising testosterone and growth hormone levels, the best way to do so is 3 sets, 10 reps each set, with 1 minute breaks between sets. This setup has been proven through studies to produce the highest amount of testosterone and growth hormone levels from squatting.

No disrespect FitnessFreek, but I've never taken theories, studies or gym banta as gospel (been around too long). I try things and see if they work for me.

Too many trainees religiously stick to something that isn't working for them cos some study\bloke down the gym\forum post told them it should.

Whatever some bods have proven in a study can never apply to everyone and is irrelevant if it doesn't work for you.


Nothing works for everyone and everything works for someone.

Hi ya,

Just wanna add something about doing squat - the secret squatting technique.

The secret to performing a perfect squat requires a heavy heel. Prior to performing a body weight squat (or back squat, overhead squat, front squat, sumo squat, squat with weights etc), slightly lift your toes up in your shoes. This should place about 75% of your weight on your heels. When this shift of weight occurs, the hips will naturally unlock, applying the weight being lifted (body weight, barbell, dumbbell etc) directly to the gluteus muscles. Squatting heavy on your toes applies pressure directly to the knee joint and overloads the quadriceps and that can lead to arthritis, over-developed quadriceps or ligament damage.

Happy and safe training!
