Certainly one of the manliest exercises around, and for good reason. You can make a strong case that the squat is the best exercise you can possibly do.
In the old school weightlifting classic, Super Squats: How to Gain 30 lbs of Muscle in 6 Weeks by Dr. Randall Strossen, many of the oldtime bodybuilding and powerlifting greats even went on record as saying that if they were forced to choose only one exercise that they could do to see maximal results, then they would choose the squat.
The squat often referred to as the “King of Exercises” because it works all the muscles in your legs at the same time, while also strengthening your hips and lower back and your upper body is called upon as well making the squat a total body exercise. Working your entire body gets the heart pumping, the calories burning, and your testosterone going.
