    Im getting older and the side effects from squats the days after isn't worth it. Your legs will thank you by over loading with split squats, leg press and overloading on leg extentions.

      @@AccentBwoy Well for one, there is a huge hormone response. It naturally raises testosterone and growth hormone. There’s lots of carryover to the upper body. I’ve found my general upper body strength go up by building out my legs. Being that squatting is a natural movement, functionally you are reducing the risk of injury on your lower body, assuming you are using a weight that you can handle. Increased hip and ankle mobility. Improved core strength. Lastly, you want your body to be balanced. Strong upper body muscles combined with weak legs can create uneven forces on your joints and potentially contribute to postural issues.
