Make Your Workouts More Productive With 20 Rep Squats

One of the fastest ways to gain size and strength in the entire body is by following the 20 rep squat program. This is a simple routine that is as old as dirt, but it works awesome for fast gains, even if you are a hard gainer.

There are a several ways to implement this into your workouts. But one variation that you can use to help make all your workouts more effective is to simply add in a set of 20 rep squats before your regular workouts.

So for example, if you were going to do a chest workout just get to the gym 10 minutes early, warm up, and then start off with a couple progressively heavier sets of squats. Then take a working weight and bang out a set of 20 rep squats, after which you would just go about your regular chest workout as normal.

The reason this works so well is because you are working the big power house muscles of the legs, core, back, as well as numerous stabilizer muscles throughout your entire body. This will stimulate your central nervous system, stimulate the release of more anabolic hormones, and increase your metabolism more than you would with a straight forward bodypart isolation type of workout.
