Natural test

[beefy_bod]

Hi there, I need some help on squat vs leg press not a big fan of squats, will leg presses release natural test from my legs same as squats would do or better or is there anything else thatd help

From what I have read any exercise that puts HEAVY weight on the quads stimulates the release of natural growth axis, GH, IGF-1, and test, which are obviously related. This is why if you throw in a couple of say chest sets on leg day, you may see an improvement in chest development beyond what you would normally get out of those sets.

So to answer your question, yes heavy leg presses should work. But squats are not called the king of exercises for nothing. When squatting almost every muscle in your body from calfs to arms are recruited to some degree to properly execute the movement. It challenges your whole body and improves the mind muscle connection.

Bottom line, if you can't go heavy on squats, use the leg press, but don't cut squats out of your routine. Gotta have wheels.

Also saw your pic n can't really tell. It may be a bit of mild gyno it may just be fat. Did you see the doc yet?
