Yep, so many benefits from squats, especially doing heavy barbell squats. Too many to list in fact. Yes, if you haven't ever done barbell squats, bodyweight squats will be of benefit but to get the max benefits you really need to do fairly heavy barbell squats (and on any basic compound lift for that matter) either at a gym or investing in your own setup. My recommendation is a power rack. That way you can squat AND bench-press safely without a spotter. I went to gyms for 20 years but finally got fed-up with the travel time, gym fees, and putting up with all the idiots you get in gyms. Investing in my own home gym has been one of the best investments in my life (Health is wealth!) I bought the basics at first (power rack, olympic bar, 300lbs of weights) and have slowly been adding over the years. I now believe that lifting heavy weights is THE BEST WAY to increase longevity and avoid disease. Creating and maintaining muscle mass is THE KEY to this especially into your later years in life. I don't care what age you are (50, 60, 70, 80 , 90!) unless you have a debilitating disease, . male or female, ANYONE can do this. I'm not saying you need to squat 500lbs, but you need to get to weights where you REALLY struggle on those last couple of reps. There are lots of set and rep ranges on different programs but I keep it simple. For squats I do three sets....11 reps, then 10, then 9. When I can do those numbers, I add 5 lbs. Just learn the movements (pretty easy to do online now) with light weights (you can get a 15lb Olympic barbell to start) and slowly add weight to the bar every workout or two and work your way up. You'll be AMAZED at what your body is capable of. You'll know you did it right if you're sore a day or two later. All you have to do is get used to putting in some hard work a few times a week. Then you'll feel the benefits, slowly, magically appear. It truly is miraculous. And yes, heavy squats DEFINITELY make your sex life better 😛

Very well said Sir and explained. This squat routine shocks your whole body in to action. I can verify it works 100% I also do a punchbag routine on a Rival 150lb bag using RB10 gloves and a proper boxing timer. This takes your lung capacity, strength and endurance to amazing heights... and if it kicks off you know exactly what to do. Just do it.

Everything that’s being said here is spot on. But you have to keep in mind that many people have knee problems and squats put tremendous pressure on that particular joint. There are many other exercises that can build the legs and give you blood flow with stressing your knees. So just keep it in mind because although now I’m older and still train, everyone I trained with in the past that squatted heavyweights all have hip and knee problems. Just food for thought, so squat away with discretion 😀!
