Squat produces more growth hormone and testosterone than leg press

Squats create a stronger anabolic stimulus in the body than equally heavy sets on a leg press machine. Sports scientists from the University of North Texas report on this in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The Texans discovered that bodybuilders synthesise more growth hormone and testosterone after a squat session than after a session on a leg press machine.

The growth hormone and testosterone produced by squats or any other exercise is infinitesimally small.

honestly squatting with 1-2 plates keeps me loose and limber, otherwise i get stiff and my joints start hurting.  I think it's the flexibility and muscles it recruits
