blood circulation. Legs are the largest muscle group in the body causing demand for more oxygen pumped to them my the heart.

Ever noticed sometimes feeling sick when you push legs hard. Its the demand for all the blood being pumped through your body.

Just like with squats, I have a love\hate relationship with that sick feeling!

Exactly Blue, Plus the rest of your body is being used as "stabilizer muscles"....even Isometric hold require increased blood flow to the muscle. Remember when all the "old school" guys always calls squats a total body exercise.?.....

By the way Tweb, I also take the volume approach to leg training like you do, Keep it up bro

Also you hitting legs hard will increase test production as well as gh production causing full body growth...maybe lower some of the reps from 10 to 8 and raise weight a little bit shock the body.
