Hi Jessica, the bike helps with increasing your squats but it does not
stimulate strength gains while you're on it.

stimulates motor neurons in a way that supposedly accelerates the
strength gains and skill acquisition of athletes.
Not to mention that decreasing the effects of the sticking point will increase the velocity of the bar and
stimulate the activity of the more potent fast - twitch muscle fibers, thereby promoting greater
strength gains.
But the latest in a series of studies that began in 2010 found evidence that supports an opposing view on the subject, claiming that it doesn't really matter whether you lift heavy or light and whether you do it in the low or high rep range — both combinations have the same potential to
stimulate gains in terms of
strength and mass.
But when paired with back extension rows, the glute ham raise becomes a taxing movement that can help you
stimulate unbelievable growth and
strength gains in the mid and upper back because it allows a greater stretch in the lats at the bottom portion, forces you to use very strict form and eliminates faulty shoulder mechanics.

stimulating your body through training to elicit an adaptation which can be fat loss, muscle
gain, or
strength gain depending on your goals, and then being able to recover from that stress.
If you also reverse the progression down and do reps to failure in each set on the way down you will further
stimulate the deep micro-tears which leads to muscle building and eventual increases in
strength, endurance and
gains.
Resistance training on its own
stimulates muscle protein synthesis, but according to the National
Strength & Conditioning Association, drinking protein shakes after training leads to greater gains in muscle mass and strength, which go hand in hand with reducing body fat per
