AND not to forget that the gluteus is the biggest muscle the human body got so it takes a LOT of work and time just to be able to build the muscle....... Don't you worry.... squat along....... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Or will your butt not get big, just more toned and shapely no matter what kind of reps and weight you use??

Working with resistance will give nicely shaped and curved muscles. Take the known (female) bodybuilders, they do really HEAVY squats but since they don't really have a lot of fat, well then their legs and glutes are simply nice and strong. As I said to build up this HUGE muscle group you'll need to lift heavy. Of course you can get there lifting moderate and lots of repetitions, but it'll just take you longer...... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
lalababy Posts: 37 Joined: 2002/06/12	2003/01/10, 04:20 PM well, will doing heavy squats give a person a nice BIG butt as in nice BIG shapely muscle butt (not big fat butt)? or does doing heavy squats not make it bigger at all?
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2003/01/11, 02:25 AM LOL okey, now listen to this: If your butt get BIGGER when doing squats it's because of the muscles growing UNDERNEATH the FAT! Gotta loose the fat........ -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Meph, your BUTT will get bigger even with the exercises if you don't diet to lose the fat. Lunges do work and squats and hydrants. All three will give you an all over butt workout. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!
