Doing squats for a bigger butt? (muscles, lift, glute, squat)

[FullLips]

Does anyone have tips for me to get a bigger butt by doing squats. Do I need to lift weights while doing them and how many should I be doing a day for me to start seeing results?

Why do people create new profiles here on CD, and in 20 minutes rack up 5-10 one sentence posts on different threads? Oh, I know, they do it to start trouble and/or trollish type behavior. LOL. Other account was banned or did you just decide to create a new one just for kicks?

You do your own nails, know all about car windshield installation brands and you wonder how to get a big butt from squats? LOL.

YOu can do these at home:

They're very difficult and require a good core/balance/and leg strength.

Thank you it's very helpful, but I'm scared I'll pop my knees doing them one legged squats.

If you're reasonably healthy, you should be fine trying them. If you have knee issues, then definitely avoid, although if you have serious knee issues you probably shouldn't be trying barbell squats as well. If your knee/leg muscles aren't strong enough at first, just try negatives and fall on your butt when you get down low.

My knees always pop so I don't know if that's healthy or not.

Go with a nice wide stance, your butt will grow!

Before you begin to do squats using weights, you should watch videos which show proper squat form.

Mark Rippetoe is a well respected trainer, and he has several very good squat video lessons on YouTube:


Mark Rippetoe: Intro to the Squat - YouTube


Mark Rippetoe: Fixing the Squat: Hip Drive - YouTube

Without proper form, you can potentially hurt your knees, especially if you attempt too much weight right from the start.

I would first practice doing squats with very light weight, just to get your form correct.

Squats will work out your butt (glutes) and your upper leg muscles (hamstring/quads) as well.

This is bad advice. You don't know the condition of the poster. .the athletic ability, etc. Here you are, advising advanced moves for someone.. that is asking about squats and a bigger ass. So, you're also going off thread topic because pistol squats won't help her get a big ass like regular squats would...
