Question among female lifters (and quite a few male lifters) everywhere. Will squats help you develop an attractive backside? Will they give you the glutes of an Olympian? Will they have you looking like Kim Kardashian??
Well if I may offer my testimonial ;) Yes squats indeed develop your butt in a major way. To what extent? Well that detail solely relies on your genetics, but all glute muscles have the potential to be properly developed through squats.
The key you might ask to putting some 'Mass on dat Ass', is moderate to heavy deep squat training. Yes that will inevitably include you using weights and a wee bit of exertion. Most importantly it will also include some know-how. MUCH TOO OFTEN do I see the squat performed horrifically. These people will never truly see the endless benefits of squatting. Depth is more than often the main fault I witness. This is absolutely crucial for 'dat squat booty'. Having your hips past parallel on the squat is what enables your glutes and hamstrings to become engaged.
More importantly than shaping the butt, the squat will effectively hit the most muscles within your body than any other movement. Therefore this essential exercise reigns king. Yes going deep may be uncomfortable and difficult at first, but you can't outweigh the benefits. Plus going Ass to Grass will make you look like a badass since nobody else in commercial gyms do it :p .
P.S.
And no LADIES weighted movements will not make you "bulky". Let's face it, your half-assed bodyweight squats in your bedroom have not gotten you any closer to looking like Nicki Minaj than it would me.
