Alright thanks! Wow, I could never just forget how many reps I've done ๐ I'm the kind of person that needs the exact amount, lol. Is it better to lift a heavier weight with less sets or to do lighter weight weight with more sets?
Do medium with as many sets as u can do, until u feel it out for what is best. Don't try to workout back to back days, rest and recover and hit it again 48 hours later, good luck!
Yummm love me some testosterone :) should I? I could. Man, I'm just so sick of the betas and bitches on this site, they don't shut up. A post about gains I feel like they would just try to pick so many fights on, ugh. What do you think?
Ya it's funny takling to girls you say "build muscle" and they are all "omg no i dont want to get muscly eww", but if you say "get toned" .. "where do we sign up?" hahaha
Not really. You have to overload your muscles with weight for them to break down and grow. You must lift heavy, lots of girls don't bc they are worried about getting too "muscly" but that's a myth. No one accidentally gets jacked.
Focus in foods with high protein. Thanks for reading and good luck!
Thanks for the Take! I do most of these already daily (I do not dead lift), but I'm afraid I still don't have much to work with. As long as I'm toned, that'll be ok with me.
You have to go heavy. If u can do 150 reps you are doing basically no weight. Crush your muscles, rest and go at it another day, don't try to lift consecutive days, you break down your muscles when u work out and u need to give your body rest and good nutrition to recover and grow. Good luck!
You have to be using enough weight to hit failure within a certain rep range, usually 8-12 reps. If you can do more than that without having to rest for a little bit the weight is too light and you won't see the results you want.
Well step-ups is already part of my routine for alternate days., I already have hard thighs, was wondering how to make the ass part tight. You solved the curiosity mate...
I got to agree with @consultantisback here nothing wrong with smith squats look at all the guys with tree trunk legs at the gym, they squat on the smith or they do at my gym. Adds more mass because you can isolate you legs without the need to worry about being stable means more weight, weight equals intensity and more muscle micro tears = growth
Smith machines do not allow for proper form or positioning. Beside you should not be isolating with squats. It is not designed for that. @whimper87 the balance should be gained first. The Smith machine will not help you with developing balance which means some muscles need balancing out.
@Marstalk It does allow for proper form and positioning.. in fact, that's the reason it was invented!! haha, think about it for a second.
The criticism of Smith Machines lies in the fact that it removes the free stabilization of the weights like free weights. But that doesn't knock out the effectiveness entirely.
@Marstalk Well its definitely debated. Lots of people say it's dangerous, risky, etc. But so are free weights too. I'm just saying I don't agree with discouraging someone away from a Smith Machine if they feel it is safer for them than free weights.
@Marstalk Alright guys, I've been going to the gym for 10 years now and I had the trainers there suggest I use the smith because of my knees/balance. So I am still going to use the smith lol
@Marstalk Assuming there is one correct workout program/road in fitness makes you look naive, just thought you should know. There's no one right way to go about it.
@Marstalk I won't have joint problems, that's not the problem now, it's the way my right knee turns outwards. I was born that way and so was my dad. I am a certified health coach myself and am not clueless about fitness. You are generalizing a method instead of specifying one. Different workouts work better for different people, no two people are alike.
Okay, well I am saying squats on a Smith machine no matter the feet positioning is worse than free squats, leg press, or lunges. But since your knees are not positioned correct I guess keep doing what you are doing.
Also I have yet to meet anyone who works out and does not get joint issues. It comes with the territory. Unless you are on who does not lift much.
@Marstalk I eat an organic, high Omega-3, balanced PH diet. I also take many suppliments for my health. Annddd I'm only 23, I am still very young so I'd be concerned if I had joint issues already!
@ConsultantslsBack Nope, I agree not every specialized work out works for everybody. What I have an issue with is what equipment they are using for certain movements. Smith machines are great if you are going for a hack squat style since you can get the proper angle, but for standard squats it seems to be a toss up.
@Marstalk Diets do not offer enough supplementation anymore because of the lack of nutirents in modern day soil. Ha ha don't agrue with me on this point, I specialize in this, my mother has a degree in this, and my best friend is a naturopathic doctor :p
@Billlewis Man She is One of those 80's Born Gem ๐ Generation forget the Booty. Her Ethics and Morals must be 10 Times Better than Girl's Today!.. ๐
Why are you bitching him out? He never once said he wants everyone to confirm to his definition of attractiveness. He's just giving some good advice to those interested in gaining some size in the glutes, and you're hating on him for it. May not be a feminist but that's definetly feminist like behaviour. Also, yes these do work for everyone. Yes there are circumstances where your body is so fucked that you have to work on other things before these but if you want to generalize, then again, yes they work on everyone.
@mytaker just because a female doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean you go get all sensitive and call her a "feminist". I can tell you're one of those who mindlessly throw that term around. That's child's play and proves that you haven't fully developed mentally as a man yet. You and the little follow up boys agreeing with you.
I go to they gym almost daily. I know how much a squat regiment can change the appearance of your butt. I have been doing a lot of weight lifting consistently when I workout and it produces results.
Well, it depends. The Latinas who have more European/Middle Eastern ancestry usually have big butts.
The Latinas with mostly indigenous/Native American ancestry don't. If you've ever seen real South American Natives, they have extremely flat butts, maybe even more than Asians.
Her knees go too far past her feet, she did that with a bar she would buckle.'good take man, personally I find u want a tight booty u gotta hit you hamstrings to. Sumo squats are great as are hip thrusts, my glutes burn for days after those
I'll have to do that on my own since the Body Pump class doesn't allow for that. Oh, on the lunges, have you tried "raised lunges"? It's where you get on a "bench" (those "step class" "benches") with your front foot / leg and raise and lower your knee to the height of the bench.
Haha nice. There's this gym goddess at my gym that is fit af and wears these shorts that say "She Squats" omggggggggg... if only her boyfriend wasn't with her. lol.

Great exercises that I'm already doing at the gym, but I never get how many sets & reps I should do, any advice there? :)
4 sets of 8-12 is a good guideline. Tbh I don't really count reps, I just do a shitload of sets until my muscles are screaming in pain.
Alright thanks!
Wow, I could never just forget how many reps I've done ๐ I'm the kind of person that needs the exact amount, lol.
Is it better to lift a heavier weight with less sets or to do lighter weight weight with more sets?

Thanks for the help! I feel motivated ๐ช๐ผ
Write a take about gainz and bulking & shredding...
Make sure testosterone is in there too...
😂
Yummm love me some testosterone :) should I? I could. Man, I'm just so sick of the betas and bitches on this site, they don't shut up. A post about gains I feel like they would just try to pick so many fights on, ugh. What do you think?
It's inevitable that there's gonna be bitching and crying...
Never has there been one take on this website where someone hasn't tried to target and shoot at.
This take isn't really that much different to one of gains ๐
hahah thats true man
Those are some good ways to exercise, at gym I do 2 4 5 and they sure do the job.
Most important in my opinion is continuity, I mean, don't stop your routine, have no break days for no reason. :)
Way to go man! Thanks for reading!
Yes, thank you. It is "getting toned." ;P #1, though... I like 'em, but they're a killer.
Excellent myTake as usual! Thanks for the tips!
Ya it's funny takling to girls you say "build muscle" and they are all "omg no i dont want to get muscly eww", but if you say "get toned" .. "where do we sign up?" hahaha
Thanks for reading :)
Hahahaha. Well, we just don't want to look like you. You look good, but I'd look funny with your muscles. xD
Will squats without weights still build up a booty? Also what foods will help?
Not really. You have to overload your muscles with weight for them to break down and grow. You must lift heavy, lots of girls don't bc they are worried about getting too "muscly" but that's a myth. No one accidentally gets jacked.
Focus in foods with high protein. Thanks for reading and good luck!
Oh that sucks lol "/ thank you for replying tho very much appreciated.
Nice take. But I just do the brazilian butt lift workout.
Sounds great!, what is that exactly?
It's a workout plan from beachbody. com. All the workouts aid in toning the body but it primarily focus on exercises to lift and accentuate your butt.
Ohhhh yeah i have a friend that sells the beach boy programs.
Lol, really? I bought mines on amazon.
Thanks for the Take! I do most of these already daily (I do not dead lift), but I'm afraid I still don't have much to work with. As long as I'm toned, that'll be ok with me.
Awesome take. I think I'll incorporate the sumo deadlift when I'm recovered.
I recommend wearing a sumo fat outfit too. Really works!! ๐๐๐
Lmao sumo fat outfit doing sumo deadlifts would be so funny haha funny mental image
That would be awesome! And I just naopen to have one...
*happen ๐
Do it and post to gag, please!!
That's just what I needed, thanks ;) Maybe I'll finally have a butt with these exercices ^^
Good luck! Thanks for reading
Ya starting at your age is perfect
Does the age influence something?
Also, how many "repetitions" of each exercices would you recommend? I usually do 150 squats per day and 50 but lifts but I don't see a lot of results
You have to go heavy. If u can do 150 reps you are doing basically no weight. Crush your muscles, rest and go at it another day, don't try to lift consecutive days, you break down your muscles when u work out and u need to give your body rest and good nutrition to recover and grow. Good luck!
Nice take man ^^
I wish you were my personal trainer:)
Haha thanks for reading Sarra :)
I'd love to workout with you!
Yeeyโค
Only if you do not have a don't-date-personal-trainers rule tho k?
Is there a certain amount? You have to do for a certain amount of days>
You have to be using enough weight to hit failure within a certain rep range, usually 8-12 reps. If you can do more than that without having to rest for a little bit the weight is too light and you won't see the results you want.
@WeaponZero agree.
Lift heavy!
Great take!
Just one question do girls like a nice round ass on man?
Totally, a tight ass, absolutely
Okay 10 minutes to squat everyday
No, work your legs/glutes every third day.. don't work the same muscle group every day, it won't be able to recover and grow if you overtrain them :)
Well step-ups is already part of my routine for alternate days., I already have hard thighs, was wondering how to make the ass part tight. You solved the curiosity mate...
Thanks man
Nice I can say I done all of these through out the whole year i have a round ass already all I need to focus on firming my legs :)
Oh nice! โบ keep it up and thanks for reading.
Do you do leg extensions, lunges, leg curls for your legs?
I do lunges and when I go to the gym (rarely) I do some leg extensions. But I work out at home or at a park.
oh I wanna see
I do 8 sets of 8 reps on the smith-squat machine with 150 pounds (I have bad balance). It's growing my booty quickly!
Ooooo 150 pounds impressiveeee !!
Thanks for reading
My goal is 220 by this time next year! Thank you!
Stay away from that Smith machine when squatting.
@Marstalk I have to use the smith machine because if my balance. I already know using the bar is better.
There's nothing wrong with the Smith Machine.

@Marstalk Well its definitely debated. Lots of people say it's dangerous, risky, etc. But so are free weights too. I'm just saying I don't agree with discouraging someone away from a Smith Machine if they feel it is safer for them than free weights.
Free weights are dangerous but given that even in squats the bar does not just move vertically. I would encourage old fashion squats.
@Marstalk Alright guys, I've been going to the gym for 10 years now and I had the trainers there suggest I use the smith because of my knees/balance. So I am still going to use the smith lol
Really because of your knees? That machine is horrible on the knees.
@Marstalk No, it helps me keep my balance better and not twist me knee again.
You would be better off just doing leg presses then.
@Marstalk Leg presses do not work your glutes much. Sorry bud, I know more about this stuff than you do obviously.
Lol, sure guess 16 years of research and training makes me ignorant. Just enjoy the glucosamine and chondroitin, by the tons later in life.
@Marstalk Assuming there is one correct workout program/road in fitness makes you look naive, just thought you should know. There's no one right way to go about it.

@hamper87 Why do you take supplements? That diet should be well round so that supplements are not needed.
@Marstalk Diets do not offer enough supplementation anymore because of the lack of nutirents in modern day soil. Ha ha don't agrue with me on this point, I specialize in this, my mother has a degree in this, and my best friend is a naturopathic doctor :p
@homper87, he'll argue everything for eternity. He's obviously not really involved in the fitness world.
Wow u could lift my body squat right away! I weigh 190
I have a perfect round Latina butt, but I still do squats to keep it firm.
Somehow, I get the feeling that's not the only thing about you that's perfect;)

Yeah... because everyone wants to conform to your definition of 'attractive'.
Nope - these don't work for everyone - no matter how hard they try.
Gotta love those feminists arguing everything in life lol
Hahaha Not a feminist, but you're right there. xD
Why are you bitching him out? He never once said he wants everyone to confirm to his definition of attractiveness.

@imnotcrearive *fist bump brother* I'm so sick of having to explain myself like that on gag, thanks man
Lol
Haha I got you.
She is just sad she has a terrible body lmao.
@tony72722 I swear no matter how diplomatic I am on gag there's always a couple people that get offended or throw a hissy fit about something lol
Lol feminism @ it's finest.
@mytaker just because a female doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean you go get all sensitive and call her a "feminist". I can tell you're one of those who mindlessly throw that term around. That's child's play and proves that you haven't fully developed mentally as a man yet. You and the little follow up boys agreeing with you.
@Realfire22 Most definitely. Too much brain power for one night.
@consultantisback Bro.. We are getting roasted by feminism. I have no choice but to be submissive right now.. She's going ham on us. Too much.
I agree. I don't feel like verbally beating u males upside the head with my verbal rollingpin anymore than y'all want me to.
@LittleSally Kudos for saying it how it is. Feminism has nothing to do with it. Not everyone wants to play this game of "who can get the biggest bum"!
@dogbert444 @realfire22 @all other annoying fucks that won't shut up
Please go away no one cares about you here.. just go
I go to they gym almost daily. I know how much a squat regiment can change the appearance of your butt. I have been doing a lot of weight lifting consistently when I workout and it produces results.
Thanks for reading!!
Do all of those and I have a flat ass XD
Lol Amy you are young and growing! Latinas generally have nothing to worry about in this department lol.
I do XDDD
and the diet? what do you recommend for a big booty but slim waist? XD is it even possible? lol
High protein, but not high in overall caloriesโบ
oh okay, I'm taking whey protein
Whey is the best, quickest and highest absorption.
then I'm doing good XD
hope I get results in less than a month lol
No Amy, you have to be patient for results. If you are impatient you will lose motivation. Remember fitness is a lifestyle not a singular event. โบ
meeeeeeeh :(
*cheers you on* gooo Amy!!!
Hahaha okay okay!!! :D I'll go at 17:00, now it's too early lol
Oh yeah, you're still young! No wirries Amy, it'll come
@BelleGirl21 hopefully XDDD
@ConsultantIsBack

I'm working on it. 😃1, 3, 4, and 5 are good to go.
Try out the Sumo deadlifts man, you'll love them!
I'll have to do that on my own since the Body Pump class doesn't allow for that. Oh, on the lunges, have you tried "raised lunges"? It's where you get on a "bench" (those "step class" "benches") with your front foot / leg and raise and lower your knee to the height of the bench.

Yes totally! Love those!
