Can I get any results from bodyweight squats?

[Anonymous]

Hey. So I'm pretty skinny and I don't need to lose weight at all so please don't tell me to "lose fat."

I have learned how to do a squat properly so I've got the form right. I did 30 yesterday, then 60 fire hydrants, some lunges and some glute bridges. Today I was sore but I did 20 squats, 30 fire hydrants, and some glute bridges.
Can this improve the appearance of my butt if I stick with it? I'm looking to lift it/round it. I'm not expecting crazy results but some. I know that weights give better results but I'm broke as shit right now.

If I do this everyday will I get results?

U wanna bigger butt. Butt consists of glute muscles. Muscles get bigger with weight. The heavier the weight, the bigger your butt will be. Long story short, LIFT HEAVY. There's a vid on YouTube "so you think you can squat" great lessons for amateurs and advanced lifters

It will builds some muscle and the way you're doing it also adds some cardio aspect to it. I do really encourage weighted exercise though 'cause your body responds to it more aggressively allowing more muscle to active and also grow. But as of now you should be fine.

i would do glute bridges, with weights if u can along with step ups, with weights, lunges, with weights, as well as normal squats but with weights. also try some plyos as well such as sprints, split lunge jumps, box jumps, squat jumps. message me i have a great butt

Don't do it everyday, do something like m/w/f with a option for Sunday. And if you can't use weights, hold something around the house while you do them. And try doing them in 4-5 sets of 10~ reps. If you stick with it, it will absolutely help the appearance of your butt.

Do you think a gallon of milk will work?

[h4teful1]

Anything is better then nothing. And like that other guy suggested, loading up a backpack would work great.

Lol do not drink a gallon of whole milk a day!!! Please! You will get fat

[Asker]

@oldtom188 pretty sure that's not what we were talking about? Just when I thought people on this site could read...

I wouldn't listen to the guys saying to do sets of 10 reps.

That works with weights, but since you're talking about body weight squats, which is a type of calisthenic, you want to do as much as you can. Start doing them every other day, ex: Monday Wednesday and Friday and then later on if you want, try every day. Just make sure you're eating enough food.

Yea i dont think you want a "muscley ass" so i wouldn't recomend the squat rack but definitely keep doing what your doing change the exercises every week or so though or you will find no progress

yes but you should stretch your legs and glutes for a minimum 30 secs each stretch for better recovery and growth. After a few weeks switch up your routine to shock the muscle again or it will become immune to your exercise regime resulting in less results - Personal Trainer 5 years experience. :)

Not really. And squats aren't all about losing weight. Its more for strength and shaping. It will shape your ass and legs so that they look nice. But only if you do weighted squats.

3 times a week so your muscles have time to rebuild. Squat low and do about 3 sets of 5-8 reps. Wear a backpack and put some weight in it when you can do 3 sets of 8 easily. Don't forget to work your other muscles either.

[goretcki]

If you don't have a backpack, do pistol squat progressions.

Nah, It might give you some cm noob gains but nothing strong. Join a gym

[Asker]

Like I said I don't have the money for it right now.

There are lot of bodyweight exersises but it would only get you toned

[oldtom188]

It might do a little if you've never worked your legs out before. I suggest going to a gym and finding a squat rack, if you want good results.
