Leg mass=ass mass

[Terd]

I've read that sqauts are thee best leg exercise for mass, but also tend to make your glutes larger. Are there any variations or other exercises that minimize glute involvment?

TIA

sure - hacks, lunges and front squats

I personally hate hacks, but I will squat, and front squat all day long. Or at least until I feel sick. Squats are the way to go. Make sure you go deep, even past parallel. Do them super slow too. Get a real feel for the weight. My partner and I will do a 4 second squat routine. That means we squat down until the count of 4. That helps us learn to slow our squat, and get a better feel for the exercise.

Lunges definitely DO NOT minimize glute growth. Lunges are great for building up your glutes...ever notice how fuckin sore your glutes are after lunges? Peace

I would have to agree. I did lunges on Tues., and my glutes are still tender today.

Unless you have a HUGE ass already, dont worry about squatting. The benefits you reap will far outweigh any glute growth.

I agree with heavywear.

Personally, I could use a little more glute mass, suffering from Caucasian Booty Syndrome as I do.

squats are the cure for caucasian booty syndrome. they make that ass go BLAM. wish more women would figure this one out.

i have a rather large ass, but i love squatting. maybe i should do more direct quad and ham work to make the rest of my body proportionate to my humongous ass

my girl likes my shapely ass. so squats and lunges are definitely in the picture indefinitely.

Now if I can only get HER back in the squat rack......
