    Definitely weight! I say where's the fun in squatting body weight only :)? Plus it's not just for your butt, there's so many other benefits to squatting for your back and core... That said do what you can and start light...

    The fun is in working towards being able to sit slowly down on one leg only and then squat back up on one leg from "*kitten* to grass" to standing. It's called a Pistol Squat and it is great fun. It's a real blast having that feeling where you are totally in control of your own body. Great for your back and core as well!

    Is this a trick question?

    In case not, with weights of course! Dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells... body weight is fine for warm ups and when learning form or when just doing 30ds.

    I don't think the OP was posting a trick question. Bodyweight is fine for warmups and learning form, but can also be made increasingly harder to keep strength gains going.
