I'm not going to do any more Squats, like ever! I keep seeing all these posts about not bulking up from them, then pictures of people doing squats with these bottoms you can bounce a coin off of. I don't want to look like that. I want to bulk up. I'm OFF squats, its only curls and bench presses for me. Guys stop doing SQUATS, OR YOU WILL END UP LOOKING LIKE A GIRL!

Case in point, If you do squats guys your going to end up looking like this.

    Lol, it depends on your genetics - what your butt will look like.

    I've been training for about 3 years now, and I don't see any sudden change the way my butt looks..

    I have reverted to using the vertical sliding Smith machine for my squats. This machine enables me to concentrate on my legs. I can place my feet forward of the vertical line of my body, and I can't fall back, like I would using a barbell. Thus, with my back straight, feet about 10 inches apart, and my knees straight ahead. I do tension squats, going three-quarters of the way down and coming up to a position a quarter of the way form the top. The movement gives my thighs an incredible burn and gets the more lateral muscles. I always do this one before a contest. I burn out as many reps as I can, never completing a movement If you lock out, you give your muscles a chance to rest, and that 's not what you want. you have to torture the muscle with unusual training so that it will respond.

    What about deloading so you can do this safely with a barbell? Even with less weight, still more benefits than using a Smith.
