The squat is the single best exercise in the gym , and it should also help define your upper body as well. Just make sure you use correct form and you should notice changes. if you are going for more muscle mass, use free weights on your squats, if you are looking to lean out, do standing bodyweight squats or swiss ball squats on a wall, this will work more in defining the muscle.

They do also work glutes. If someone has a fat a$$, squats are helpful in reducing it. Squats mainly work the quad muscles. They do also work glutes.

Men naturally have more muscle mass. When they work out, they gain muscle much more easily than women do. To really build mass, women must work out much harder than men, because their bodies don't want to build muscle mass. When muscle is worked, it first tightens up, appears sleeker, toned, lifted. (That's why people say it makes your butt smaller). As you add weight and intensity to the workout, the muscle grows in bulk (gets bigger). High reps, low weight give shape and definition. Heavy weights, low reps build mass. Same basic exercise, gender and application make the difference. Well the difference in part, is between men and women. Men naturally have more muscle mass.
