Odeon asked:


I am very skinny, it is usually recommended that I only do squats and deadlifts. How can I gain muscle mass without the use of any weights, or are weights essential to gaining mass?

bored asked:


I asked the chunky butt question earlier, and everyone is telling me to do squats to fix it. Great! I’d love to! Except i fractured my patella (knee cap) last year while running and ever since it has hurt like heck every time I put pressure on it and I can’t even run anymore. Is there an exercise LIKE a squat that I can do that will give me the same results as a squat?

DeFreeze asked:


I realize its an anaerobic resistance, but someone once told me that squats will kick start your metabolism, maybe more so than other resistance exercises. I was also told that commensurate increase in metabolism would lead to a equal increase in appetite, so that, for the exercise to be effective, I really had to watch my diet.

How many squats should I do everyday? I already go on the treadmill for an hour 6 days a week and one day for 30 minutes.

How long will it take to see results?

I’ve read on plenty of sites that squats are the most effective way to drop weight and tone your butt and thighs. Is this true? Also, I have cellulite in my butt and thighs, will squats get rid of it?

mistersmallpants asked:


I have a very simple gold’s gym bench at home. I can do bench press and that’s about it. I would like to do squats also. This is with free weights of course.

What would be a good bench that lets you do squats and bench? I saw one a while ago that has potential to do that but a reviewer said it takes too much to readjust for squat so he doens’t use it for that. ideas?
