Keeping the Ass in check?

[casualbb]

There's a bit you can do.
1) Leg Extensions. Yeah everybody wants to look at it as the panzy exercise but it works.
2) Squats only to parallel instead of full. EMG studies have shown that, past parallel, quad activation is no greater but glute activation increases significantly.

gymtime-- extensions are a good one...

also-- platform deadlifts where you stick a 45 pound plate under each foot so it forces you to go lower so your using more legs.

Extensions do do jack for my leg mass but they sure as hell wreak havoc on my knees. As for them working that is debatable, show me a high end athlete (power or BB) who got his/her leg mass by not implementing squat/legpress or dead and relied on extension for mass. I usually only squat to paralell myself.

MsBeverlyHills, ya lost me on the 45 plates under feet, how does that make/force you to go lower?

I've never met anyone who had big legs and a small butt...

I've never met anyone who had TOO big of a butt...unless it was because it was covered with 20 pounds of fat...

I have big legs and a big butt...I squat and deadlift...and I am fairly strong.

No exercise is going to build big or strong legs without building a big and strong butt.

Remember that song from the 80's "I like big butts"? By sir mix a lot? "when a girl walks in with a tiny little waist and and a round thing in your face, you get stuffed...." Looks like I'm gonna have "an LA face with an Oakland booty"1

I'm so in the big ass club.

I got measured for my wedding tux and the dude (like 60+ yrs old) was like wow! Just when I thought it was in my head.

My wife loves it and I have gotten more than a few ladies in the past say they liked my ass - I think a muscular ass is sexy to the same women who like muscle or strong men.

Buy bigger pants and squat.

Adezzz...I think you're going to need to post a pic.


Obviously, I don't have a problem with a lil junk in the trunk. Kinda comes with the territory.
