Body Building Exercise

buggin18 asked:


I am very skinny, only 130 lbs at 5′7” 20 years old. My upper body is building up nicely. My lower body is in need of some help lol. Besides squats, what are some good mass workouts to bulk up the legs and lower body? I don’t even really like squats because I always feel my technique is wrong but I know they are important. Opinions?

   Squats are the way to go. Deadlifts and lunges can be great as well. Leg press and leg extensions are terrible for your body. Calf raises only work your calves and are classified as an isolation movement(one joint) and only work one muscle group. Stick to compound movements(multi-joint) which focus on multiple muscle groups. Squats also release the most amount of GH.

   I think you should go check out Ask your questions there and you will get a ton of useful info. I say stick to compound movements like squats, bench press, chins deadlifts. Lift with intensity. Lifting is only part of it, as diet and rest is just as important. Stick to three days a week. Tone is dictated by bodyfat not how many bicep curls you can do. Build the muscle that you want to show off and then lose the bodyfat to reveal and show it off.
