Work your bottom to gain the whole!

you know the old saying you want it hard, you better play it harder... hahaha.... (DON'T STRAY) but in truth, there is no such thing as a shortcut if you wanna gain quality.. and if you want that quality, you better follow the rules... and WORK ON THOSE CORES..

What are cores? well, The major core exercise are Squats, Deadlifts, bench press and chin ups .. these are the exercise which will help you get all your muscles working.. THESE are the EXERCISE which will help you put thickness on those fibers within... Trust me, I've been pumping Bench Press for 1 month and BOOM!! I don't work squats much cause im a little lazy.. lol.. but once i get down to it, it's a DAY DEDICATED to SQUATS.... and gosh, i feel like im going to puke each time... but hey, you wanna build bigger, thicker and quality muscles, You'd better!!

But please be reminded, As long as it's to do with movements even if it comes down to lifting your fingers, there is a risk of injury.. so do get expert advice and spot before you attempt any of these awesome core exercise...

Smith Machine Squat


The Squat is the best exercise to build mass for the quadriceps femoris or better known as the thigh. But a lot of precaution has to be taken in executing this exercise to avoid injuries to the knees and the ankles. The Squat is also the no1 killer for the knees if done wrongly.

I love doing this exercise with the smith machine. At least safety is taken care of if not 100%. Furthermore, I can control my movements as not to sway compared to the free bar squats. But that's not the main point. To perform a squat, most importantly is to watch out for your knees when you lower your body. Make sure the knees doesn't surpass the toes. As such motion would cause a lot of pressure on the knee causing wear and tear. 2nd, always push your butt out towards the rear and not going downwards. This motion would resemble a sitting position. 3rdly, never straighten your knees at the peak to avoid too much pressure on the knees directly.

and most importantly, always do a warm up set.... Happy Squatting.
