Along with the rise of the gym craze that has enraptured the gay community came an unwelcome side effect: Chicken Legs Syndrome, that unflattering body type cultivated by muscle Marys who look like theyve been pumping iron while in a wheelchair.

But if you want sexy legs and a nice ass, squats are a really great exercise to start out with, even if youre doing them with light weights. And its really important while doing squats to contract the muscles in the butt.
