SQUATS don't make buttocks big.

Illiterate gym bros mislead women that if they focus on squats, they will have curvy hips & bootylicious bums.

They also misinform men that if they do squats, their buttocks will be feminine.

Dismiss these lies.

Thread...

#BetterTogether
The muscles of the buttocks are known as GLUTEAL MUSCLES.

The gluteal muscles are in a grouping of three muscles:

- Gluteus maximus

- Gluteus medius

- Gluteus minimus

#BetterTogether
The gluteus maximus is the most superficial as well as largest of the three muscles and makes up most of the shape and form of the buttock and hip area.

It is large and powerful because it has the job of keeping the trunk of the body in an erect posture.

#BetterTogether
It is the chief antigravity muscle that helps in:

- Standing up from sitting,

- Straightening from a bending position,

- Walking upstairs or on a hill,

- Walking and Running.

#BetterTogether
The Gluteus Maximus supports the pelvis & trunk,

- important when a person is standing on one leg.

If you cannot stand upright after sitting,

- or you have backache during standing after bending/sitting,

then you have weak gluteal muscles.

#BetterTogether
Also, if you easily lose balance when you try to stand on one leg, then your gluteal muscles are weak.

A person with strong gluteal muscles can stand on one leg without easily falling over.

#BetterTogether
Therefore, if you have weak gluteus muscles, you need to prioritize squats in these variations:

- Body weight squats

- Goblet squats

- Barbel squats

- Jefferson squats

#BetterTogether
You can also incorporate:

- Stiff Leg Deadlift

- One-legged deadlift with dumbbells

- Walking lunges

- Bulgarian split squats

These will also strengthen your gluteal muscles.

#BetterTogether
Big buttocks are a sheath of fats stored in the gluteal area layering the gluteal muscles.

Big buttocks in men are a result of too much oestrogen in the body due to what is known as AROMATIZATION which is the conversion of Testosterone to oestrogen.

#BetterTogether
Oestrogen is a fat-accumulation hormone. It prioritizes the accumulation of fats in the hips, buttocks and chest.

Women have curvy hips, breasts and big buttocks because of oestrogen.

1. DISPOSITION

Walking into the Embassy's offices can humble & deflate your ego.

Don't appear inferior, timid, and frail.

Build confidence in your steps, face, gestures, voice & eyes.

Your demeanor says a lot about your leadership attitude.

#MasculinitySaturday
2. INTRODUCE

Create a rapport with the panel.

Integrate yourself with the mood of the room.

Deflate the room tension by smiling & taking a deep pulmonary breath.

Introduce yourself & what you do.

"My name is", NOT "My names are"

Talk like an AFRIKAN.

Here are 10 Reasons why you are relapsing and struggling to quit MASTURBATION

Thread 🧵

#BetterTogether
1. You have not changed your environment.

Your mind is the product of your environment. Don't be stuck in an environment that triggers cravings.

Get into a new environment, and meet new peers. Take charge of your space.

Be the architect of your environment, not the victim.
2. You don't have a HABIT TRACKER

A habit tracker ensures you account for the successes and failures in your healing journey.

Eg "If I masturbate, I must send 10 dollars to Amerix, every relapse is 10 dollars or I will switch off my phone for 24 hours."
