          hey Mike … i remember reading about this, but what causes this? i have a coaching colleague who says we shouldn’t have our girls ATG squat because it will add mass to their butts. i am one of a few at my school promoting the ATG and i need all the help i can get. btw, the girls love them!

          Hypertrophy aka “adding mass to their butts” is a product of intensity and volume not exercise selection.

          Exercise selection plays a role.

          Well, obviously doing bicep curls at the right volume and intensity for hypertrophy will not create a bigger butt. That’s all i meant.

          If the lifters arent taking in enough calories, then youll see very minimal changes in body composition, esp if theyre not new to lifting.
