- I think the first day I got up to 30 in a row
and immediately was like, no, my hamstrings
are really gonna break apart.
(throbbing soul music)
- I have had body image issues
for pretty much my whole life.
I was always really small and skinny.
I was the smallest kid in my class growing up.
- Genetically, my legs are always
so much bigger than my butt.
I've just never, ever been able to have bigger butt.
I was very interested to see if getting stronger glutes
actually does increase your butt size.
- I pretty much look a 13-year-old boy
with skinny little chicken legs.
But if I can do 100 throughout the day
and I do it throughout the summer,
I'm gonna have Nikki Minaj booty,
like, oh, my god, anacondas in the house.
- I figured it would be doable
because it's just body weight.
Yeah, I was wrong (laughs), that is not what happened.
- Alright, guys, I am all warmed up,
ready to do my first exercise.
100 squats, let's see how this goes.
- What I'm gonna do is divide them into 25,
take breaks in between; this is done right now.
So let's do them.
(discordant R&B music)
Look at that, look at that.
I already got a bigger booty.
(laughs) I'm kidding, of course not.
- When I woke up, I couldn't move.
I'm gonna be honest, it was a little bit harder
than I thought it was gonna be.
- Oh, my god, if this is what it's gonna be for 30 days,
I am out of this, I do not wanna do this.
- The next day, I thought that I would wake up
with tense muscles or unable to walk around,
go up and down the stairs, but I was pretty okay,
which is why you didn't see video of any of that.
It was like, oh, I'm freaking fine.
- Basically, going into this,
I knew that I could already do 100 squats
just because I work out six times a week,
so I wanted to make it a little harder on myself
and I added weight to those squats.
Alright, I just finished all 100, did four sets of 25.
Pretty easy; to be honest, I could go more,
so hopefully, that means my legs are getting a lot stronger.
- You know, being able to do 80 squats in a day
as a max was sort of a little bit depressing.
Trying to do squats and this cat won't leave me alone.
(cat meows)
Oh, now you go away?
I really thought that 100 was gonna be tough,
but not undoable.
- On the first week, you're just
having a lot of fun with it.
This looks stronger, this legs looks stronger,
they look wider; as for booty, I do see it's tightened up,
and it's a little bit uplifted.
It's a matter of discipline.
- It is day 10 of the challenge,
it is early in the morning, 6:30.
Right before going to bed last night,
I was thinking, "Oh, I get to wake up and do the challenge,"
which is so weird to even think.
I'm excited, I think I'm starting to see changes,
like my quads are getting more defined and a little bigger,
and that's why I'm so excited to do this.
I obviously saw that my legs were getting bigger,
but something I noticed about my butt
was that my butt was actually getting more firm.
Butt's getting pretty big too, which isn't bad at all.
- There were definitely times
where I was just doing squats in public
because there was just no other time to do them.
(rock music)
- My legs looked like little bodybuilder's arms.
Look at that; they're super defined.
God, I'm so strong, I don't know what
to do with all this strength. (laughs)
No, seriously, it's been really cool
when you look at the mirror and you love what you're seeing.
- Towards the end of the project,
I actually noticed that I felt a lot stronger.
I, for the first time today, got in 60 squats
without taking a break; I'm kinda proud of myself.
- I think the most surprising thing for this project
was my personal transformation,
not seeing my body change, but actually feeling stronger
at the end of it and knowing that I was actually stronger
because I was lifting more.
I was proud of myself that I cared more about that
than I did about the way that I looked.
(rhythmic music)
(sharply exhales)
- Yes.
- I got a whole fucking extra inch of ass.
That's insane.
(triumphant music)
Oh, my god, there is major freaking change. (giggles)
Oh, my god, dude, I'm just really amazed.
- My butt looks really firm in the after picture,
and toned, and that's great.
In the before picture, it looks super thick,
which is also fine.
My quads definitely got bigger too, which I really like.
- In the after photo, it's like you can see
that my butt's raised a little bit more,
and there's a little bit more definition to it.
It seems like there is a little bit
of difference in my legs.
Even if you just have 20 minutes
or if you are just gonna do squats, or sit-ups, or push-ups.
Do it because it's still gonna make a difference.
You don't need to carve out two hours of your day
in order to get in physical activity.
- Dude, it's 100 squats a day
and have an inch of more booty.
(triumphant music)
