Since we are in the subject, can someone explain why squats are one of the best workouts out there?

It takes a little bit of practice, but overall it's a fairly natural movement, which means again functional strength, but also good proportions in building. i know you would've seen those guys with massive thighs doing squats, but it's far easier to get a disproportionately large chest/arms/whatever because you can isolate to that muscle. Most guys who do squats are very well proportioned.

I agree. I've seen plenty of big benchers/curlers who couldn't squat crap, but a big squater is usually a strong bastard overall. If you're willing to put in the work of heavy squats, you'll be rewarded with overall strength.
Thanks for the info. However, if I want to be more toned and cut overall, and not necessarily buff or get stronger or get bigger arms/thighs, is squats still ideal? Also, can you get the same benefits if I do squats without weights? It's just I am pretty happy with how my clothes fit but I could use some toning up with out bulking up too much, ie: getting bigger arms or thighs. Should I try and incorporate squats?
Thanks for the info.
