Is this true about butts?

Well, you can take from that site that you are in fact able to improve your butt with the right diet and exercise plan for your goals.cloudbustr wrote: »I would say mostly genetics, but this tumblr may give you hope (check the progress pics): http://fitnessforlife3.tumblr.com/
^ She says she eats around 2370 calories a day and 130g of protein, so you'd be eating at a caloric surplus to build-a-butt like that.
As much as I can appreciate her achievements, it doesn't really provide any hope for me, as a butt like hers would not look good on a girl like me. My thighs are far too muscular already and I would look overweight in anything but shorts.
Her muscles also seem to sit rather high. She even mentioned that somewhere, and mine sit low, even when flexed.
Or you could continue to feel sorry for yourself and whine that you'll never have the butt you want.0 -

A lot of these pictures of really round looking butts are enhanced by lordosis. A curving of the lower spine. Some people do it on purpose for posing for these pics and some have it naturally.
Do your strength training for the glutes to give it the musculature and then lower your body fat to where you feel comfortable. Anything beyond that is really up to genetics and is not worth stressing over.
My young daughter has this posture issue - had it from the time she was a toddler. I have often wondered if it is going to cause her spinal issues as she gets older and if she will be able to correct it. I don't even know how it is comfortable for her to stand like that but it has always been that way...0 -
Start doing real deep Barbell Squats! It obviously won't look exactly like that but it will help.0

Standing like the girl on the right on purpose under the age of 18 will get you slapped in my husband's family. My youngest sister-in-law used to do it. I'm not saying standing that way on purpose signals that one is easy, but let's just say girlfriend is thirsty.
That is a freaking ridiculous thing to suggest. Unbelievable. It certainly says more about your husband's family than your young sister-in-law.

there is a difference between poor posture- and true spinal curving that causes this.
I naturally sit back- and I fight every day to focus on pulling my lower abs in and lengthening the spine- allowing it to point straight down instead of back and out.
Every.
Day.
I do this because I'm a dancer- and I want to dance and have good alignment- and be able to do the things I need to dance properly... but it's SUCH a big deal- I practice EVERY day- at home- at work- walking to work.
Practicing good posture takes work- and practice- but it CAN be improved.0 -

Agree. Just thought I would point it out. I hope it did not come across that I was suggesting people do it.madrose0715 wrote: »mustgetmuscles1 wrote: »The dents show up when flexing and at lower body fat.

It is not good and can get worse. There are corrective exercises for it.

Having either one of those butts would be win win x 1,0000

I've always had a full backside, but before that was because it was all butt-pudge. Never the less, it was still round but I wanted to see less cellulite and whatnot. I expected that eventually I'd end up with one of those big round butts that you see on instagram all the time, except I noticed mine was getting flatter and...Longer/rectangular? I started googling and I read in many places that the typical, pretty round butt that I always thought was achieved from exercise and good health
A butt like this:
is purely genetic and just well-placed butt fat.
And that if you exercise your butt muscles, you're going to end up with a butt like this:
I really hate having dents in the side of my butt. I know it's a sign of definition, but is it really not possible to make outer sides of my buttcheeks round? It's like a straight line from my waist to my mid thigh and I hate it. There's no curve on the sides whatsoever.
Quoting. Well because butts0 -

WTF? Strong hate.
The first butt looks like good fat distribution + air brushed.

Cool.
Anyway, I've actually seen that exact picture floating around before. I think it's from a model for a lingerie store. If her shape isn't altered at all, she likely has airbrushed cellulite. It's up to you to decide what you think is worth it.

They like the way you stick it out.

a) Not sticking it out on purpose. It's bad posture plus what I think is some real curvature. My niece has it too. Yikes.
b) You're probably right about why they didn't mention it.

Wow...just wow. Seriously? It was a joke. Get that stick out of your *kitten* and get over yourself.
Are you 12 years old or something? That was not written in any way to suggest you were joking - or do you even read what it is you write? What a minute - it is clear you do not.
No, I'm actually 13. Sheesh, you're something else. What I said was absolutely written in a way to suggest I was joking. Perhaps your reading comprehension is a bit off. As I said, get the hell over yourself.
^ Oh, and the comment about being 13 was SARCASM. Is that clear enough for you?
No, my reading comprehension is just fine, thanks. However your ability to express yourself with the supposed claim that you were joking was sorely lacking. Don't blame me for your inability to express your intended message correctly.
Get the hell over myself? lol. I'm just fine, thanks. Don't worry, you already have a defender on board because apparently, he too - thought you were serious. You can go play in the backyard with the other kiddies - got nothing more to say on this.
He gave a solution. You just showed how butthurt you were.
This one wonders, is that a favor worth returning?
I have not flagged one person, thanks. And my commentary was not directed to the gentleman who provided a solution regarding my daughter. Keep up, please.
You're flagging, and it's not fair sport. Uncool, ladybro.
uhmmm...okay - whatever you say. Enjoy yourself.

I have some posture issues and a posterior pelvic tilt which is basically the opposite of sticking it out.
#teamnobutt
They were not severe enough that anyone ever mentioned them but when I was looking up ways to fix my problems I came across some of these other issues and they just stick out to me now.

LOL, you're punny.
Guessing that there was nothing severe enough to mention for me (or the niece) either, but my dad has pretty severe scoliosis, as did his sister and brother and my sis (Niece's mom). Both spine curvature disorders, so I'm going to hound my sis to get it checked for my niece.
While I know my posture is awful and I have to be super conscious to correct it, even then, I never feel like I can get the bottom spine aligned.0 -
