Genetics.

Have you tried eating in bulk so some of the muscle gains and fat gains go to your butt.

Try that with praying. That kind of all you can do. Also those girls you see with the squat butts. What they do not tell you is how much work that takes.

Also there are other exercises that give more benefits to the glutes. Hip thrust is a good booty feeling exercise. Also you been squatting forever. Do you feel squats in your butt because I know I do not.

Look into a program like strong curves...but really, a lot of that is genetics. Doing programs like strong curves along with proper diet can help you shape and sculpt things a bit, but you're not going to go from flat butt to J-Lo butt or anything like that.

This, check out Bret Contreras', "the glute guy", website. Hip thrusts will be your go to exercise.

If you're butt is as flat as a pancake you're not going to turn it into a bubble. I lay on the floor and raise my hips using my butt muscles, that really helps with toning, but beyond that it's down to genetics.

yup that's the basic movement, but you need to load it up with a bar bell. The glutes are your biggest muscle, you can shift some serious weight with them. Average female should be repping 225 pounds in a couple months.

I am a quad dominant squatter and I have had better luck in terms of enhancing glute looks/power with barbell hip thrusts and some accessory lifts like cable abduction, back extensions, and heavy kettle bell swings. Google Strong Curves (Bret Contreras) and check out the exercises he has listed.

Strong Curves by Brett Contreras. I could see the difference by the 5th week. Get the book, it explain everything really well and there are lots different programs, pick one that works for you the best and stick with it.

No you will not have J-Lo butt but it will improve the shape. Good luck!

Okay, because I was already feeling blue about my crappy 170 last week.

My hip thrusts are super light. Just started three weeks ago.

Bodyweight squats won't get you very far. Look around the house for something heavy to hold, like a stack of books, a box with canned food, or wear a weighted backpack. Or hold one of your kids. You want to get fatigued after around 10 reps, not 40.
