    Squats, squats, squats, squats. I know the 30-day squat challenge sounds like a gimmick, but it's not.

    Okay the bigger part might not happen just an FYI...to get a bigger butt you really need to either have more fat on it or more muscle.

    But to make it lift and be hard yah squats and DL's are the bomb...

    I started with the 30 day squat thing and gave myself a good butt lift since then squatting heavy has firmed it up but it's not bigger.

    In order to really lift your butt, your training should be centered around squats and deadlifts. Getinmymouth mentioned a lot of good accessory lifts to go with it. The best of which I feel are barbell hip thrust, cable kickbacks, and stiff legged deadlifts.

    I would also like to add to cardio:

    Cycling, rowing, parkour, rock climbing, or anything that requires power and incorporates full range of the glutes, simulating squatting.

    You know, because who the eff wants to to box squats every day?

    ETA: Have you ever seen a professional cyclists *kitten*? They're HUGE and seem to defy gravity.

    Seconding the Strong Curves recommendation. I'm doing it now and am noticing results.

    That's a very good list. I prefer kneeling cable kick backs as it gives more focus on my glutes. I also love the glute/ham machine...well I hate it actually but love the results. It's super hard to do. I make sure to work my glute meds as well using cables lifting my leg to the side. Love sumo squats too with a bar or kettlebell.

    I've been lifting heavy...squats, deadlifts and weighted hip thrusts. I will have to say that all of these things have done wonders for this 40 year old booty.

    I don't anymore. If dudes want to look (and they do and have asked what I'm doing and what it does), I don't care. Of course, most of them are discreetly casting glances lol

    In addition to squats and lunges, I've noticed that my spin classes have begun to "lift" my rear end because of climbing in position 3 that is meant to work the hamstrings and glutes.

    I will look into some spin classes close! Thank you!

    I just have to add that this is so true! I also utilized Bret Contreras' info as well as Amanda Latona (although I was looking primarily to LIFT like crazy, not add size). I have to say that my mission was accomplished. That list includes many that I incorporate and switch around with now that I have what I want in place. Have fun with it!
