Keeping weight off one area, while gaining in another?

Analsphincter

Is it possible to keep off weight in say, the stomach; while gaining weight in perhaps, the thighs/gluteus Maximus?

Instead of eating food to gain the weight there, then toning; should I just gain all muscle? Would that look muscular tho (too masculine)?

Nope!

No. You can't pick. But you can work heavier in certain areas more than others.

I'm not sure you understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to gain muscle? If so you need to consume more calories while weight training - not one before the other. It's known as a bulk. Once you build the muscle you desire over a good period of time (most bulks are in the range of 4-6 months) you cut to reduce the weight (bloat) and keep your muscle. By losing some of the weight you've gained you will be able to see your muscle growth. That's in layman terms.

It takes a minimum of 4-8 weeks for any muscle growth (hypertrophy) so you have to make a commitment.

nope, not going to happen.

You have three options..

1. continue cutting until you get your body fat to where you want it.
2. run a few bulk/cut cycles
3. do a recomp

Ah, the typical "I wanna big booty" thread - should've known.

Some of that is simply genetics! But you can attempt to get a better booty by lifting heavy - squats squats squats!

well, actually it is "I want to lose stomach fat and gain a booty at the same time" thread..

I guess OP could do a reverse liposuction ..suck it out the gut and implant it into the booty????

and I agree on squats

As a wide hipped, but flat-booty'ed girl, I've always dreamt of the bolded idea. But alas, 'tis only a dream.

"I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung"
