This. And Bret Contreras gives great advice on this subject. I've gotten more from him than any other "guru" on the subject.0 -
Different variation squats, deadlift, lunges, bridges, donkey kicks, and leg raises.0

I was gonna say collard greens and corn bread, lol.
But to be honest OP, like other's have said, you need to be eating more than 1200 calories. You can't build substantial muscle eating on a calorie deficit.0 -

Only if you stop playing those workout tapes by Fonda.0 -
I already had a big butt, but after I cut I wanted to build it back up. I gained 3 inches lifting in a surplus. I did squat and deadlifts but they really weren't for my butt as much as hip thrusts, Glute bridges, cable pull throughs, cable kickbacks, good mornings, and lunges were.
But yeah...in a deficit, I could do all those things and it would still just get smaller.0 -

Mostly 1 but version 2 can make a difference. Your butt is one of the largest muscles in your body. It's a muscle. You can make it bigger. 3 works better than anything but the rest of you won't look so good.
Thanks for the reply. I wish i could eat cheese fries but unfortunately, I'm on a 1200 calorie diet
will for sure try the complex leg exercises though
You ain't building no big booty on 1200 calories
THAT's for sure.0 -
They also help to keep the "stuff" in till you're ready to get rid of it.Squats help, yes... but that's the oversimplified MFP regurgitated version of an answer.
In truth, there are far more effective exercises for your glutes, though squats should probably be part of the routine. Look up Brett Contreras and read a few of his articles/workouts.
Lastly, diet and genetics will play a large role, too... but you seem to be more focused on the workout piece of the equation, so yea... Brett Contreras.
Finally.
Squats help but they are primarily a quad exercise
Ask 5 experts what muscle is dominate in the squat and you'll get 7 answers.
Glutes and hams get you out of the hole.

... But exercises help. Barbell squats, deadlifts, fire hydrants, curtsy lunges, weighted lunges, donkey kicks. Don't be afraid to use heavy weights.0

I'm almost scared to do squats. My butt is big enough already... granted right now it's more fat then muscle, but I had a big one even before I gained weight. Once I start squats I'm afraid Ill never fit in a pair of jeans properly again lol.0

If there isn't easy access to a bathroom...................yes.

Nope. If you're in a deficit and losing fat, while squatting, you will only be getting smaller and more compact. Your butt will just look better once you get toward goal because you're working to save muscle.0 -
Neither your butt nor your boobs will get bigger with exercise. They are both primarily composed of fat and how big they are is genetic. Sorry but if they don't run in your family you just can't make em bigger.0

OP- Strong Curves is a lower body centric workout- by the aformentioned Bret Conreras.
Honestly- I find his whole thing a little creepy- like why are you the "the glute guy" it's weird.
Almost fetish like- but he is definitely knowledgeable on the subject.

Yes. I started lifting heavy almost a year ago, but my butt was always huge and fat. It got ever so slightly larger (while I was eating enough calories to put on 10 lbs) but mostly it just lifted and firmed up. Now that I'm calorie restricting, I'm losing fat and the butt looks/feels fabulous. I fit into all my old pants, no problem.
My workout buddy had the flattest butt known to women until she started lifting heavy. Legs day is once a week. We're talking squats, lunges, donkey kicks, and all those other great lower body exercises people have been citing. Now her booty is nice and round as she gained about 8 lbs in all the right places. It absolutely can be done.

1. Have good genetics
2. Improve what you have with complex leg exercises. (Squats, dead lifts, good mornings, donkey kicks)
3. Cheese fries
Mostly 1 but version 2 can make a difference. Your butt is one of the largest muscles in your body. It's a muscle. You can make it bigger. 3 works better than anything but the rest of you won't look so good.
I'll take your cheese fries and raise you Ben & Jerry's.0 -
