Can I build a booty without weights?

...and like someone said earlier about the gymnasts, they train for hours daily. Hours. Maybe only one hour of actual weight/strength training, but all the the other time in the gym is spent on some sort of training that also adds to their strength, agility, and endurance. Most people don't have multiple hours to spend in the gym daily, and it is not an efficient way to build strength and mass in particular area. The most efficient way to build the booty would be with a progressive weight lifting routine, not that you can't do it another way.

Thank you, psuLemon and DancingMoosie!
That's all I meant.
I never said that it was easy. I'm not even entirely sure it is possible to build much muscle with body weight activities -- soccer, sprinting, speedskating, cycling, gymnastics, rugby, etc. -- if you are not an adolescent or young person with huge hormone levels.
But it clearly can be done. I have seen it. All of us have probably seen it.

Eric Heiden, the Gold Medal speedskater, had 29-inch thighs. He worked very hard to get those. But he did not do it loading lots of plates on to a barbell and adding more every week or month.
Heiden says he did squats. He did lots of squats. But, it was never a central part of his training and he admits he never did heavy squats. He never squatted more than 300 pounds. He focused on repetition, many repetitions.
Cycling was his primary mode of training in the off-season.

One thing should be noted, unless you have the genetics and training of an Olympic athlete, dont think their results are ever translatable to the average person. All of them begin ridiculous amounts of training since they were children, which is during their peaks of growth. And while weight training is only a mere spec of their overall training, it is still a part. Ever professional golfers have evolved with Tiger Woods who did take it to the next levels. The best golfers today have on season and off season routines which often include power lifting or some level of it. And while its only an hour or so of their 8 to 10 hour piece, its one of the most important in terms of muscle growth.

So remember there is always an exception to the rule... And pro athletes are definitely in that category.

It's taken me about eight months of specific progressive weight training to see results, but that's me. If I couldn't go to the gym I would watch and learn as much as possible using gliders/sliders, resistance bands, and invest in a bb if possible, if not a bb, then at least some dumb bells/kettle bells. I don't think it would be impossible but I was "fit" and active B4 weight training and wasn't able to build a booty. But that's me... Good luck

Yes, do three hundred body squats every morning. No breaks until the last rep

Is this a joke

No, you can only tone your booty if you don’t use weights. I’d suggest trying light weight kneeling squats & kettlebell deadlifts if you’re not used to using a lot of weight.

Hey! So currently I don't have access to a gym or weights and I want a big booty! I've been doing booty workouts that supposedly will give me a bigger butt but all it's done is toned it and made it rounder, but not bigger.
My worry is that if I keep doing the same workout my body will get used to it and stop any process all together so I've made a new workout to try out this afternoon - but idk if it will give me the booty I want still or just keep it toned??
Any tips, advice or moves? Help!

Trying to push down a concrete wall or another immovable object over time can lead to muscle growth as the body attempts to improve the force to push the wall down. It takes a few months for results but it is zero cost and immovable objects are everywhere.

It is possible to incorporate progressive overload on body weight exercise.

Try doing a one armed chin up, a one arm push up, a one arm pull up or a one legged squat.

Now try doing 10 one armed pull ups.
