    I just want to add......you REALLY shouldn't intentionally work your butt without your legs. Imbalanced strength training is a recipe for injury.

    So yeah, squats, deadlifts, and lunges.

    ETA....And HOW DID I FORGET MY FAVORITE???

    HILL SPRINTS!

    I would suggest squats.

    And deadlifts.

    And lunges.

    Yes, this. My flat butt is starting to get perky from all the squats and lunges I do. The rumors are true, squats lift your *kitten*!!!

    Make sure you're doing some cardio exercises as well so that any muscle definition will be lean muscle.

    Can you show me an instance of flabby muscle?

    this is true....as opposed to fat muscle.

    i'll send you a pic of my "befores".

    i was quite strong but much "bigger"...since eating less and doing tons of cardio, i have really leaned out all my fat muscle.

    Yes, I was wondering when someone would mention this. Best exercise to focus the bum that I've tried.

    Thanks so much for all the great suggestions. Absolutely love MFP and all the great advice I can get. I should also add that I don't plan to elminate squats because I know they are super effective but the reason I asked the question was because it seemed that I was getting more of a burn in my thighs than in my butt. So I guess the real question I should have asked would have been what exercises can I add to my routine that targets the butt. I didn't want to be doing tons of squats and getting great results in my legs and so-so results for my behind. :tongue: Again thanks for all the suggestions!

    Any train of reasoning based on not wanting to get such and such a body part too muscular is invalid.

    I should have said quads not legs, that's just a mistype, my bad. I mean focusing entirely on your posterior chain.

    So you've reduced your marbling and can no longer be graded as prime?

    Squeeze your *kitten* when coming out of the hole. Tell me that isn't targetting your culo.
