How do I approach this ? Booty gains ??

fitnessdiva_

So I will be at my goal weight soon of 155 at 5”7. I have a curvy body and want to maintain “slim thick” appearance. I’ve been 160 before & looked really skinny, so I don’t want to get any skinnier than my goal weight. So my goal after the weight loss is to gain a lot of muscle in mainly my booty especially & simultaneously keep decreasing my waist size. Should I bulk and then cut & repeat ? Or should I recomp ? Would recomping still give me booty gains ? If so how much should I be eating ? How much cardio should I do ? How much protein ? Help lol

I probably would not bulk at your current stats unless you happen to be very lean with a lot of muscle.

You can recomp, see this link for details

Eat at maintenance, get ~0.8-1g protein per lb bodyweight, and if you do cardio just make sure you keep up with your intake.

You can definitely make progress just make sure you are following proper programming, Strong Curves is a good one.

I'm currently doing strong curves (though more like 2x a week than 3 as I like do to another fitness class at my gym). It seems good for the booty. Echoing recomp suggestions.

I would maintain your calorie intake. Not necessarily bulk, but make sure you’re not losing weight. And yes, I agree that you should make sure you’re getting enough protein. Honestly, squat heavy. Work your hamstrings as well. Training legs and booty 3 days/week worked wonders for me.

I've been recomp for a long time..I think two years.. It works but it's very slow... For booty gains: 3-4x a week hip thrust, squats, deadlifts, etc without over training. I don't do much if any cardio I eat close to sometimes over 3000 Cal a day trying to hit 120-140 grams protein, but I'm very active. I'm similar height as you.
