    How is this thread getting more play than my cal question one? Especially since my butt does decidedly NOT look flat from behind. Doesn't that give me any kind of advantage?

    Are you seriously trying to hijack someone else's thread because you're not getting the attention you want in yours? Just go do a shameless bump. Bad etiquette, man.

    No. Your thread needs to implement more lordotic curves

    Have you read ALL of Bret C's ("The Glute Guy") stuff????!??!

    Weighted Glute Bridges and Weighted Hip Thrusts have CHANGED MY WORLD!

    Squats don't do it for me (because I'm just too quad-dominant and my lazy glutes won't fire!), but this stuff DOES:

    Skaters (both speed skaters and figure skaters) have big glutes. I'd suggest doing some cardio in the form of skating or roller blading.

    If you're going down in weight, you are not going to really see results in the ''growing your *kitten*'' dept. You can, however, lift and shape it. I basically have a whole day at the gym I dedicate to working my glutes. If you have access to the gym, try using the leg press, but hit it single legged; that made a huge difference for me in the muscles targeted switching from dual feet to single legged. Make sure you're also incorporating some dead lifts and squatting as deep as you can go without butt tucking. A few other good ones are cable kickbacks using the dual cable pulley machine, hip thrusts/glute bridges and lunges. Personally, I see the most benefit from single legged leg press, cable kick backs and heavy deadlifting.

    Mine looks rounder from the back than it does from the side, darnit. It's the opposite problem, but I feel your pain ;) My glutes are kind of shorter than I'd like, lol. I think I have that perky teardrop thing going on instead of being able to get the roundness on top (from the side view, particularly).

    Mine looks round from the back because of the gluteus medius, probably, if that helps you any. It's kind of the ballet dancer muscle, so check out their rears to see what I mean. There are ways to hit that harder if you'd like. Clamshells are #1 for activation I read, and ballet is clearly great at it, too.

    If anyone knows how to get a taller butt from the side, let me know, lol. I've got good projection and perkiness, but it's not the same on top of the badonk in that view :D

    You can make it rounder but its probably not going to get huge. A lot of it is genetics. I have had to except I will never get a sexy Hispanic butt.
