    Please use correct grammar when making a post that is condescending to me. Thank you.

    this is an interesting thread..

    OP wants to eat whatever she wants for month of December and not track/log; then complains about the massive rear that she gained; then says that a after new years wants to get "small again"; but then in same post says "hates logging/weighing' = *mind freaking blown"

    note to self - this is what happens when you go off the rail for a month and then have to spend the next three months getting back on track, only so you can once again go off track ….

    This is such an awesome post :laugh:

    and this is exactly what I would say. Cannot make this any better.

    Someone has probably already asked this, but have you been maintaining, losing, or gaining weight? I find it hard to believe that squatting would ruin anyone's *kitten*. I know mine looks fab, n I've been squatting for a while now. :wink:

    Without pics, it is hard to tell what's going on. But it can be irritating not to have clothes fit the way you want them to fit.

    uhem! ur a guy just wanting to see a pic of a chics *kitten*. Move along please.



    That being said - it sounds like you've probably built up more muscle - glutes - that you'd like... heavy lifting does tend to build muscle, whereas lighter weights but higher reps may build a little muscle but mostly just tone, which is more like what it sounds like you want.

    Good luck reaching your goals :-)

    Erm, how do you 'tone' without building muscle exactly?

    The squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains primarily the muscles of the thighs, hips and buttocks, quads (vastus lateralus medialis and intermedius), hamstrings, as well as strengthening the bones, ligaments and insertion of the tendons throughout the lower body. It does not cause a round butt or a flat butt. Get a grip! Your problem has nothing to do with the squat.

    Yep, even if you were lifting heavy and eating at a surplus, you wouldn't have gained much total muscle mass - maybe 3 lbs. So the rest of the weight you gained was from fat and water. Be happy you gained a bit of lean mass and start eating at a deficit to reduce the fat mass you gained while continuing the same exercise regimen.

    *kitten* out of proportion with boobs. Don't like it. I've changed my profile pic to reflect the goal i have in mind. Thanks.

    Oh my goodness, have you any idea how ridiculous your goal is...you cannot guarantee what size your butt and boobs will be after weight loss and/or body recomposition.

    You cannot have the same body as the girl in the picture because you don't have her body to start with.

    We can't decide how big our butts and boobs will be, if only.

    Do you have a pic from a similar perspective now? Maybe it would help people understand the issue more.

    Oh! That's not a bubble butt at all. It's just not flat. Yeah, no lifting heavy if you are looking to keep that kind of shape. The lift you get from really firm glutes does change that look, imho.

    Actually, I totally get this.

    I trained for a powerlifting competition for one year, and won my weight class last June. In the course of training I put on muscle quickly and easily, even when not eating a huge surplus. My coach said I was a genetic exception, because he was measuring my progress monthly. I am shorter, 5'4", and 112 lbs. I went from rectangle to having hips, a butt, and an actual, discernible waist thanks to a broader back.

    It's all relative. OP says she doesn't like what squats did for her behind, and I know what she means. I did not like feeling and looking "bigger," even though anyone else, coach included, thought it was an improvement from my previously stick-straight figure.

    You have 2 choices:

    1. Stop doing squats or lifting heavy altogether
    2. Shift your mindset about what's attractive

    Personally, I tried to stop lifting. Stopped 2 months. Missed it too much. When I walked back into the gym I realized I was just going to buy new jeans and try to accept my body curvier.

    But - that doesn't mean YOU have to. I would just encourage you to reexamine if a slightly rounder behind is reason enough to reduce or even give up something as healthy and beneficial as strength training.

    That photo does not represent what's considered a bubble butt.
