Squats are only one part of it... You should be doing deadlifts (all 3 types), weighed lunges, Barbell hip thrusts, box jumps, etc etc. It is all covered in the book Strong Curves.0 -
I find squats to be quad dominant. Especially if you do high bar. You can activate the glutes more though by focusing on really squeezing them at the top of the lift. Same for deadlifts. I will say though that hip thrusts are where it's at. I did them while eating at a very small surplus for a couple of months and gained an inch around the booty.

Go deeper. Post parallel. Sumo squats hit the outside of my glutes, while post parallel standard squats hit a wider area, the entire gluteus Maximus. Hip thrusts/bridges are great for hitting the upper glutes/gluteus medius and upper maximus. Wide stance split squats hit a large area too (for me), I can feel it in the Maximus, medius and minimus (depending on stance). Deadlifts hit the hamstrings and lower gluteus maximus mainly (for me).0 -
Another vote for Strong Curves and hipthrusts for delivering a round and firm backside. The hipthrust is quite addictive once you get over the embarrassment factor as you can lift some vwry very heavy weights quite quickly.0

Weighted lunges and Deadlifts....problem will be solved0

It did for me.0 -
I'm not a female but I see the females at the gym with the great butts doing a lot of leg/lower body exercises and a lot of the stair master. Not that I'm looking but they have great butts. Hope this helps and I appreciate all the feedback being given,. We as men do like to look at a nice sculptured butt. #IJS0

The book will give you instructions. Here's what it'll look like:
About the cellulite-- it'll get better with lifting and reduction of body fat. It may not completely go away (mine hasn't) but that's okay too. It's normal to have some and most women do (I've read 90%).0 -
Sumo squats and sumo straight leg deadlifts. Hip thrusts/extensions. That's the money!0

how often o you ladies work your glutes? combine with leg day or give it a day of its own? I usually do a day for shoulders/chest, bicep/tricep, and a whole day dedicated to legs. usually incorporate cardio with it all and sometimes take a "rest" day just for cardio. do you give glutes their own day?0

I do glutes with my legs, twice a week.0 -

Do DEEP SQUATS & lunges. I recommend wear some flat shoes such as Converse All-Stars (My favorite for leg day) because they allow the ankles to more more free than shoes with heels such as running shoes and have a great gripping sole.. You might have to go light to get the feel for it first. You can try bare feet with a bar and move up in weight from there.
Get that round mound and keep it.0 -
Okay - just hit the gym on my lunch break. I did 60 deep squats with a wide stance and 30 lb barbell..almost more like plies? A bunch of lunges with the 30 lbs barbell and for the first time did cable kickbacks.... will try to rest of the suggestions after work!!0
-
Fit barre really helped me. Lots of classes free on youtube or fitness blender if not at your local gym.0
-
its crazy cus its like my *kitten* has become a lot rounder..... just not lifted. ugh0
-
give sumo deadlifts a try, they've worked the *kitten* like no other exercise. Squats and lunges will also help of course.0
-
seems like I feel lunges so much more in just my legs but I will continue to do them!0
-
Squat lower but don't sit on your ankles, or try holding longer at parallel, you can feel it tighten.
I started using squats a month ago and noticed changes already. Seated leg press is good but need some decent weight on it.
Flat shoes is a good bit of advice, you should be pushing off flat not on your toes or you will strain your back if unbalanced.
Get your self playing squash, high calorie burner and if you play hard your legs and backside will be sore the next day!0 -
squats, deadlifts. You should see my *kitten* now.
I don't have to buy my own drinks when I put on a certain pair of jeans0
