Help - I have a flat bum!!

Options
Okay, I'm sure we all have our problem areas - mine is around my waist. The trouble is, since I've taken up running, my thighs and bum have become smaller (and I had chicken legs to begin with!) - and now my bum is a bit flat and shapeless! As well as running, I do P90X (although I am not consistent with it right now), so I'm doing squats and lunges and other leg and butt work. Can anyone suggest to me the best tried-and-true methods to build some muscle, shape, and lift in my bum before it completely disappears??

Thanks!! :happy:

    Have you heard of Brazil Butt Lift??? It is supposed to do what you want but I have no prior experience to it :wink:

    Carpar1 is right! Go HEAVY with LOW REPS. Nothing over 8 reps and you'll build some nice glutes! Worked like a champ on my wife for sure.

    Yes!! Squats with weights that are heavy for you with LOW reps will definitely work!
