Squats with weights...shrink your butt or make it bigger?

ojell

I thought weights would make it bigger, but then some are saying it shrinks it...sooooo which is it?

I naturally have a bigger butt...so I'm curious what it would do to mine. LoL

it will get bigger on a bulk. smaller on a cut.

Is it better to bulk first and then cut to burn the fat or cut first and then bulk?

personally i think its better to bulk first and gain some LBM.

But if you cant bare your current bf/body image then cut.

Well, I've already lost nearly 30 lbs. I don't hate it now. I have more fat to lose, but I noticed that when I lost weight, I lost muscle tone. I used to have a nice big hard butt and now it's like it deflated along with my thighs. I hate that. I want to tighten everything up and make it hard and muscular, so I guess that's my answer then, huh? LoL I'm actually already planning on starting a weight lifting regime this wk...sort of starting today...cardio today...weights tomorrow. I'm clueless about how what I should be eating to build muscle though.

A lot of it depends on where you're starting out. The answer isn't the same for everybody.

little tired but this is what i was trying to say...

to gain muscle the most effective way is to bulk.. basically consume more calories then your maintenance. i wouldn't go above 500 tho. high proteins. i personally like to aim for 1-1.5 per lbm or bw. moderate fats. fill with carbs.. now everyone's macros are different just need trail and error for this.

edit .. personally i would head over to bb.com if you plan to bulk. pretty much all the advice you could ever want is over their
