Question for weight lifting ladies

For lean weight lifting ladies:

Is it possible to build up your glutes so that when you sit down on a hard surface, your butt doesn't hurt anymore?

I guess dudes can answer this question too, but never seen that "now that I'm skinny, it hurts to sit on a hard surface" comment except from other women.

My butt was wimpy to start with even when I was obese. After I lost weight, sitting on a hard surface hurt. But after a few months of lifting it doesn't hurt anymore... not sure if I got more muscle mass or just fatter in the bum, haha. I like to think it's the former, but I can't be sure :laugh:

The muscle helps some!!
squats with a kettle bell is a great way to get a nice @ss!

I have a round / big/ high butt from heavy lifting. It still hurts to sit on the floor for long periods on time.

I've lost over 40lbs in the last year. I can definetly feel my pelvis bones when I sit on a hard surface. I'm a man...and yes...it's uncomfortable...I bike ride, and do leg and glute workouts, but It will probably be a very long time before I have any sort of substantial muscle padding.

Hmm... I see. Maybe my butt just got used to the hard life then. :laugh:

Yes... but on the other hand, all the squats and deadlifts will make your butt hurt even when you're standing. :indifferent:

I'm a happy camper when my glutes are sore after lifting. Makes me feel like it's working.

I have always been a "no-fanny annie". Now that I am lifting more, while I am still all gut and no butt, I actually HAVE something that resembles a heinie (I actually looked that up on Websters to make sure I spelled it properly.) I have not noticed a reduction in discomfort , but admittedly, rarely have a need to sit on a hard surface, although I was sitting indian style on a hard cement floor this weekend and didn't notice anything.

I find it helps some. Have my daddy's flat butt still, but building the glutes does help.

helps..but even if you have a big butt still hurts

Haha... make me laugh... because this is SO true... do squats from here to eternity and you won't WANT to sit :noway:

Joke aside... yeah, it helps to build some muscle. But I still think that it hurts if I flex the muscle while sitting so I try to sit still... maybe I'm just not getting used to my new body yet.

Even when I was thin I had a round butt so I have never considered that some people get sore when they sit because they don't have enough padding! One more reason to love my big butt! :glasses:
