Bums! Squats

Try changeling bar position.
High bar engages the quads and glutes.
Low bar engages glutes and hamstrings (posterior chain).
You will need to change form for the different positions.
Else you can work your hamstrings on a machine.
hamstrings connect to your lower butt and that's what you want to exercise...
I wouldn't advise switching around bar positions on the Barbell Squat. Pick either high or low bar (my preference) and stick to it. Low Bar Barbell squats work quads, hams, adductors, glutes if done properly (good form, below parallel)0 -

That's actually a good one if done properly. It has some decent carryover into the deadlift as well.0 -
Good suggestions re lifts. However, to lose the 'jiggle', it is all about losing body fat.0

Careful with these, I learned at one of my trainings that hip thrusts can accentuate the "saddlebag" area0

Saddlebags are fat. I am not sure how hip thrusts would do that. Could you expand?0
