    ok I know what a squat is but what the hell is a dead lift? My butt is still nice and round but once I start losing the fat in my lower body I know it will shrink. so this is a great thread!

    Cause Stephanie posted a bunch of variations but not the basic "conventional" deadlift:

    Am I the only one who actually wants a smaller one? ????
    Haha
    no, you're not. haha.


    like everyone else said, weighed squats and deadlifts are good for building the glutes

    Deadlifts, squats, lunges...with added weight!

    Choose a weight that's challenging, and work towards increasing it over time. Exercises with your own bodyweight (many people just do BW squats for example) will only do so much.

    Squats can keep your butt perky but it will not make it "bigger"

    If you eat to support muscle growth, then yes you can definitely make it bigger. Your glutes (butt) are muscles just like your other muscle groups.

    If you are eating in a deficit, it's doubtful that it will grow, but if you already have a decent sized butt, unless it's mostly fat you can maintain the perkiness/size of it by exercising that area (squats, deadlifts, lunges..etc)

    If your butt is mostly fat and you lose weight WITHOUT lifting weights..... YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BUTT!

    However, if you lift while you lose, you WILL keep, or possibly create a nice round booty that everyone will look at and probably want to touch.

    Just give them a photo

    Squats girl. Squats. I love my butt and was also scared I was going to lose it. But now I have a shapley *kitten*, not a big *kitten*.

    Heavy squats, lunges, deadlifts, barbell hip thrusts, glute bridges, kettlebell swings, etc.

    My "fat" picture from two years ago is on the left. My "fully bulked" picture is on the right. In that 2 years I lost 20lbs (cut)... gained 15lbs (bulked)... lost 12lbs (cut)... and gained 28lbs (bulked... as seen in the picture).

    Fantastic booty you've built. You look great! :flowerforyou:

    If you're genetically predisposed to having a butt, you're going to keep it. Same with curves.

    I am less curvy and have a flatter butt the fatter I am.
