What everyone else has said. Work dat *kitten*. Basically its impossible to control where your body loses fat. There is no such thing as spot reduction or gain. HOWEVER fat will seem to leave some area more as weight loss progresses. For example the last thing to go on the average male is the belly and with women its thighs/hips/*kitten*. Of course there are exceptions but its a general rule. It how you can see some girls with abs and still have junk in the trunk or a dude with nice arms chest and back but still have a belly.0

squats will definitely make your butt bigger. I used to not have one at all, and now it's a pretty decent one.0

Haha probably... ????
I talked with my personal trainer and he told me that if I wanted to lose it I should do squats...
I feel like he wants me to keep it, according to you.. Haha

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).
^^food + squats and deadlifts.
Here is a more recent shot...
.... I started cutting 5 weeks ago and am already down 10lbs. 10-12 more to go...0 -
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.0 -

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!0

Am I the only one who actually wants a smaller one? ????
Haha
like everyone else said, weighed squats and deadlifts are good for building the glutes0 -
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.0 -
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)0 -
