in Fitness and Exercise
So I have been doing Ripped in 30 and also jogging/speed walking and alternating The Butt Bible in 2-3 times a week. I enjoy a nice round booty on myself but cant seem to achieve what I would like. I have been doing squats(all variations) and deadlifts and still cant get the damn thing to lift lol what kind of exercises are you doing or do you recommend to get that lovely round booty?

    How heavy are you going on the squats? How deep?

    Well I don't own any heavy weights I do most of my workouts at home. I have my sad little 5 lb weights lol I know not heavy enough. But each squat I do its *kitten* to the grass. I really concentrate on my form as well.

    I had the typical white guy rear end. After I started getting over 150lbs on the barbell squat, I started to get some badonk-a-donk. Now I'm at 250, and, well. No more bony rear.

    Maybe you just need more resistance.

    At home - Pistol squats. Glute ham raises.

    Awesome I appreciate the feedback! Beginning of next year I am going to join a gym since I will finally have child care. Looking forward to getting in some heavy lifting! :smile:

    Hip thrusts with one or two 25 lb plates on my hips has worked well for me. I also do these with kinetic bands around my thighs [http://myosource.com/kineticbands/] and my butt and thighs have really changed as a result. I love the progress I have had with these and I never do squats due to a back problem. You can vary them with shoulders on the ground, shoulders on a bench, and shoulders on a swiss ball.

    Check out craigslist, thrift stores, and used sporting goods stores for cheap weights. If you really can't afford anything look around your house or work for heavy things to lift. A gallon milk jug of water is 8.4 lbs. That's more than your 5lb ones.

    I have always had a big polynesian booty...but I do know that doing Tahitian dancing with a rice belt will help with that :) Not only will it firm and plump up your booty, but will trim your waist!

    Find a bench or platform higher than 12 inches, at a height so your leg has greater than a 90 degree bend when you step up on it with weight on your shoulders. Check out the Classic Firms which are now on DVD at Collage video. From #3 classic one on, they feature this exercise. If you're reallly tall use a 17 inch step at least. Stepping up and down with one foot while the other stays planted really targets the butt and lifts it.
    I forget the technical term for this move, maybe someone can join in.
    If you use a lower step, like what 's used for regular step aerobics, that's too short and works the quads instead. Try it and see.

    I have the Brazilian Buttlift workout video, and I absolutely love it! Not only does it work your butt, but it works other muscle areas as well. I'd recommend it for sure :)
