    I would say deadlifts would be the best exercise for that area.

    Deadlifts, squats, hamstring curls, hip bridges, lunges, squat press w/ higher placement of feet........... Go to bodybuilding.com and seach the database for hamstring and glute exercises. Tons of photos to show you. :) Squats and deadlifts are the main ones that should always be done though. :) They do amazing things for the backside. :)

    ^ This, with weights. This is by far my favourite area of my body now.

    Thank you so much everyone for your input!!!:) I have been doing lots of squats the last few months of different varieties and it has been improving, just not as much as i would have liked. I will definitely take your advice and add in the lunges and dead lifts. Thanx again:)
