Which bootie workout is best?

deadlifts
Stiff legged Deadlifts would be best. Traditional are more for back, not so much legs or butt, although they are engaged.
You asked which is the best. The best is weighted barbell squats and lunges.
What? DL do work lower back and a bit of upper true, but I find it hits the legs and glutes, harder than SL deads do. I find SL deads hit lower back and hamstrings more than traditional deads, but def not glutes, though they do hit them as well.0 -
I started with just my elliptical, did JM 30 Day Shred, moved on to Turbo Jam, graduated to Turbofire (my FAV), and sneak in JM Body Revolution here and there. My arms look great, my legs are pretty good, and I've got good defintion in abs . My biggest trouble area continues to be my bootie. I'm looking into Butt Bible or Brazil Butt Lift. Any opinions out there? I'm leaning towards Brazil Butt Lift - should I go w/ the base kit or bite the bullet and get the deluxe kit? Thanks!
Brazil Butt Lift is amazing. I've personally got great results and so have people in my challenge groups that have done it!0 -

Did you get the base kit or the deluxe?0 -

I'm going by what I've read. I don't actually think Deadlifts hit glutes at all. But, I probably do them wrong. I've read that for some people, they hit more back and less legs, and for others it's more legs less back, just depending on their body style, and lift style. Neither is wrong. I'm definitely more lower back and traps, and I feel it in my hammies too. But, most back for me.
I used to do stiff legged Deadlifts, and those hit the legs hard. But, neither hits the glutes for me.
I would be impossible to perform any kind of Deadlift variation without glute involvement.
They might not get sore, but they are very much involved,0 -

The base kit is $70-ish and the deluxe is $135-ish. I'm going to do some of what everyone above has suggested, but keep this on the back burner for now.
Thanks all of you who gave meaningful advice.0 -

For what this is worth, Butt Bible is entirely on YouTube.0 -
Jillian Michaels's "Killer Buns and Thighs" is great! I really got good results and only started level 3 recently. It's a good cardio and strength workout all in one.0

Agree with Hendrix regarding deadlifts, definite glute involvement. As a matter of fact, the glutes are involved in just about every lower body lift.
As for the best program for booty-ful results. Hands down Strong Curves. It's a great book with great workouts for every level of lifter and I have seen amazing results from it!
Otherwise, if you don't like that idea, lower body weight training, consistency and eating for your goals. Good luck!0 -
If you do proper form *kitten*-back RDLs, then they are a great glute worker.
But really any heavy weighted hip hinge will involve the glutes.0 -

Hip thrusts
Pause deadlifts
Single leg deadlifts
And if you have a chronic knee issue, strengthening your quads will do wonders for it. Try front squats and Bulgarian split squats.
Wait a minute, what is a "pause deadlift"? single leg deadlift?0 -

It's where you pause once after pulling from the ground for a few seconds and again just above the knee, isn't it? Lighter weight to be able to handle the isometric portions.0 -
Do the Original Buns of Steel workout. Yeah, it came out when I was like 3 years old, but if you can get past the annoying instructor (and awesome 80s fashions) it's a really good workout. I also do Cathe Friedrich's Turbo Barre. I tend to stay away from Beachbody because anything that requires you to make payments and pick a "better" package for a higher price seems like a gimmick to me IMO.0

There is no workout that will target fat loss in the booty area, (or any area for that matter).
Unless you are using progressive loading resistance while in a calorie surplus you will not add much(if any) size to the glute muscle.
The hip thrust is one of the best lifts for the glutes. Dead lifts, squats and lunges are great also but most of the resistance is while the muscle is in the stretched position and you start to reduce resistance as the muscle is shortened. The hip thrust/glute bridge maintains or increases resistance as the muscle is contracted.

The hyper extension is another good glute lift. My concern with it is that glute is very powerful muscle and can quickly out lift your lower back muscles.0 -
Brazilian Booty was not my cup of tea. I didn't see much results, possibly because I was already in good shape from Insanity and p90X. It felt like a step back, plus the repetitive nature and annoying talking and music made me dread it daily. Ended up giving it away to a co-worker.
My knee was injured about 10yrs ago and just about everything hurts it. However I started 5x5 SL and holy cow it has made a huge difference in my booty. Bonus my knee doesn't hurt. Nothing, not a twinge, it's the first time since my early 30's that I don't have daily knee pain. Go figure.

My biggest trouble area continues to be my bootie.
Find a steep hill.
Run up, walk down.
Repeat ad nauseum.0 -
Totally .. the Stairmill (Stepmill) machine at the gym. Squats are good too.0
