    yep, squats and lunges with correct form are the best way to grow the gluts. Takes about 4 to 6 weeks to start seeing real results. Be aware though, your bum will hurt for a bit when you first start.

    I do quite a bit of squats and lunges too, probably a few hundred of each a week and nothing. I do deadlifts as well.

    I can tell you one thing, running DOES NOT help you with the butt issue. But I wish it did, I'd have an amazing butt right now if that was the case!

    A few hundred a week is not good for adding size. To add size you need to use a heavy enough weight that you can only do 8 or so before you physically can not straighten under the load any more, ideally stop on the rep before you can't straighten. Then lather, rinse, and repeat 3 times with a small break in between sets. Do your normal exercises with a lot more weight and you should see growth. This may mean you drop to only 30 or so a week, but I guarantee you'll feel it much more than usual.

    agreed, high volume, low (or even moderate) weight doesn't increase volume for muscles. you need high weight to failure and low volume for increased size. You should be trying to find your 1 Repetition Maximum and then use 80 to 85% of that for your repetition weight

    I only do about 10 reps at a time, but do quite a few circuits on the days I do them. Valid point on the weights though, I can tell mine are too low and have been trying to figure out the best way as I'm constantly replacing them (or so it feels like). Unfortunately I only work out at home so it's harder to play around and figure out what my 1 repetition maximum would be. Thanks for the input/advice!
