    As a sufferer of the dread Male Pattern *kitten* Loss (MPAL), I can relate. Walking doesn't help.

    Good form in what ever you do is essential! You can do all the exercises you want but you need to activate the glutes. It is not unheard of to do squats, deadlifts, running, etc without activating your glutes, some people just allow their hamstrings, quads, and back to take over. I am seconding Brett Contrares. I just finished his beginning program a few weeks ago and have seen improvement in my flat butt. Now I am moving on to the advanced program. You can find it in the book "Strong Curves". Brett knows what he is talking about and he is considered the glute guy!

    Why on earth would you want a big *kitten*???

    I dont necessarily want a BIG *kitten*...I want an *kitten* that is not flat and has shadows of my love handles on it.

    lol Yeah...it is hard to explain..but basically my love handles are bigger/stick out more than my *kitten* does. It is not pleasant for anyone.

    I am guessing the love handles just need to go with calorie deficit, thought maybe building my *kitten* muscles up so it is bigger than my love handles might help too.

    I guess, the best case is to continue with a deficit (still about 46 lbs to go) and do squats, legs, etc with weights?

    Yup.

    Squats, Deadlifts, Split Squats.

    Hill sprints help too.

    I did not even think about hill sprints! :D I am finding it difficult to find alternatives to "squats and deadlifts"...for me, they are not the most enjoyable work out, though I imagine it is worth it. I can easily start running hills though, thanks!

    Look up Jennifer Selter. She is famous for her posterior. Although I think the major factor is genetics I'm sure she can guide you in your quest for a nice *kitten*. Please don't forget to post before and after pics. lol

    Hip thrusts and glute bridges...squats and DL...those 4 will build you a butt...

    even bodyweight squats and lighter weight dumbells help out a lot.

    I have a flat butt...and I hate it. Does bulking and working the gluteus muscles build a bigger butt? AND When you bulk...how many calories OVER TDEE does one aim for?


    You don't necessarly need a bulk to achieve a more sculpted behind. Compound exercises like Squats and deadlifts are great. Also, Hip thrusters, glute bridge, walking lunges......

    Weighted squats and lunges have definitely helped me.

    I've always had a small flat *kitten*, but recently it's becoming rounded which I am liking!

    I also do glute bridge and other things mentioned, but mainly squats and lunges. I started with like 4kg free weights, now I do it with 10kg barbells and am gradually increasing the weights.

    :love:

    Squating won't do much. Of course it will help, but doing only one type of move won't make a huge difference, even if you do 1000 reps. You need to work your gluteus maximus, as well as your lower back and hamstrings. There are youtube videos that work all the muscle groups that need to be worked in other to get a nice butt. I really like Blogilates. She has a workout calendar on her website. You can download it if you submit to the newsletter.

    Just started the Gluteal Goddess program of Strong Curves (there are 4 different programs in the book) and have already started seeing improvements in shapeliness. Hip thrusts are king in building the glutes in my opinion. I was doing Strong Lifts 5x5 and then started throwing in hip thrusts and the glutes started shaping up much faster.
