How do I get a butt?

I have a tiny butt and would really like to have a nice, big round butt. What kind of workouts should I do?

    I don't really get the fascination with big butts. A butt is a butt, IMO. I'm not even sure you can make a flat butt a round one.

    But, tiny butt girl, squats and lunges work those muscles.

    Good luck with your *kitten*, lol.

    LOL.

    You can. A great example would be ILiftHeavyAcrylics or Yoovie.

    It's called body recomposition (which is done through strength training) but it requires a long term commitment and takes a lot of hard work and probably bulk and cut cycles.

    Either maintain your weight or bulk and do weighted squats and deadlifts along with a weightlifting routine like all pro, strong lifts, new rules of lifting for women.

    Get a good amount of protein typically 1g per pound of lean body mass.

    I had massive booty gains from my first bulk and I've only gained 4 lbs in 7 months (it's my fault, got content with maintenance). But ya.

    Takes patience and time to build a booty but you can do eeeet

  • Why are people sarcastic and hateful on these posts? The girl just asked a damn question!

    Look on amazon for dancing dvd's or do lots of walking and squats. I have a huge *kitten* and I'm trying to LOSE it. Wish I could surgically remove it and give it to you! lol
  • Leg press at the gym! Also biking helps too

    I just started Strong Curves. You may want to check it out.

    It hasn't been long enough for me to say one way or another.

    But yeah - squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts.

    my favorite exercises were always weighted squats and lunges, though to be completely honest, my favorite gym day was legs day. elliptical, if you have proper form, also works out the quads, bum, and the biceps femoris(back of the legs, which is nice with a nice booty :))

    Get started with a progressive loading strength training program that focuses on glutes. These are my results from a year of recomp (eating at maintenance and lifting) and one month of dedicated bulking with plenty of glute bridges, squats, deadlifts, lunges, and single leg squats.

    I love this! Makes me wonder though...If I already have a big butt with lots of fat, it's not going to get bigger right? Just...better? Higher? I mean from heavy lifting, which is what I've been doing.

    If you're eating at a deficit you'll keep the muscle while losing the fat and your butt will be amazing. I wish I had started lifting sooner so I could have done that. Sadly I bought into the whole "get to goal weight and then strength train" mentality.

    Your butt looks great! If I have never lifted any weights, what is a good size weight to start with?

    You want to start with a program. If you want to focus on your butt Strong Curves is supposed to be good. The program you choose will tell you how much weight to use. Most will start with the bar, which is 45 lbs.

    Okay. That's what I thought I was doing. But every time I think I get things right I read something that makes me think...wait, am I right?

    There are three different level programs in the book. I am doing the beginner program right now and it is bodyweight at this point, but I am only on the second week.

    Ah my bad. Well anyway-- start with a program and follow the recommendations. I started with Stronglifts and it uses the bar.

    No you're right. Mine grew because I ate enough for it to grow. It grew very slowly during recomp-- I think I gained an inch in the first year. Then when I bulked I gained a full inch the first month. Without the food consumption you're not going to put on huge amounts of muscle.

    I wasn't correcting, just throwing out where I was and that there were a few levels of this program. The beginner program is very beginner. Most plans would start with the bar.

    The Strong Curves book includes detailed instructions on how to choose your starting weights for the beginner program. You can use weights for most of the exercises from the very beginning if the body weight ones are not challenging enough, although learning correct form before loading the exercises with weights is strongly recommended. This is an excellent program for beginners!

    Squats and deadlifts with heavy weight*.

    *Heavy weight = the weight where you can do about 3 sets of 5-6 reps with proper form during each rep while being challenging enough where the last rep is difficult (but still with good form!).

    Yes. The program as written starts out with bodyweight squats and glute bridges. I know you can add weight. It is actually perfect for me as is right now because I am recovering.
