    Calorie surplus and heavy squats and deadlifts may help. However, genetics will largely determine where your body likes to gain weight, in the same way it will determine where you lose it. There is no special diet that will spot-gain in the same way there is no special diet to spot-reduce.

    Eating in surplus + a program like Strong Curves can definitely help. Hip thrusts, glute bridges, squats and deadlifts are your best friends.

    Not sure what is so laughable about this. I don't see anything wrong with someone wanting to build bigger glutes. In fact that was my primary objective when I was bulking, and I achieved it with fantastic results. B)

    Excellently put. Absolutely hate when a genuine person looks for advice in this forum and all they get back is hate and abuse.

    Lol at one comment being "all they get back is hate and abuse"

    If you look they got two helpful answers and one idiot - way to exaggerate.

    OP the first two replies nailed it.

    It wasn't hateful or abusive, just surprise. I also find big *kitten* unattractive.

    How do you figure that? Your predicate doesn't relate to the complement.

    I know what you mean. When I lost weight, my previously full booty went flat and deflated. I did(and still do) a lot of lower-body focused work (squats, deadlifts, lunges, good Mornings, glute bridges, donkey kicks, etc) and eat adequate protein and calories. Its looking better:)

    the derp is amazing sometimes….

    you really can't spot increase, just like you can't spot reduce.

    eat more + lift more = gain more …

    so squats, deadlifts, lunges, good mornings. I would like up strong curves by Bret Conterras (sp)

    Sorry for off topic again, but I just want to point out that half the people complaining of abuse are the only ones being abusive.

    You may criticise the statement but not the person, the latter is called abuse.

    IDK OP, your weight ticker tells me that this booty increase you want more likely won't happen with that much weight to lose first.

    Squats are a little overrated for booty gains unless you're going to squat all the way down like hams touching calves, if not, your quads are doing most of the work as the glutes are activated the most beyond parallel - most people don't have the flexibility to safely do this, you can practice without weight to get into a resting squat, but you'll most likely find this very difficult in the beginning. Contrary to popular belief a full, deep squat once you have the hip flexibility is safer on the knees than a parallel or above parallel squat.

    Two exercises that will really build your glutes are barbell hip thrusts (activating more glute muscle fibers than any other exercise) and *Romanian* deadlift focusing more on the hamstrings and glutes than a conventional deadlift. The Romanian deadlift will take some practice but it'll build a beautiful backside. Squats and normal deadlifts will definitely help build a solid lower body, but you may find the hip thrusts and RDL's to build them much better. Also, you have to make sure to eat at a surplus; two words: Peanut Butter.
