    I heard you get a bigger butt by squatting in the smith machine.

    Squats + a caloric surplus = bigger butt
    Muscles don't grow unless you're feeding them properly.

    Squats + caloric surplus + patience + consistency + optional glute isolation exercises = bigger glutes

    Read up in stiff leg deadlifts and kettle bell swings

    Those two exercises put the round in the mound!

    I heard that Brazilian women eat a lot of rice and beans because they believe it will help them grow an *kitten*.

    But all joking aside, most people (including me) tend to use their quads more than their glutes when equating. Instead, try the deadlift (particularly the Romanian deadlift).

    Not sure if serious or if trolling...

    Smith machine is a quad blaster and brings out definition in the top of your legs down near your knees.

    The little triangle area that appears as you work legs and drop body fat.

    But a great leg machine to definitely use!

    Seriously....

    Google kettle bell swings and be prepared to be sore

    For days...

    DAYUM!!!! Who dat?

    For the record, that looks like the result of years of hard work and dedication. Way too many people think that since they have been doing body weight squats for 6 weeks that they should have a badonkadonk already. That's just not how it works

    That would be me! Haha :) About a year and half apart.

    I honestly didn't have much of a butt in the first place, so anything beyond was improvement. Lol.

    I was thinking the same thing...nice.

    To the OP keep in mind you won't do this over night and while building glutes you will be building other muscles as well...

    Note the pic....and her quads...

    it is doable...to a point genetics will play a part.

    I've been following a powerlifting program since Oct (Texas Method). Before that, I used an Upper-Lower split. My lower body days when I used that split included Squats, DLs, leg extension, leg curl, Bulgarian Split squats, and single leg deadlifts.

    A big part of the reason my butt looks nice there is because I learned how to flex it lol

    I'll have to tell two of my granddaughters about this. One is short with a booty butt; and she works out doing squats - but she also has large thighs. . . . and gained that "Freshman 15+" her first year in college; but she is an Honor student has made Dean's List all year; studying long hours and eating on the fly. We've very gently tried to tell her that it will only get harder to lose extra weight the older she gets. Says that she can't afford to eat healthy. She uses MFP to keep up with eating by micro-something-or-the-other. Sounds too complicated for me; easier for me to keep up with calories and how I eat them during the day and posting them in my food diary. My middle one has no @$$ at all and she is very self-conscious about it; but, too lazy to do any exercising. Tell her to hold her shoulder up right and push her butt out; that's when I get the eye rolls and 'I've got no @$$ at all' comments. "Acetone". I'd like to tone my ACE up, too; at 64 not sure that is possible. HA! Had a nice butt like this in HS - many, many, many years ago. LOL! Maybe I should try learning how to flex my butt, too. It's still back there somewhere - I just only see it in the rearview mirror.

    WHOS THREAD IS THIS?!? And you guys don't get it. I will never have a fat butt. I have a big stomach and stupid 36ddd boobs. I don't want a tone perky butt, I want a fat one :-( now I just have tone perfect legs and a fat stomach and stupidly big boobs.

    Ummmm...you keep saying a fat butt. Are you talking a kardashian type butt? Minaj type butt? Those aren't natural. They don't happen without injections or surgery.

    What the fabulous-body poster who shared her transformation pics showed is what happens with time and dedication to building a booty. Unless you have very specific genes, most people don't just have a ton of fat on their butt without being larger in other areas (stomach included). Even those with natural tendency to have fat sit in the butt still have to improve their muscle size as well.

    Sounds like you want to lose weight (deficit) and then work on building up a booty (surplus).

    Her quad development was the result of conscious effort to build up her quads, not the byproduct of glute training gone rogue.

    Well then just give up? No matter who "owns" this thread, I ain't got no time nor inclination to try to help someone with a thoroughly negative attitude. Perhaps come back when you're ready to improve instead of whine.

    Until then,
