What is your favourite butt excersise?
Or, what excersise has worked the best on your butt?
I am so considering having one workout day dedicated just for butt lol (and legs also but mainly butt!)
My butt looks pretty round if you look at it from the side, but I have a square bum if looked at from behind!
I want to work on the side of my butt more and build more muscle there, so it will look wider (and rounder)
So please tell me what's your fav and/or what has worked the best?
Thanks

No it should feel very comfortable and natural. Maybe the bench you are using is too high? If you don't have a lower one I would opt for American hip thrusts which are higher up on the bench
Here are videos by Bret Contreras demonstrating:

ETA: You can also try glute bridges which are on the floor not the bench. I find the thrusts more glute activating though.0 -

This. Above squats or anything else someone will tell you. I started incorporating hip thrusts in to my workouts about a year and a half ago and saw a drastic recomposition in my glutes like I'd never seen with the year and a half of squatting and other glute killers before that time.0 -
Hip thrusts. If you are having pain, watch a couple videos on form (I checked bb.com). I had to play around with how to position myself against the bench to pivot up correctly. It took several tries before I figured it out.0

Another one for weighted hip thrusts. They are my favorite second only to deadlifts.0

Wow thanks to everyone!
So I googled some video on how to and I tried it at the gym today. It was not hard!
So glad I asked, thank you again.0 -
Did the workout today
Deadlifts
Then stiff leg deadlifts
Kettle bell swings
Limp away and curse any steps I need to go down the next few days0
