    Caloric Surplus + hypertrophy reps w progressive overload + patience = butt

    There's no magic to it. Just eat, build, and be consistent and patient. :)

    Wow! Inspiration results! Did you succeed with Strong Curves or what program?
    Thank you! No, I was on my own program, but it's not that different from a program called PHUL. I did an Upper-Lower split and did pretty much all compound lifts with a few accessories. I followed the Upper-Lower template for almost a year, then switched to a powerlifting program called the Texas Method in Oct 2014 because I wanted to focus strictly on strength. :)

    Honestly, any program will work as long as you're doing compound lifts, eating at a decent surplus, and you're patient. 4 months won't give you a 'fitness model'-looking body no matter what the program if you're skinny fat. It's a hard body type to change.

    Lots of women underestimate how much they can really lift. I get this a lot on the leg press. Many put on just 25lbs on each side a call it "heavy". For many, that's MUCH less than half their body weight.
    One of my female clients watched me put 2 45's on each side of the leg press for her and she said I must be smoking crack. I asked if she ever tried that much, and she replied she never even tried 1 45 on each side. So I told her to go ahead and give it a try.
    She's now up to 3 45's on each side doing 5x5 and DOESN'T have "bulky" looking legs.

    How much weight is the leg press before you add additional weight to it?

    I've never used a leg press and wouldn't have the faintest idea of how much weight to put on it. I just started doing leg curls recently and started with 25 and then had to keep adding 5 pounds to figure out what I really needed.
