How to get a really big butt??

I've heard it from countless people before whenever I ask what to do to get a bigger butt. Do Squats. But do squats really work? Would squats not just do more toning and firming that anything? Or possibly risk shrinking it due to fat loss and muscle gain?
I really need some tips from your guys' perspective on what is the best and most effective way to not firm your butt, but to actually build it and make it decently big.

Yes squats really work. You will build muscle in your gluts. Since I started my flat *kitten* is now growing into a booty. My pants stay up!0

1. Have good genetics
2. Improve what you have with complex leg exercises. (Squats, dead lifts, good mornings, donkey kicks)
3. Cheese fries
Mostly 1 but version 2 can make a difference. Your butt is one of the largest muscles in your body. It's a muscle. You can make it bigger. 3 works better than anything but the rest of you won't look so good.0 -

You have to be in a surplus to gain mass0 -

1) Train! I'm very leg dominated, which means squats mostly work my legs... What I found effective is to start my booty workout with isolating exercises and then, right after do heavy squats. My starting exercises are single leg hip thrusts, then glute bridges. They work. If they did work for me, they work for everybody on this planet, trust me
Other great exercises: deadlifts, stiff leg deadlifts, donkey kicks, kneeling squats... They all work
2) Eat! You need a lot of food to grow muscles! Increase your calories, increase your protein intake, don't be scared of fats (especially good fats) and carbs and Tadaaa! Eat complex carbs during the day, and eat simple carbs right after your workout (and protein of course).
I hope it helps

Runtastic Butt Trainer. I have been doing this for some time and though getting a bigger butt is not my intention I have been told recently that I have a Big *kitten*. My intention is to build up the muscle while getting rid of the fat so I am hoping I am at a curve in the road to a firmer butt. This workout works the butt, thighs and abs.0

You need a progressive lifting program to build. Forget body weight and dumbbell squats- It will take way more than that.
Also, "toning" does not exist. You either build muscle, or lose fat.0 -
Squats help, yes... but that's the oversimplified MFP regurgitated version of an answer.
In truth, there are far more effective exercises for your glutes, though squats should probably be part of the routine. Look up Brett Contreras and read a few of his articles/workouts.
Lastly, diet and genetics will play a large role, too... but you seem to be more focused on the workout piece of the equation, so yea... Brett Contreras.0 -

You ain't building no big booty on 1200 calories0 -
Squats (with weight).
Doing 4x8 with weight is going to help your butt a heck of a lot more than 150 squats with no weight.

You can't beat genetics (hehe grins)
You can however shape it nicely with hip thrusts, curtsey lunges, stiff leg deadlift, donkey kicks/kickbacks, Step ups and wide stance squats0 -

Finally.
Squats help but they are primarily a quad exercise

On a 1200 calorie diet, you're NOT going to get a big butt. Sorry, but building muscle REQUIRES a surplus of calories. You can't build tissue without supplying the calories needed to build it. You can squat perfectly, with mounds of resistance, volume train, etc., but again without a surplus, just expect your glutes to get firmer and not bigger.JaydenLindsey420 wrote: »

Anyways, you will somewhat build on a bulking programme, not on a cut. (weight loss)0

Which is a perfectly acceptable scenario in my book.

I naturally have ZERO for buttocks. I tried squats and deadlifts, and got a tiny bit of bun-gains. What seems to be working for me is the following: before squats and deadlifts do glute activation warm ups (look on youtube, there are plenty of examples) to get the mind-muscle connection. Also, I target my glutes after squats and/or deadlifts with Romanian Deadlifts, barbell glute bridges (the best for me), and also hip/lower back extension focusing on glute squeeze and de-emphasizing lower back. Basically, you really have to focus on bun growth for it to happen, assuming that like me you were born bunless.0

Ask 5 experts what muscle is dominate in the squat and you'll get 7 answers.
Glutes and hams get you out of the hole.0 -

So, she's doing 1/2 squats then? They always make my glutes sore.0 -
They also help to keep the "stuff" in till you're ready to get rid of it.
