I do squats daily but I really want a good butt workout to help me take it to the next level and build my booty up a little faster. Any advice?

    Jillian Michael workouts do the trick I think.

    Do you feel like you're actually activating the glute muscles? Most people don't naturally do so with all the sitting down we do.

    Lunges,and Bulgarian Split Squats.
    A Bulgarian split squat is just a lunge with your back foot raised.Lunges really let you put the work on your glutes.Also great for quads of course.

    I agree with deadlifts. They will work your hamstrings, which makes the back of your leg flatter and more toned, which makes your butt look curvier, especially from the back.

    I love single leg presses too. I feel it all in my *kitten* the next day, so I know it works the glute muscle. I do a lot of squats and lunges, so I'm not 100% sure that's what is causing the most results...but I know when I add those to the mix my glutes are sore.

    If you have a desk job, get up and walk around regularly. My butt looks flatter and spreads more when I sit all day.

    I don't have the genes for a real bubble butt, but those things are what has helped me a little bit. I'm still working on mine too.

    Want to make sure by "squats" we are talking about squatting under a heavy barbell with correct form. Progressively heavier squats a couple times a week will do you much more good than daily squats under no weights. I also feel the booty burn so bad when I do weighted walking lunges.

    " *kitten* to the grass " barbell squats are best for activating glutes as well as utilising your hamstrings / quads .......gotta go low :)

    Abductions on the machine and from side plank. Also kickbacks and single leg lifts from standard plank

    Long but worth a watch if you're interested in booty gains:

    Booty gains come when the glutes are worked at different planes and hyperextended depending on your hip anatomy. Bret Contre..(whatever his last name is) is the best at booty building!! I use his glute workouts 4-5xs a week (w/bands & weights alternating).

    Something else I've learned for training glutes is that you have to do it a lot, they can take it. 3-5 days back to back then rest 2-3, and back at it. Also, mind to muscle connection is huge here, they need to fire off first before your hamstrings and quads. Close your eyes and squeeze! It's not cute but it works, especially during thrusts, glute bridges and fire hydrants.

    Edit: Also, food! Food is everything for those booty gains. Eat atleast at or above maintenance for muscle gains in general. <3

    Donuts and potato chips and heavy squats

    +5 on the muscle activation talk. On that point, I would also do just plain old squeezing of the glutes just to get your brain used to during those muscles during more complicated movements where you might be compensating by firing other muscles instead, like squats and deadlifts.

    For squats is it best to do a wide stance or shoulder width?

    Shoulder width. There are videos in here, I would highly encourage everyone to watch if they are newer to lifting.

    Strong Curves by Brett Contreras

    StrongCurves is going to be the ideal choice and it's found in this link below. Also, there is a nutrition component that you need to get down as well, and hope that you genetics will allow for it. Additionally, you need adequate rest and recovery. Doing squats each day is not going to be beneficial.

    I would suggest bootiful beginnings if you're just starting. ;)

    It's the bodyweight beginning version of strong curves.
