Want to build a booty...

Hey y'all... I'm about to start a 4-week booty workout plan (with fitness blender) and want to make sure I do it properly. I currently do have a butt, but I am looking to really round it out, get a little firmer, and possibly lift it a little.

While I do this, should I be eating at maintenance or at an increase since I'm trying to build my booty up? If I do have to eat at an increase, are there any suggestions on how to do this when you just aren't an extremely hungry person in general? Better things to eat that will add good calories in fewer meals/snacks or something?

To sum up: I want a bigger butt. Do I eat more?

    How is your weight right now? Is your goal to gain, maintain, or lose (overall, not just your butt). Make sure you are gradually adding weight or reps to your exercises to strengthen and build the muscle.

    What are your stats?
    I don't know much about Fitness Blender program but from what I have seen it is more cardio based resistance training. For most optimal results you want to make sure your programming is adequate and progressive over time.

    If you are a good weight for your height you can eat at maintenance and recomp to lose fat and gain muscle over time. If you have weight to lose you can eat in a deficit and preserve muscle, if you are fairly lean and want to put on mass you can eat in a surplus to bulk.

    What you do depends on your stats and goals so more information will be helpful.

    I am 5'6", 150 pounds, don't necessarily need to 'lose' weight but would definitely want to tighten up all around. Fitness Blender has workouts of any and all variation. The program I am doing is more strength based not cardio so supersets and regular sets of a variety of moves. I have 5, 10, and 20 lb weights I use during these workouts depending on the move.

    I would suggest eating a slight deficit with plenty of protein and doing progressive overload training with a focus on the glutes, but don't forget about the rest of your body.

    I agree with this.

    I took a look at the program. If you are a true beginner you can probably see some results from that kind of program. But as you move on and get stronger, you those weights for the lower body will become too easy and you will have to continue to find ways to challenge the muscles which is not always easy without heavier weights. But if you enjoy it, give it a go.
