Is that normal? Ive been lifting heavy weights since the first of the year. My pants all have extra room in the waist now and tight as hell in the butt... Humm... tiny bit peeved....

    OH how I feel the same frustration. Don't know if it's from lifting or if I'm actually just gaining my weight back in just that area.
    May the battle continue! :ohwell:

    What are your old & new measurements? Could there be a silver lining if your new proportions make your waist look even SMALLER than it has already become? I'd be OK with that.

    Totally normal. Glutes / hamstrings are getting strong. Wait until your shirts don't fit because of broad shoulders. :laugh:

    Another reason I really need to start lifting heavy.

    That, I don't need. I'm already built broad across the shoulders.

    makes sense. your butt is probably being reshaped higher and tighter.

    are you doing squats and deadlifts? ive been doing those as well and my normally low pancake booty is turning into a high wanna be badakadonk :laugh:

    i wouldnt worry about it. in the end (no pun intended) it'll en up making your body look more balanced if you keep up the upper body work and start developing a shapely back and shoulders

    Your butt is full of muscle. Guessing as you're doing heavy weights, that muscle is swollen and re-shaping gradually to adapt to your exercise.

    And since when was a bigger butt a bad thing?!

    As a white girl with a pancake butt, I don't see a problem with this. I have the opposite problem.

    I have always had a bigger butt. I have began toning it up and its not getting bigger... but with my waist trimming down it looks bigger.

    And I ♥ my booty :)
