Small Butt vs. Muscular Butt is one way more attractive than the other?

[Anonymous]

So I feel like these days girls who really work their butt and therefore have big bums are in style. Yet if you look at models, most of them are just thin with normal butt and boobs. I mean proportionally to their bodies. So are both attractive?

I'm asking because I'm more the model type, I have the same measurements as Adriana Lima, just significantly shorter and my butt as always been my trouble area, I wish it was just bigger. But I've had surgery on my knees so I can't really squat or lunge, especially not with heavy weight and well I'm not the person to naturally have fat there so I feel I just need to give up on that.
So what I'm asking do you think those girls

As attractive as girls who work their butt with heavy weights? Considering body only. And if you have a clear preference, as in you find one significantly more attractive than the other, would still find both date-able?

It's not about size for me, but shape and being proportional. There's nothing unattractive about having a butt so well toned you could crack walnuts with it, but it's not a turn-on, either. Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are pretty well-known for having ample backsides, but for me they're no more attractive in that respect than somebody like Nicole Kidman or Lucy Liu.

You'll never get everyone to agree with either opinion.

all are totally fine but you can't go wrong with the toned butt. I myself work on my butt too, squats are where its at. toned anything is always nice but average is perfectly nice too:) and some girls do heavy weights, not like super heavy like guys but for their own body size they go heavy and the other girls that tone out do high repetition and high intensity.

[Asker]

Well I mean it's fair to assume that all those models have toned butts too, just not a lot of muscle size, which is what I was talking about

[BertMacklinFBI]

oh yeah well they definitely built muscle on their butt during the toning. the muscle contracts the butt area and gives it that nice tone shape.

Of course a big, round butt is sexier. I also have a small butt, and it's not very shapely either. But I don't really care, I wish it was awesome, and show-off-able, but it just isn't. So yea, Im just happy clothes can hide it^^

[anonymousxyz]

I find the girls with bigger and muscular ass girls more attractive. A lot of women say that being skinny and having a big butt are impossible, but gaining muscle there is the way to do it.

[Asker]

well it's not normal for sure. I feel a lot of guys want something that feels and looks like fat there, but most can only really get it by building muscle there and well women don't big muscle easily. It means you'd probably be muscular everywhere. Is that fine for you too?

[anonymousxyz]

Unless you're at a ridiculously low level of body fat like <6% and you're at like 10-15% there is going to be some fat down there to play with ;). Women are also naturally inclined to store fat there. I think the women in the pics have really sexy asses even though they're partially muscular, it's fine with me. I think girls with some muscular definition are hot just not too much.

[anonymousxyz]

You can't squat, that too bad but try deadlifting, especially dumbell deadlifts. They're designed to really work your glutes.

[Asker]

I think you're thinking of men. 6% for a woman is impossible. 20% is the lower end of healthy. I would think the girl in the third picture is under 20% but really even 17 or 18 is going to be rock hard on women www.allouthealth.com/.../...ody-fat-percentage.jpg

[Asker]

unless you mean straight leg deadlifts, they do kinda include the same motion with your knees as squats

[anonymousxyz]

I mean it would be <4% would be a critical body fat percentage for a man but yeah I was sort of estimating for a woman. 14% is the limit for women, so anything between that and 25% and ya should be good

[anonymousxyz]

Yeah straight leg deadlift, they're even more effective for your purpose because they require intense gluten involvement for stabilization

[Asker]

really? like this naturalfitmom.com/.../Straight-Leg-Deadlift.jpg
because I've been doing those for a while and nothing is getting bigger there

[anonymousxyz]

How much weight do you use?

[Ghosty]

Couldn't overlook the Asker saying "lot of guys want something that feels and looks like fat there"...
.. Then those guys never felt the ASS of a fitness girl before. Rawr.

[Asker]

110 lbs weights and whatever the bar itself weighs

[Ghosty]

You need to get the right hips movement in order to get your butt doing enough work to get challenged by deadlifts. Ask an instructor if you're in a fitness centre, or try YouTube it. It's difficult to explain with words.

[anonymousxyz]

45 lbs for the bar, 155 lbs. Quite impressive but I would keep increasing that. How many reps do you do?

[Asker]

Oh I'm doing it right, used to do competitive sport for a long time, we always did it there. And I'm in med school at the moment, while we don't learn about fitness itself I'm sure I'm doing the most effective way at the lowest risk of injury

[Ghosty]

Well then you belong to the minority. Glad to hear.
Try hip raises, one leg hip raises, and I forgot the name but you basically go into "doggie position" and push one leg up, trying to reach the ceiling with your toes.. You can buy/get ankle weights. They are pretty effective. (can be used for lower abs etc. as well.)

[anonymousxyz]

Since you're in med school you've heard about hypertrophy. The best way to achieve this is 6-12 reps for 3-5 sets. Anything below is mainly for strength and anything above is for muscular endurance

[Asker]

I mean I do those too obviously. I do a lot of those Pilates moves and I used ankle weights too. Unfortunately the heaviest you can buy usually is 8 lbs so even if I put them both on one leg I have to do like 60 reps to feel it burn and well obviously it's not doing anything for size either

[anonymousxyz]

Feeling the burn should not be your goal, instead muscular failure at a 6-12 rep range

[Asker]

yes, although not in the context of building muscle. But I usually aim for 8 reps and 3 - 4 sets depending on how much time I have

[Ghosty]

Then be patient. Your butt will grow. I barely can imagine you having a flat ass with 16lbs and 60 reps on one leg.. :) Respect, sporty girls are hot.

[Asker]

well trying doing doing that with hip raise or leg raises, not possible

[anonymousxyz]

A second area of consideration is diet. How much protein are you getting each day?

[Asker]

I've been doing this for years too, it's gonna happen for me. It's flat, I didn't say that, it's firm and round but small

[Asker]

well I don't actually count but I'm pretty sure I get enough. I don't eat meat but I usually have milk and seeds in my oatmeal, yoghurt with fruit after lunch and often legumes for dinner and usually one protein shake a day. And well all the protein in plants too

[anonymousxyz]

I would count for one day and try to get your body weight number in grams of protein. I personally drink a half gallon or more of milk a day in addition to ric, chicken, shrimp and legumes but I'm trying for whole body gains. I usually round out at 150g or 160g

[Red_Dragon]

I like them all. The problem with muscular asses is that some of them are stiff. I don't like that as much, but I guess it's case by case.

[Red_Dragon]

As far as proportion I say muscular.

[Asker]

well ya, you can't expect to have muscles that big and still be all soft and fluffy, women don't grow muscles easily.
Proportion isn't so much the issue

[Red_Dragon]

Yeah I'd rather have soft and fluffy, however usually girls with muscular butts have toned legs too. Toned legs are nice.

[soe11]

I personally like rounded and attractive shape are important, when she Booty micro shorts, Yoga short, , micro bikini must be firmness and soft smooth.

My girlfriend regularly maintain her body and Butt.

[Anonymous]

Muscular is more attractive, because it looks rounder. And I think it's better than a big butt because muscle at least keeps its definition more or less constant, whereas big butts deform. (like sag, make folds haha)

[Ihav2fart]

a shaped butt is honestly more sexy. I don't mind a cute smaller butt either but if it is only small and bones that is not attractive at all. Also, if the butt is too big I find it a turn off.

[sovetskii13]

Oh baby. I say that a muscular, toned butt is much much sexier. It really has a great shape.

[Ghosty]

Fitness girls all the way. Daymn.
The model stuff is useless piece of bones and hunger. *throws burgers*

[Momento]

bigger, worked out is 10/10

[Asker]

and the other questions, I asked?

[Momento]

definitely both datable - its not a deal breaker. BUT i gotta say i'm biased because I'm a fitness guy, and I love fitness girls. Who do squats, of course.

[Anonymous]

muscular ass is more attractive
