Are ankle weights worth buying to increase butt size?

[Anonymous]

I have been working on my glutes for around 6 months now and the exercises I have been doing have been working to tone and shape my booty but what I really want is a bigger butt. I have heard that ankle weights can improve butt size can anyone help?

I use ankle weights to increase running speed. There are plenty of workouts you could be doing with them (and without) that will help.

IF your looking to increase size in the glutes, the back-squat would be very effective.

Ankle weights will help but it depends on the exercise your doing.
Running up hill will tone your butt and ankle weights will help but if you want to make it bigger squats are the way but ankle weights won't benfit you when doing squats.

Thanks for MHO ^.^
And I'm sure you have a great butt :)

I don't think it could hurt if you're already working out regularly. It's also important to make sure you have good nutrition and overall fitness and health. And also be aware that some people just aren't born to have a Kim K or J Lo booty.

Ankle weights can actually fuck up your shit. Your body is finely balance and can perform under higher loads (adding weight) but not the sort of repetitive loading during walking or running. You have to make sure exercise is done with perfect form or risk injury; adding weight makes your body exert more effort and when bad form occurs during a movement over and over again you can wind up with tendinitis and all sorts. In other words, I'd stick to squats and shit! lol

The ankle weights I would buy wouldn't be any higher than around 2.5lb each I know not to be stupid and buy too heavy weights and risk injury. Thank you though hahaha.

Hahahaha ankle weights would be good if you wanted more speed, but not for increasing butt size. Squats are your best weight lifting measure for doing that.

Ankle weights are useless. If you really want a bigger butt google 'gluteus to the maximus'

Just keep doing squats, probably gonna mess up your ankles or have huge calf muscles.
