How do I stop growing my legs, but keep growing my butt when I work out?

[Anonymous]

I have some pretty muscular legs. I like them now, I don't want them to get any bigger. I want to keep growing my butt though, because it's just still too small for my legs. How do I do this without working my legs? All the glute exercises involve legs. Like squats and deadlifts. How can I deadlift and squat more weight withougt growing my legs?

Everything will help grow you legs to an extent and the best exercises for firming and shaping the butt will grow you legs as well. Like squats for instance will shape the butt, but their primary purpose is to grow the quadriceps which is the teardrop shaped muscle on the front of your legs for those that didn't know.

But if I'm being honest to only work towards the butt is rather silly, you should opt for a balanced, strong, symmetrical and healthy body, the peak of human perfection and health.

Well if you keep deadlifting and squatting your legs will keep growing with your butt
you will have to try glute isolation exercises
Barbell hip thrusts, glute ham raises those should work

but to be honest you shouldn't be training for a bigger butt, but for a healthy body

I am. I love training, and I love lifting. I want to be stronger, but my boyfriend pointed out last night that my legs were getting too big, my butt is getting smaller and I lost my curves so, you can see why I want to fix it.

that seems to happen when your physique reaches another level
I wish i had a girl who trained dieted so hard that she had "that problem"
I don't know maybe you should stop squatting and deadlifting in my experiences squats and deadlifts get my legs huge

instead train differently, try going to dance classes or something

[PiuBelloAmante]

also maybe your boyfriend is not used to your new physique does he train

[Asker]

It would be nice if he thought like that because he doesn't like it and I'm a bit depressed haha Maybe I'll just do cardio to shed the muscle a bit, deal with a pancake but for a while, and then start again. He doesn't train, he says it turns him off when I bench press :/

[PiuBelloAmante]

it sounds like he is a bit insecure about your new strong body (which is awesome by the way... he doesn't know what he has) thats why he is trying to put down your gains

yeah try running, i find hill sprints get my glutes sore the next morning

Ask for a specific program in your gym. And don't forget your upper body. A skinny body on muscular legs is also out of proportions. Keep it all in balance

You can't make your butt bigger with something else getting bigger too. There isn't one exercise that is targeted for only one key part

[WesTheGuru]

There isn't really a way to exercise your butt without exercising your legs. You just have to make sure your exercises are focused more on your butt than your legs so that your butt gains outweih your legs gains.

Then after that do cardio of some kind, preferably cardio that isn't too strenuous on your legs specifically.

Isolation exercises like Glute Kickbacks can help. Some gyms have a weighted machine version of this.

[Nylesnylesnyles]

There are more workouts that do only involve the butt only, the only one I can recall at the time is the carving curl though.

A a woman your muscles don't show as much as a guys so even if you over do your legs no one will ever notice. Don't worry about it.

[Asker]

My boyfriend noticed. He said I don't have curves anymore and liked me better before I worked out.

[Opinion Owner]

ouch well don't stop working out

Just keep doing what you're doing, your butt will catch up.

Proportion is the key. Bigger butt = bigger thighs

[Not_Helping]

You don't spot whatever train etc.
