I have been working out rather regularly for the past year, lost weight 10-15lbs, and was always pretty fit before that. Made some simple changes to my diet. I lift regularly and attend HIT classes. I increase weight on all squats, lunges, DL, bridges, etc. Slowly add weight so I don't hurt myself. My quads & butt are very muscular. From the side my butt looks wonderful and I have a very nice hourglass/pear figure from the front. BUTT when I took a picture directly from behind I was woefully disappointed as I feel like it looks worse than when I started :( . My butt appears to be rather square and I have these indents on the side of my cheeks. Are there exercises to build this out? Like Glute Medius isolation?
Now I realize I could go on a stricter diet + add more cardio to lose some of the fat in love handle area which would make my waist appear even smaller. Is this the best approach? Plus do glute isolation exercises because my legs are already very large? Picture for reference and also an additional to explain what I mean by butt indents.
Side butt indents - can I get rid of them or make them appear less?
looking for ways to improve the development of backside as stated in the post is more like it. I am open to ideas and suggestions that work for others which is why I posted in the health & fitness section. if I was truly looking for attention I could have just added a much more provocative photo on insta if that was my objective.
In this context I do not feel that way nor should others. It's about muscle development in the glutes. Albeit a portion of my butt/glutes is there. I am not in a lewd or comprising position to purposefully appease others. It's subjective and you of course are entitled to your opinion... my intent is not as you describe.
