Are squats the only thing to make peoples buts bigger?

[Anonymous]

Normally all other muscles seem to have more than workout but glutes seem to only have one, or is there other ones 💀

I spelled butts wrong 💀

[Hardon-Collider]

Out of the non-gay exercise gym movements? Yes. You can also step up on stairs. I would avoid routinely "isolating" the glutes because it risks "deactivating" the hamstrings which can leave you unstable when you use your body for work.

But who cares. Women care about your ass as much as you care about distinguishing b cup and c cup tit size. ㅤ

[MrChinaski]

Oh... your comments reminded me... box jumps are awesome too.

[MrChinaski]

Deadlifts are better if you want to isolate the glutes as the quads are less active than in squats. But squats give you a better work out overall through the whole power train in a way that I find is more relevant for real world tasks, better triggers growth response throughout the body, and are easier to mix volume and intensity to needs (dls are generally at the 80-90% 1rm range, whereas squats may be more often in the 70-85% 1rm range) and transfer better to olympic lifting should you desire.

Chris are you trying to get a bigger butt or something 😆

[Asker]

Nope, I'm just wondering about butts 😂

[Vevv123]

There’s no way to make it bigger unless you eat more. 😌 Also, muscle is supposed to tone, the only way it makes a massive difference is if you go to the extremes which more than likely means other areas will get bigger especially when someone takes supplements. Other than surgery, we can’t change our body shape/anatomy.

[MrChinaski]

@vevv123 Errrrr... an untrained man taking up squatting 5 sets of 5 reps, 3 times a day, adding 5lbs to the load when they can successfully complete the workout... like an average guy on the street, average body weight, etc... after 6 months might expect to gain 5-6 pounds of lean muscle mass across mainly glutes, quads, triceps, secondary gains in abs, lower back, triceps, smaller amounts in supporter muscles. Body fat may or may not change depending upon your starting point. By that time they might roughly bench their bodyweight and squat more than 1.25 times their bodyweight. This is not an extreme program. And those are conservative gains for that program... some achieve 8-10lb of muscle mass gain, though they are usually bigger guys, pushing themselves hard to complete workouts, which requires a safe gym setup.

So, yes, they make your butt bigger not merely toned without extremities.

*3 times a week

Squats are very helpful. Glute exercises too

[Asker]

Glute exercise like what, aren't squats the only glute exercise? 😂

[queenofcardio]

No lol. You can do glute bridges, kick backs with the cable machine

[Massageman]

Kickbacks work well. Machines that isolate glutes with various isometric and/or isotonic exercises.

Here it is... Find out what your current maintenance calories are. Eat in a surplus of 250-350 calories, anything over that you will gain mostly fluff. Try to get at least 1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight with a decent amount of carbs to fuel your muscles. The best macro setup: 1g protein per pound of body weight, 25%-30% carbs, the rest fats.

Train lower body twice per week with squats, Bulgarian split squats, RDL's, and barbell hip thrusts. Hit 10-16ish sets per week with each set being high intensity and the last rep of each set close to or to absolute failure (so 5-10 sets per lower-body day twice per week). Those 10-16 sets per week should be a combination of the exercises I mentioned. Progressive overload: make sure you're lifts are consistently increasing week by week.

Train anywhere from 3-12 reps per set. Best attack:

Squats: 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps.

RDL: 2-3 sets 5-10 reps

Bulgarians: 2-3 sets 8-12 reps

Barbell Hip Thrusts: 2-3 sets 6-12 reps

I heard focusing on heavy resistance training for your glutes can help make them bigger, some other exercises can be hip thrusts and glute bridges also help with building more muscle in the butt.

I think genetics and gender also play a roll in how much bigger a butt can get mostly because thats how hormones affect women.
Some women have more muscle and stored fat in their butt. I even heard oatmeal and other complex carbohydrates can help achieve a bigger butt as well as adding more protein and healthy fats like avocado and eggs, as well in the diet. Personally i dont want a big butt lol

[yeahimadude]

I'd say twerking is also a good glute work out

[Sunrising]

I've done swats in the past, and other exercises at circuit training.

But do males and females want bigger butt's?

I would think firmer muscular butt's are the best.

Also beyond any doubt cycling is the best exercise for the butt and thighs.

[Asker]

My butt is fine but it's good to know lol

[MrChinaski]

I don't know much about cycling. I would have thought it develops slow-twitch fibre for endurance not fast twitch fibre for power. I'm pretty sure that olympic cycling sprinters squat seriously heavy as part of their training. So they are different exercises that produce different muscle development in pursuit of different needs.

[Sunrising]

@bddddd I am sure you are right, but we don't all want to be Olympians, and I would challenge any non cyclist for power or endurance on a cycle.

[Sunrising]

@ChicoFromThe305 I've also done squats in my time too 🤣

[Sunrising]

@bddddd I'm not a gym person with experience of working with weights, I'm sure people can achieve wonderful results, but for the average person that wants to stay fit and healthy, with well toned legs and rear, enjoying the countryside, also a cheap form of transport, cycling is the answer from my experience.

[MrChinaski]

@Sunrising Yes. It's fight or flight... you don't need to do both 😊 I wasn't suggesting that you convert. I lift, heavy. It does work for me. Cycling through the countryside sounds amazing and clearly does work for you. So we are both happy.

[aaron13547]

I think certain foods do it. Also maybe im crazy but I've noticed people that sit on there butt all day long and do nothing, got wayyy bigger butts then those that do squats. The squats make the nicer bootys.

[LazerBean]

No there are lots of exercises for that. Kickbacks, step ups, RDLs, and hip thrusts are some good ones.

[Hagar88]

Hill climbers and lunges as well. If you want to work your butt muscles just look at what the women are doing.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

No and they aren't even the best thing. Deadlifts and hip thrusts will grow your glutes faster than squats.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Probably reverse calf raises

[Asker]

Perhaps lol

[In_Trance]

MacDonald's will do it too

[Asker]

They can keep their human meat 😂

[beefcakebradybatson]

There are way too many big butts already !!!

[4ngelic]

no there's a bunch of different exercises

[Kenkebuttery]

Nope
