Holy Grail to Bubble Butt?

[DualPurpose]

Hey Guys,

I just saw this link on a very, very comprehensive website called NowLoss.com. It's entitled Butt Exercise for Bigger Butt Muscles Only. Normally I'd be skeptical, but this guy seems to know what he's on about and plus—from what I can see, anyway—he's not selling anything like an ebook or DVD.

So, my question is, does it work on JUST the butt muscles? I've heard that it's only a proper bubble butt if the thighs aren't as big as the ass itself, but I don't know what to think. :/ Is this really what I've been looking for?

Also, I'm currently dieting and doing a LOT of cardio. I'm losing weight and getting into shape at 19 like I should have done years ago. But when I'm finished on the heavy diet part and just want to make my lifestyle healthier, I do want to work on my ass.

Won't I have to eat like 2800 calories to build muscle? How the hell won't I put the weight back on? It's a mystery to me. Do I need to eat that much if I'm just working on my ass?

Thanks!

DP.

Unless you are under a normal body weight, I wouldn't recommend eating dramatically more to get a bigger ass.

I have heard that for people who are on otherwise low glycemic index diets (such as myself) that eating a bit of immediately available carbodydrates like an apple or orange before or right after exercise is helpful when doing weigh training.

I might try this exercise tomorrow. I could always use a bigger butt!

There's a difference between toning muscle and building muscle.

What you're wanting is a firm toned ass. You can do this by eating a balanced diet and doing toning exercises that target the gluteals and the hamstrings.

If you want to build muscle, you're going to have to workout, workout, workout and eat, eat, eat. But the goals of a bodybuilder is to have a balanced body, so a bodybuilder would not be focusing on one body part- the goal is to build all muscles so that there's balance. And bodybuilding takes years and a big daily time commitment.

Thanks for that. I know there's a difference between toning and building muscle. That exercise in the video suggests adding weight for the building part. I don't need to tone, I want it to be bigger, as it sticking out. My ass is already tight.

So are you saying that unless I go all out and try to build weight everywhere I can't build it on my ass? And if I can just build it on my ass, do I need to eat a lot?

Sorry to bump this up, KaraBulut, but I don't know where else to get advice on this topic.

I am a long term weight trainer.

What is your precise need?

I want to build muscle on my ass. I'm not particularly interested in building muscle elsewhere (though it wouldn't be so bad!). I already have a good base, I just want to fill jeans well! (I'm already toned, so that's not the issue).

I want my ass to stick out, so that means I want to build as little muscle as possible on my legs. I saw this video, that claims to do just that: http://www.nowloss.com/best-butt-exercise-for-bigger-butt-muscles-only.htm what are your opinions on that exercise, provided that enough weight is added?

BUT, my main question is— if I want to build muscle on my ass, do I have to eat the 2800+ calories that body builders require? I've just lost a lot of weight and am terrified I'll put it back on, especially when I'm really just concentrating on my ass. I have no problem eating protein supplements and carbohydrate supplements with that, too, once I don't go radically over my calorie limit and put on weight.

So to summarise:

1. Is it possible to build large amounts of muscle, just on the ass?
2. Is this exercise above what I need to avoid putting too much on my legs?
3. Will I be able to build large amounts of muscle without eating as much as body builders do, since I'm concentrating just on my ass?

Thanks a million!

The best exercise for your butt is the squat. There are a variety of squat exercises. All squat exercises will strengthen your legs, and your lower back as well as developing your buns.

You do not need to eat large amounts of food - per a body builder's eating programme - to develop your butt.

Alternate day exercises for the squat is recommended. Start with light weights, and be patient with your progress.Do not rush this exercise routine, or add too much weight, too quickly. Accidents occur when adding too much weight too quickly. Slipped discs are common among those who over do the weights, or rush this exercise. Take your time and execute each squat very slowly.

I squat three times a week. Five sets of 10 reps at 65 kilos, or 143 lb. You do not need too much weight to develop an attractive butt. I repeat take your time. Patience will pay you a rewarding dividend in the form of an attractive butt.

1. No
2. Avoid the captioned video routine as it is mainly for toning the butt, rather than developing the butt.
3. Drink your regular protein shake and this will suffice.

Thanks. You don't know how long I've been waiting for someone who actually knows what they're talking about!

So if I was to take it slow, as suggested, three times a week, could I see results in six weeks? As in noticeably larger?

And is that exercise I linked to still not good even if you add weight to it?

Thanks again.

Your captioned exercise video is fine for toning your butt, but not for inflating your butt.

It is very important that you execute the squat very slowly to obtain the maximum benefit.

You will observe an inflated butt after the first session.

Ensure that you allow one day of rest between each squat routine work out.

Remember to observe the safety recommendations that I have drawn to your attention so as to avoid lower back injuries.

Thanks again for your help. I've just bought an expensive weights set and will begin my routines soon.

Can I continue with my normal cardio (40 minutes on a treadmill and 3.5km walk) every day or what?

You may.

Cardio is best undertaken prior to your squat sessions.

Good luck with your new endeavour.
