I know there are quite a few threads about this but I'm not sure if there's one thread that lists all of the methods. So far, these are the ones that I know of:
- Maca
- Aguaje
- Pueraria Mirifica
- Exercising with heavy weights (squats, lunges, hip thrusts etc.)
- Rubbing fish oil on glutes
- Gaining weight
- Volufiline
- Fat grafting (and implants of course)
Is there anything else known for growing glutes?? Have any of you managed to make your butt bigger and plumper?
Personally, I tried most of the things I listed above (except for surgery of course and pueraria mirifica). None of them worked. Not even going to the gym. I used heavy weights and low reps but my butt actually got smaller and yes, I did the exercises properly and I did take proper breaks. Do I have to eat McDonald's everyday?? Please share your experiences and tips!
Google "the glute guy" (bret contreras).
One exercise variation I found on his site is the kneeling squat. Lotte Berke method does it, too, without weights, I think it was "hip dancing".
From a kneeling position, you sit up, contracting the butt muscles. Builds the butt without using the legs, basically, with focus on the gluteus maximus. Might be able to adopt a sumo-style start position, E.G. Hero pose from Yoga, and then focus on the Gluteus Medius for more of a sweep to the hips.
For exercise, BTW, heavy weights, short duration, go for lactic acid buildup in the muscles you want to build. Lots of info on T-Nation for approaches.
Use what works...
