If you are not naturally blessed with beautiful, firm buttocks, this is not a problem, because regular exercise will help change the situation. By regularly performing the right exercises for the buttocks in the gym for girls, you will soon achieve results. The main thing is not to be lazy.
Basic exercises for pumping up the buttocks[edit | edit code]
The gluteus maximus muscles are well worked when performing basic leg exercises - squats, lunges and deadlifts. But for the medium and small bundles of the gluteal muscles, you need to perform special exercises - swinging your legs in a block device, or with leg weights. To fully work out the “minor” muscles of the gluteal region, you need to perform these exercises both in a standing position and lying on your side.

Causes of buttock atrophyedit | edit code
High-heeled shoes disrupt your posture and weaken your buttock muscles.
The modern lifestyle of men and women, when we have to sit and lie more than move, leads to atrophy of the buttocks. If you spend your working day at an office desk, your buttocks are inactive for many hours, and this causes degenerative changes in the muscle tissue. The result is a pathological loss of tone, which is not so easy to return even with heavy squats.

One of the reasons for the weakening of the posterior muscles of the thigh and buttocks, as well as the loss of their tone, is high-heeled shoes.
Move horizontally, not just vertically
Most of the strength and muscle building we do in the gym is done vertically. This means the movements are performed up and down, and not to the side (horizontally). Think about it: squats, lunges, bench press, pull-ups, shoulder exercises, leg raises. This is simply not enough for the gluteal muscles.
Sure, regular squats, lifts, and lunges will hurt, but they only primarily engage one of the three gluteal muscles —the gluteus maximus. The other two - gluteus medius and minimus - are mainly used to pull the legs away from the longitudinal axis of the body. This is why movements such as band walking and lateral lunges are essential.
A set of exercises for the buttocks[edit | edit code]
- Romanian deadlift 5x10,8,6,6,6 ( alternative:
lunges) - Single leg press 3x10
- Hyperextensions 3x10
- Pelvic lift 3x15,12,10
- Leg abduction 3x15,12,10
Romanian deadlift with dumbbellsedit | edit code
Romanian deadlift with dumbbells
START:
Stand up straight, holding dumbbells straight in front of you.
PERFORMANCE:
Keeping your back straight, slowly tilt your body until it is parallel to the floor. From the bottom position, straighten your body with a powerful isolated force from your hamstrings and glutes. While standing, tighten your buttocks statically. The main condition for high impact of the exercise is a straight back. If you, on the contrary, round your back, the load will shift to the spinal extensor muscles.
NOTE:
To enhance the effect of deadlifts on the buttocks, it is recommended to straighten your knees “locked” and keep your legs straight throughout the entire set. However, this technique forces a sharp reduction in the amount of working weight. Maintain a slight bend in your knees and focus on putting as much stress on your glutes as possible.
Single leg pressedit | edit code
Single leg press
START:
Get into a lying position on a leg press machine. Place one foot on the surface of the moving platform. Place your other foot on the floor.
PERFORMANCE:
Take the weight of the platform onto your working leg. Bend your knee and lower it down. Using a strong, controlled force, push the platform up. Do all repetitions with one leg, then switch working legs.
NOTE:
Place the foot of your working leg closer to the top edge of the moving platform. This will increase the load on the muscle.
Back hyperextensionedit | edit code
Back hyperextension
START:
Take the position of resting your hips on the support pad of the exercise machine. Cross your arms over your chest. Slowly bend at the waist and lower your head towards the floor.
PERFORMANCE:
Keeping your back straight, use a slow and controlled force from your buttocks and hamstrings to straighten your body “in line” with your legs. Without pausing, lower yourself to the starting position. Keep your knees slightly bent throughout the set.
NOTE:
The lower the hip pad is, the greater the load on your buttocks. Conversely, the high position of the pillow, when its upper edge is at the waistline, transfers a significant part of the load to the lower back muscles. If you want to use the gluteal muscles, then you need to keep your back round in both phases of flexion and extension, this way the gluteal muscles are activated best.
Lifting can fill | edit code
Pelvic lift
START:
Place two benches parallel at a distance slightly less than your height. Take the position of the support on the bench, as in the photo. Place your hands behind your head. Relax your body muscle tone and lower your pelvis low to the floor.
PERFORMANCE:
With a powerful effort, lift your pelvis as high as possible. At the top point, additionally tighten your buttocks statically for a couple of seconds.
NOTE:
To prevent the bench that serves as a footrest from tipping over, move it against the wall.
Taking the leg backedit | edit code
Taking the leg back
START:
Attach a soft handle to the end of the pulley cable. Place the foot of one foot into the handle. Lower yourself into a squat and assume a straight arms position with your head facing the block.
PERFORMANCE:
Slowly straighten the knee of your working leg and move your foot back and up as far as possible. Slowly and in a controlled manner return to the starting position.
NOTE:
Women can perform this exercise with a shock absorber.

Exercises for the buttocks
There are no gender differences in exercise. They are equally suitable for men and women. The only difference is in the amount of work: the mass of equipment, the number of repetitions and approaches.
I should immediately note that training the buttocks also involves working on the thighs and calf muscles.
Squats
The exercise is a classic for training the buttocks and thighs in the gym. It is recommended for those who want to build muscle in their legs. At the same time, there is a load on the back muscles.
The maximum benefit of exercise occurs when an anabolic effect is achieved. There is a rule for the minimum number of repetitions specifically for this. So the number of repetitions should not be less than 8 times, and the approaches should not be less than 3.
Lunges with a barbell
The main focus of the exercise is on the thigh muscles. However, the greatest “crowding” goes to the buttocks. During a lunge, the position of the front leg should be 90 degrees, i.e. at the same level as the ankle. The back is straight, slightly arched at the lower back.
Number of lunges – 10-12 times, approaches – 3.
Lunges with dumbbells
The technique is almost identical to lunges with a barbell. The only difference is the type and weight distribution of the projectile. If, when performing an exercise with a barbell, the projectile was placed on the shoulders, now it is distributed on each arm. Thus, the muscles of the arms receive a static load, and the legs receive a dynamic load.
The position of the front leg is at ankle level. The hind leg is straight or slightly bent. The back is straight, slightly arched at the lower back. If you can’t straighten your back, slightly squeeze your shoulder blades.
It is also performed with the standing leg placed behind you on a gymnastic bench. This type of exercise is called “split squats.”
Number of repetitions – 10-12 times, approaches – 3.
Gluteal bridge
There are two options for performing this exercise: up and down.
Up. The exercise engages the gluteal muscles, as well as the hips, back and abs. To perform this, you must have a gymnastics mat.
Number of repetitions – 15-20 times, perform 3 sets.
Down. This option involves using a gymnastic bench and a barbell or plate as weights.
It is important to take a stable position. Relax your neck muscles as much as possible.
The projectile is located on the groin area and is held by hands. A smooth lowering and raising of the pelvis is performed 10-15 times, over 3 series.
More glute bridge options:
Hack squats
The exercise is performed on a special simulator, which involves additional weighting. The machine allows you to do deep squats, which has a positive effect on training your buttocks.
To increase the load on the gluteal muscles, place your legs as close as possible. If you do it opposite, placing your feet at a distance of 50 cm, you can give roundness to the buttocks.
You need to do 10-15 repetitions for each of 3 approaches.
Bench leg press
Similar to hack squats with the difference that they are performed lying with their feet up. Reverse squats.
Refers to exercises that make all muscle groups of the legs work, including the buttocks. Depending on the position of the legs, you can change the degree of load on different groups. To shift the center of gravity of the projectile to the buttocks, you need to put your feet 40-50 cm and place them on the upper part of the platform.
A specialized exercise machine has handles for gripping with your hands. Use them to support your spine.
Perform 8-10 reps for each of 3 sets.
Deadlift on straight legs
Using the exercise will allow you to achieve rounded buttocks and hips. This exercise lifts the buttocks away from the hips and enhances the beauty of the legs.
Performed using a barbell or dumbbell. Bend down on straight legs and return to the starting position. Additionally, back muscles and posture are trained. The number of repetitions is 10-15 times and 3 sets.
Lying leg curl
Comfortable exercise. It is performed lying on your stomach on a simulator. Recommended to be performed at the final stage of training.
The main load from the exercise falls on the biceps of the thigh (back surface). To increase the impact on the buttocks, it is necessary to move the legs back as far as possible. Try to touch your buttocks with your heels.
Perform 3 series 8-10 times.
Be careful. Possible cramps in the back of the thigh. This can happen due to muscle fatigue or high weight of the projectile. If a cramp appears, lower the weight.
Drawing up a workout for pumping the buttocks[edit | edit code]
Before starting a set of exercises for the buttocks, you need to warm up your legs. First, you need to stretch your joints with rotating movements. Then warm up your cardiovascular system with a short jog.
- Number of strength exercises for the buttocks during training
: 3-6 (2-4 basic and 1-3 isolating) - Total number of approaches per workout:
8-15 - Number of repetitions in each approach:
10-15 - Butt training frequency:
1-2 times a week
Start training with light weights and gradually increase the weight. To pump up your buttocks, you need to constantly increase the weight of the weights, lowering them by 1 repetition at each workout. So if you start training with 20 repetitions to failure, then after 3-4 months you should reach 8-10 repetitions to failure. This principle is called linear periodization. This way you increase the intensity linearly.
If your primary goal in training is to pump up your buttocks, then you should set aside a separate day of the week to work them out. In this workout, many include up to 6 exercises for the buttocks, and 2-3 additional ones (for other muscles of the legs and back). However, a large amount of exercise is not necessary. Most experts are inclined to believe that 2 basic exercises (8-10 approaches) and 1 isolating exercise (7-5 approaches) are enough. Basic exercises will involve not only the gluteal muscles, but also the muscles of the hips and lower back.
Split training (two days):
- Day 1: Leg day (focus on the buttocks)
- Day 2: Upper Body Day
Weightsedit | edit code
Since any repetition scheme gives results at first, in order to build muscle mass it is better not to exceed the 20 repetition limit. By using calf weights, you can work your gluteal muscles more effectively. Unfortunately, shin weights are usually light in weight - from 5 to 10 kilograms. They will be useful for a while, but the weight is not enough to provide stress to your glutes as you build up your strength.
Block traineredit | edit code
In addition to shin weights, you can use cuffs to which the cables of the exercise machine are attached. This will allow you to gradually increase the load. The problem of selecting a load is easily solved thanks to simulators for the gluteal muscles.
Pumping up the buttocks to improve squat results | edit code
Many people advise to first pump up the buttocks and hamstrings, and only then take on the quadriceps. The reverse order is counterproductive. The same buttocks are the main auxiliary muscles when performing squats.
The weakness of an important link will not allow you to develop in squats the level of intensity beyond which the growth of strength and mass of the quadriceps begins.
To pump up your buttocks, you need to do this together with your hamstrings, but if these muscles are especially hard hit by physical inactivity, train them in a separate training program twice a week.
The main exercise here is the Romanian dumbbell deadlift. Dumbbells help you better feel the work of your buttocks. This is explained by the fundamental difference in the biomechanics of deadlifting with different implements. The barbell puts more stress on the back extensors, but you hold the dumbbells much closer to the vertical axis of the body, and therefore the maximum load goes to the muscles of the back of the thighs and buttocks.
Use the pyramid method. Gradually increase the weight of the dumbbells from set to set so that the final deadlift set is extremely heavy. Also, after 5-7 months, you can use periodization of loads.
The single leg press has an important difference from its classic version. It causes a more powerful contraction of the gluteal muscle. The remaining exercises for the buttocks are auxiliary and represent isolating classics
The main thing in such movements is the laser precision of the technique, and not the magnitude of the workload.

Women's muscles differ from men's only in weaker pectoral muscles. Women's leg muscles are completely identical. For this reason, women can also benefit from the program. Only working weights will require adjustments.
Preparation for competitions
Jenna's naturally fast metabolism helps keep her lean and helps her prepare for competitions, but can be a bit frustrating when bulking up. The solution, she says, is a willingness to evolve and find an approach to training that works for you.
“One day during my training, I noticed that my hamstrings were superior in development to my quadriceps,” from an interview with Jenna Webb in Ormond Beach, Florida. “What works best for me now is to do heavy quad exercises at the beginning of my leg workout, and then do lighter weight, higher rep exercises at the end.”
Jenna trains her legs once a week, allowing them to fully recover and begin to grow before training them again, her workouts are never the same. “I vary the workout every time,” she admits. “I love trying new techniques and working my muscles from different angles.”
For example, when performing single-leg presses, she likes to “play” with the position of the foot on the platform to emphasize the load on different areas of the leg and buttocks. Webb says that placing the foot on the lower part of the platform puts more emphasis on the quadriceps, while placing it higher on the hamstrings and glutes. “When doing squats, I take a sumo stance with my feet shoulder-width apart or my feet together.”
Before starting her leg workout, Jenna Webb warms up for 10 minutes by doing dynamic exercises, such as walking with knee raises, lunges, stretches, etc. She believes that such a warm-up before training can help everyone.
“Not warming up is a common mistake I see people forget to do before leg training,” Webb says. “I literally see people come into the gym, go straight to the squat rack, hang up a bunch of plates, and do a few reps with them. And they think that they are now ready for full training. It makes me cringe every time!”
How to properly pump up your butt: 3 supersets
Do you want a beautiful, round, elastic butt without fat deposits?! Read on for 3 killer supersets that will make even the most impenetrable buttocks grow.
To create those buttocks that the Internet is full of, you need to literally work hard, and one or two exercises is not enough. Many people first of all think about how to squat correctly to pump up their butt, but just one basic exercise is not enough.
Why are supersets able to bring the desired result and what is their importance? This is a training scheme that involves performing two exercises one after another without a break. This is a double load on the buttocks, it is this factor that gives amazing results.
Before describing the entire training process, watch a motivating video of girls with pumped buttocks:
Warm muscles - Strong muscles
Many people choose to skip the warm-up step because they don't consider it important to their workout. If you came to training to do a few sets of arms and abs, then okay, you can shorten the warm-up time or do the first sets without weight. But when you're preparing for a tough lower-body workout like this, you owe it to yourself to warm up properly.
Warm up
They are more elastic, stronger. Remember, and this is the end of it. Try a five-minute warm-up on the treadmill, followed by 2-3 warm-up sets of the first exercise of the workout. If you need more time to warm up, do the warm-up longer. Just find a way to warm up your engine.
How often to train?
The training program is designed for 3 days of training in the gym per week. At the first training session, when we have the most strength (after the weekend), we do basic exercises for the legs and buttocks. They put a serious strain not only on the legs, but on the whole body. Light isolation exercises (use only one muscle group) - at the end of the week. The program contains more lower body exercises, so we removed most of the upper body isolation exercises (arms). But don't worry about it. Your arms will get plenty of exercise while training your back. In addition, for girls it is not so important to increase the volume of biceps and triceps as to tidy up their legs and buttocks.
Yes, you can simply add one extra day on your legs to your regular split training program. But many girls don't have time for this. Plus – rest and recovery after training. Not only the muscles, but also the nervous system also needs sleep and rest.
Circular superset for the buttocks area
Circular training for the buttocks and thighs is carried out no more than once a week, since it is necessary to allow the muscle tissue to recover from aggressive effects on them and complete the biochemical process of synthesizing new cells. Mandatory conditions for a superset are the dynamics of movements, the absence of inertia in them and adherence to exercise technique. The training is carried out without rest between exercises. A short break to restore breathing is possible between blocks, the number of which they try to increase to 4-5.
Exercise No. 1 – Squat with a side step
Starting position: standing, body straight. Taking a step to the side, squat until the thigh reaches a position parallel to the floor. You should try to keep your back as straight as possible, but a slight forward bend is allowed without bending the spine. Hands are clasped in front of you to maintain body balance.
It is important to follow the correct squatting technique and not to focus the movement on one hip. Having taken a step and leaving your buttocks down, keep your body vertical
Watch the position of your knees. When they are pushed inward, the effort directed at tensing the gluteal muscles decreases, which interferes with the effectiveness of the exercise. The exercise is performed 20-25 times in one direction and the same amount in the other, while combining a high tempo and the correct training technique.
Exercise No. 2 – Lunge-Curtsey
To perform the exercise, take a step back so that you can sit down in a position that simulates a curtsey. Keeping the body tilted forward, squat so that the leg going down does not touch the floor with the knee. The hands are clasped in front for balance. The correct technique is to perform the movement with emphasis on the gluteal area
To push, it is important not to shift the emphasis to the quadriceps of the limb that goes down, but to use the force of the front thigh. A wide range of stretching between the body and the knee will allow maximum load on the gluteal muscles
For experienced athletes, an option is possible when the movement is performed with alternating changes of legs. However, it is difficult for beginners to maintain balance and follow the movement technique, so they first perform 20-25 lunges on one leg, then change position and repeat the movement for the second.
Exercise No. 3 – Bend forward on straight legs
The exercise is aimed at the upper zone of the buttocks. Starting position: feet shoulder-width apart, but not too wide, resting on the heels, hands clasped near the chest. Tilt the body so that the back remains straight and the hip muscles receive maximum stretch. The movement is performed by stretching the muscles of the gluteal area. You can diversify the exercise by using a barbell or bodybar, holding them on your shoulders. The forward bend is performed as low as the amplitude of stretching the buttocks allows, but without bending the back - this removes the effort from the area being worked. The number of repetitions is 20-50 times. This exercise is necessary to obtain a pumping effect, so the number of bends should be as large as possible until a characteristic burning sensation appears in the area.
Exercise No. 4 – Leg swings
The exercise improves the inner and outer thighs. Starting position: lying on your back, hands clasped behind your head, legs raised up and knees bent, toes pointing down. Simultaneously lift the legs vertically upward, then make a sharp swing with the legs to the sides, fold them back together vertically and lower them to the starting position. Execution technique - when lifting up, the knees should be straightened and tense; weakening the muscle tension worsens the result. The number of repetitions is 20-30 times. At the same time, the raised upper part of the body in constant tension will ensure the development of the abs.
Supersets for buttocks
Smith Barbell Squats + Leg Press
The first superset with a mixture of basic exercises, squats are the main exercise to create mass in the buttocks, and the leg press will add the necessary forms and correct them.
Features of squats
Rack
Feet are shoulder-width apart and stable, about 1-2 feet forward from the classic barbell squat. This immediately removes some of the load from the quadriceps area and moves it to the buttocks.
Squat depth
It is worth lowering it just below parallel with the floor, only in this way the gluteal muscles are included in the work to the fullest.
Amplitude
The muscles are put into action from the lowest point of the squat below parallel to parallel, that is, as soon as the angle between the heel and hips is more than 90 degrees, the load from the buttocks moves to the front of the thigh.
The ideal option is to perform Smith squats through 1/3 of the entire range of motion - from a full squat to a 45-degree angle while lifting the weight.
Features of the leg press
The feet must be placed at the top of the platform, and the platform itself must be lowered as low as possible. This exercise is a mirror image of the Smith squat, but in a different form. Here the legs are also placed forward and movements must also be carried out in the region of 1/3 of the entire amplitude of movement. The peculiarity of the bench press is that if your lower back is bothering you, you can replace it with a leg press while doing squats, but squats in general are always not in competition.
Number of repetitions
It is necessary to perform 8-12 repetitions over 5-6 approaches, this amount will be enough to form powerful gluteal muscles.
Romanian deadlift + lying leg curl in the machine
The main goal is to correct the lower part of the buttocks and increase the shape of the hamstrings.
The Romanian deadlift is a good stretch for the hamstrings and lower glutes, and leg curls are great for contracting the hamstrings.
Features of the Romanian deadlift
It is necessary to lower the barbell to the center of the shin, and at the lowest point, pause for a second for the peak of the hamstring stretch. It is necessary to rise without a jerk with tense abdominal muscles without bending the lower back back.
Features of bending legs while lying down
Be sure to hang your knees behind the support platform before starting the exercise so as not to injure the knee tendons. It is necessary to bend your legs completely, almost touching the buttocks with the rollers; it is advisable to pause for 1-2 seconds at the maximum point of contraction.
The number of repetitions when performing a superset is 8-10 with 4-5 approaches.
Leg swings back + leg raises while sitting in the simulator
The main goal of this super series is pumping the lateral and upper gluteal muscles.
The last complex includes exclusively isolated exercises, where the load is aimed specifically at the buttock.
Features of leg swings back
Leg swings strain the butt well; the point of the exercise is that the leg must be pulled back as far as possible, which will allow the gluteal muscle to fully contract.
Features of sitting leg extensions
The lateral part of the buttocks is included in the work only at the last 1/3 of the amplitude of movement and leg extension is best suited for this. Consequently, the entire duration of the exercise is carried out in this manner, that is, it is necessary to not bend your legs completely, which will allow you to maintain tension in the muscles and prevent them from relaxing. This is the only way to get the most out of the exercise and achieve excellent results.
To increase the load on the buttocks, it is necessary to tilt the body forward, so they will be involved in the work 100%.
This superset must be performed over 3-4 approaches, performing each 10-12 times.

Types of supersets
Superset workouts aren't just for the lower torso. It’s very good to train the top like this. For example, a superset for girls for arms may contain exercises for arm curls and extensions. When performing bending, the biceps are actively involved and bear the main load. The extension is aimed at working the triceps. Biceps and triceps are antagonist muscles. The principle of execution is exactly the same as when performing the supersets described above.
What weight should you choose? Here you should focus on your own feelings and be guided by the fact that the weight should be less than the working weight. It may be worth performing exercises for bending your arms with one weight, and doing extension exercises with another. Arm curls are performed while standing vertically. Extensions are best performed with the body tilted forward. The back should be straight. There should be a deflection in the lower back. The amplitude of execution in both exercises should be maximum. This is necessary so that the muscle stretches and contracts as much as possible.
How is this possible?
If you were attentive, then you might be confused by one fact. How is it possible that supersets are used for both weight gain and weight loss and are effective in both cases?
Great question, let me tell you? It's simple.
In training, too much depends on nutrition. If you are training to gain muscle mass, then you need to work with weights and get an excess of calories, i.e. “feed” the muscles so they grow.
Accordingly, nothing prevents you from doing strength exercises with weights in supersets and eating a lot.
To lose weight, you need a calorie deficit. We all know this. And, of course, training should make you sweat. Accordingly, these are more active workouts that use exercises with light weights.
So it turns out that we combine several intense exercises into a superset and get an even more intense load, greater calorie consumption and, while eating with a calorie deficit, faster weight loss.
As you can see, superset training has so many benefits that it's definitely worth trying. I'm sure you will appreciate them.

Useful tips
You won't be able to pump up your buttocks in one day. It actually takes a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve that round shape you're looking for, and you need to structure your workouts clearly and effectively.
Luckily, you don't have to guess anymore about what makes a big butt. We've rounded up some of our best, most useful butt-building tips. All of them come from trainers and experts who know a thing or two about strengthening the lower body.
Lift heavy weights
While it may be tempting to stick with strength training that focuses on moving your own body weight, experts say it's better to lift heavier weights if you want a bigger butt. Muscle growth occurs when you tense your muscles. Therefore, if the goal is to make the butt grow, it is necessary to strain it with resistance with a more complex weight than it was before.
This means you have to lift a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebell to see results. As your body adjusts, be sure to continue to include your glutes in your workouts by adding weight, increasing the overall load, or increasing the number of sessions relative to what you're training with.
Try to do one or two lower body workouts every week. Choose primarily strength exercises that focus on your lower body.
The main exercises for growing the buttocks are all kinds of lunges and squats. Choose heavy basic exercises with the correct movement technique. These exercises require the hip joints to work through basic movement and loading. Try to move your pelvis back as far as possible. The knee joint, in this case, is in one position. Don't bring your knees forward. Leg presses with an emphasis on the heels and all kinds of bridges with weights are also good.
Focus on sprinting rather than long distances
The glutes are the most important muscle group for proper running. Sprinters require a huge amount of glute strength to finish short distances, so doing power interval runs rather than long runs can help you build up your butt even more, especially if you do it in combination with strength training. Focus on running powerfully uphill with short intervals and good rest.
Eat more food! Diet.
To actually gain muscle mass and get a bigger butt, you need to fuel your body with the right amount of food. First of all, through daily protein intake. The general rule is to eat at least 1 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.
If you don't add all this extra food into your diet, you won't see the results you expect. So stick to whole, simple foods, and don't be afraid to eat!

A complex of supersets for the buttocks for girls
You need to start your workout by warming up your legs and knee joints. Warm-up consists of doing regular squats. They are done in 2 approaches to parallel, 30 repetitions.
When the warm-up is complete, begin the actual training:
Block 1
Plie squat (that is, with a dumbbell between the legs) plus deadlift with dumbbells
It consists of performing a squat with an immediate transition to a deadlift after about ten seconds. Next, there is a break of 45-70 seconds and repetition of the ligament.
Achieving the desired result suggests that the superset should be done 2 times, and the number of repetitions in each should be increased to 15.
Block 2
Lunges with dumbbells and slight forward thrust
This exercise is not a superset, but is aimed at working exclusively the gluteal muscles.
You need to do lunges with maximum dedication. There should be at least three approaches, and at least 15 repetitions in each. The ideal option is to perform lunges so many times until a burning sensation begins to be felt in the buttocks.
Once the lunges are completed, move on to the next superset, which allows you to develop the hamstrings, and not just the gluteal muscles.
Block 3
Leg abduction “plus” hyperextension without weights
It involves performing from 2 to 3 super series, each of which contains 15 repetitions. The main thing is to maintain the correct rhythm. Rest between individual approaches in a set should be a maximum of 15 seconds, and between series - no more than 60 seconds.
This workout program is a highly effective program that results in rounder, firmer buttocks.
It is important to remember regularity. You need to practice the presented complex at least once a week
It is not recommended to spend more than forty minutes working on the gluteal muscles during one session.
Gym butt training program
Usually, active visits to the gym begin with the arrival of cold weather, when it is not comfortable to run outside. Another reason is the fact that the muscles require a change in load. Otherwise, muscle addiction occurs, and the effectiveness of training decreases.
1 day
- Lunges with a barbell – 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Rest 2 minutes between sets.
- Lunges with dumbbells – 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Rest 1.5-2 minutes.
- Barbell squats – 3 series of 10-12 reps. Rest 3 minutes.
- Glute bridge down – 3 sets of 10-15 reps.
- Lying leg curls – 3 sets of 8-10 times.
Day 2
- Hack squats – 3 sets of 10-15 reps.
- Bench leg press – 3 series of 8-10 times.
- Straight-legged rows – 3 series of 8-10 repetitions.
- Gluteal bridge up – 3 sets of 15-20 reps
- Lying leg bending – 3 x 8-10 times
Day 3
- Gluteal bridge up – 3 x 15-20 repetitions.
- Glute bridge down – 3 x 10-12 reps.
- Lunges with dumbbells (split squats) – 3 series of 10-12 repetitions.
- Squats with a barbell - 3 x 10-12 repetitions.
- Lying leg curls (reduced weight) – 3 x 15-20 repetitions.
During training in the gym, it is worth increasing the number of approaches and repetitions. It is important to follow the technique of performing the exercises. To increase muscle volume, it is necessary to perform exercises with a high weight of the projectile. If the goal is to achieve muscle definition, then the weight lifted should be low. Systematic training is the key to achieving beautiful buttocks!
What does the bar give?
The plank has many advantages, which are why millions love it. It seems to me that cats are less popular on the Internet than the plank. So, what does the bar give us, why is it needed and what is its effectiveness? Let's list them point by point.
Press
First of all, the plank helps strengthen the abdominal muscles. As for me, this is its main purpose. With this exercise you can make your stomach look more toned.
This is especially suitable for those who don’t have much fat, but their stomach sticks out as if they were 5 months pregnant or ate a bucket of dumplings.
With this exercise, your stomach will become more toned, and if you add a vacuum and tighten your waist, then everyone on the beach will be jealous.
Posture
If you follow the correct technique, your abdominal muscles and muscles along the spine will work.
And if the muscles hold your spine like a corset, then this will force you to walk with a straight back and maintain your posture.
This is a very nice bonus, agree.
Training many muscles at once
As I wrote above, the plank involves a large number of muscles. If you look at it, almost every major muscle on your body works in this exercise.
Yes, the core muscles work mainly, but if your shoulders, legs and back get a little more load than not at all, then this will be more of a plus than a minus.
Burning calories
For those who have been reading my blog for a long time, it has long been no secret that basic exercises that work as many muscle fibers as possible are best for burning calories.
This exercise works a lot of muscle groups, and not the smallest ones.
Consequently, quite a lot of calories are burned. This means it will help you lose weight. But if the only reason you need a bar is to lose weight, then I will disappoint you.
This is not as effective an exercise for burning fat as, for example, squats or lunges. After all, more calories are burned during dynamic exercise when muscle fibers contract. And the plank is a static load, so fewer calories will be burned here.
Other advantages
And the most important advantage of the plank is that you can tell all your friends and acquaintances that you are doing the plank. I don’t know for sure, but they say that those who do the plank are allowed into the public toilet without queuing. Of course, I’m not sure about this, but the fact that passers-by will give you respectful glances is for sure. They may even give up their seat on public transport. The main thing is don’t forget to post a photo on Instagram of you doing the plank.
What needs to be considered when correcting the buttocks?
It must be remembered that the training process for strengthening the gluteal muscles in women has its own nuances. They are determined by individual characteristics that relate to body shape and weight.
Girls who want to make their buttocks firm, but are overweight, should consider the following points:
- first you should review your eating habits, getting rid of fat deposits in the buttocks;
- include aerobic exercise in your training program by running and doing cardio exercises, as well as perform circuit and interval training;
- exercise hard and regularly, taking into account that at this pace it will take at least six months to achieve the desired result with a slight excess weight.
A lean physique requires a slightly different approach, consisting of the following:
- mandatory increase in the amount of calories and protein consumed;
- performing training on a regular basis including basic exercises;
- doing predominantly strength training, which stimulates muscle growth in the buttocks;
- increasing nutritional value only through animal protein, vegetables, cereals and fruits, and not unhealthy foods.
To have beautiful and firm buttocks, you need to make a lot of effort, but with a ready-made superset program and a gym membership at your disposal, they will fully justify themselves.

Summarizing
To become the owner of beautiful and toned buttocks, you need to try and give all your best in the gym. The first classes, of course, will not be easy, but gradually everything will return to normal and the exercises will be much easier. The main thing is not to forget about nutrition, which should be moderate and correct.
It is much more difficult for women to train muscles. Men have much higher endurance by nature and the body of the stronger half of humanity is more susceptible to drying, lifting weights, and so on. But, if you really try and work on yourself, visit the gym regularly, the results will not take long to arrive.
