so how does one join the squat booty sorority? is it weighted squats only or do ladies who do tabata sets of bw squats count too?

[bluebird88]

I want to join!!!

[bambifox]

Hello fellow squat booty sorority members and welcome bluebird88!!!! :D

Hey all...I've decided to go out today and purchase a bar so that I can do deadlifts. I hear they're really effective for the glutes.

If you could pick "one" butt exercise (for effectiveness), which one would it be?

[javyn]

Got my gf willing to squat Bambi, I'm so excited ;)

[soccersenior]

ok ok...i've been doing my squats in the gym..trying to get my butt bigger and lose the crease....what do i gotta do to be in the sorority? i wanna join! i want a squat booty!

[SeaJules]

How much weight do you girls use when you squat? I use only about 75 lbs. Am I a whimp?

[leilani_uga]

How much weight do you girls use when you squat? I use only about 75 lbs. Am I a whimp?

I've gotten as high as 135lbs but I usually do around 115lbs so I can really focus on getting low. Just do as high of weight as you feel comfortable. I'd suggest 1 WU with the bar + 4 sets (12, 10, 8, 6) increasing the weight as you go. If you get to 6 reps but it's still easy, increase your weight next time! I've only been lifting for about 2 months and my quads have come in quite nicely using this method!

How's ja go about proving that one?

at first it was a spoon pic with three spoons.

and then, later, a spoon pic with my username and the date written on a piece of paper. No one asked for that one, it was just after the stella summers incident when everyone was freaking out about which girls in the misc were actually girls :o and I didn't want people to think I'm a guy.

but I don't have pictures in my profile or avatar, and I don't post in the misc frequently enough for people to recognize me, so people don't really call me out on anything.

To join all I think you have to do is put this "A∑∑" in your sig and start squatting :)

[erinlee01]

This thread is awesome!

And how do I join?

I do a bunch of different squats:

ATG squats
Plie squats
Split squats
Lateral squats

Very exhausting, but they appear to be working. :)

[leilani_uga]

My faves for targeting the rear end?

ATG Squats
Romanian Deadlifts
Step Ups
Sumo Squats w/ DB

-All done with heavy ASS weights! ;)

Also:

Plyometrics will definitely have you wanting to pee standing up for a few days! :p

Squat Jumps
Tuck Jumps
Walking Lunges
Split Jumps
High Steps
Side Lunges
(all with 50 yard sprints in between)

[Esoteric-Amal]

What a bootyful thread this is, the study of improving the buttocks appearance, and aesthetics all is right in the world. [cough... anybody tried doing sprints great glute builder]

[frusciante69]

Thanks heaps.

I'm just starting out. Can someone help me make a squatting routine for me? (and explain the different kinds, as mentioned above).

[chenko]

Thanks heaps.

Welcome Aussie

Start slow .......3-4 sets of atg (ass to ground) squats using light weights and getting the feel of the exercise

Generally squatting deeper as opposed to stopping where your legs are parallel to the ground brings in more of the glutes

I will hand it over to the more knowledgeable ladies now for more specifics :D

[leilani_uga]

Thanks heaps.

I'm just starting out. Can someone help me make a squatting routine for me? (and explain the different kinds, as mentioned above).

Hey hun! I definitely know the feeling of just starting out, so I'm more than happy to offer a lending hand!

If you go here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm you'll find descriptions of most of the exercises we talk about on this thread. And the best part is that they also have videos in case you want to see the exercise in action!

Now for some detailed definitions:

ATG Squats - "Ass To Grass" squats is quite literal. When squatting, it's best to go AT LEAST deep enough that your thighs are parallel to the ground. The lower, the better (trust me, you'll feel it in the quads and glutes if you're doing it right). It doesn't matter if you can squat 300lbs if you're only getting three inches down. That doesn't count! Lower your weights until your form is perfected and only then start pushing yourself with heavier weights! Remember to ask someone to spot you as you progress with new weights!

Speaking of heavier weights...always warm up with some light cardio and do one set of any exercise (especially in the beginner stage) with light weight. But then really push yourself with the heavier weights! As a girl, you're not going to get all big and muscle-ly unless your taking steriods, were born a man, or have been lifting heavy ass weights with a very clean, high protein diet for years! Don't be afraid of the squat rack with that daunting barbell! ;)

Romanian vs. Sumo: basically, every time you hear Sumo, think of Sumo wrestlers' stances-WIDE. So when I say you do a sumo squat or deadlift, you know that your feet should be further than shoulder width apart. Romanian is the opposite. Your feet are closer together! Easy as pie!

I had also mentioned plyometrics. You can pretty much find a million youtube videos on the subject. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U89oPkZla5I

My one warning is to treat this workout the same as if you were doing a leg workout in the gym. So that means you should put at least 3 days between plyos and lifting! And ease into plyo training. Many athletes have a hard time with it, so us regular 'ol gym-goers need to be especially careful.

Yeah, I think that pretty much covers it. And if anyone here wants to correct me on something, go right ahead! Having tons of opinions is a good thing that helps you adjust according to YOUR needs!

[SeaJules]

Great tips leilani uga! Thanks for the links! :)

[javyn]

What is this plyometrics?

[centro24]

Hey i am new here but i have a question about sqats, I have been sqatting for a long time and just recently sqats have started to hurt my hips, i dont know why and i havent done anything different... any have any ideas?

[centro24]

Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in a specific sport. Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength, elasticity and innervation of muscle and surrounding tissues to jump higher, run faster, throw farther, or hit harder, depending on the desired training goal.

[javyn]

So I take it this pylometrics is good for the booty? That's all I care about here....ass ass ass ass ass ass

[BalloonKnot]

...always warm up with some light cardio...

I find that dynamic warm ups work much better and are completely functional too.

I perform these dynamic warm up exercises before a workout:

X-band Walk 12/side
Supine Bridge 1x12
Birddog 8/side
Warrior Lunge Static Stretch 15s/side
Seated 90/90 Static Stretch 15s/side
Knee pull walk
Pull-Back Butt Kick 5/side
Cradle Walk 5/side
Overhead Lunge Walks 5/side
Walking Spidermans 5/side
Side to side leg swings 10/side
Wall Ankle Mobilizations 8/side
Squat to stand 10
Split-Stance Broomstick Pec Mobilizations 8/side
Scapula push ups 15

This warm up takes about 10 minutes and if performed correctly will more than warm you up and make sure you do not injure yourself.

I also do the following warm up:

Olympic barbell - 5 reps

*Perform the next 5 rep warm up set with 50 pounds on the bar and keep adding 50 pounds to each successive warm up set until I get to the weight I plan to use for my first set.

I have not had any injuries since using this protocol.

I know for a fact she can squat more than me. She kind of reminds me of Famke Jansen in the James Bond movie. She would kill you by squeezing your torso with her legs. Oh man, what a way to go out!!! Death By Adduction!

Also, I started this related thread a while back for some goal setting - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=116065901

OI!!

Rock on! Big congrats there! You should celebrate with pictures.

Can you ladies develop a squat booty without getting in the rack? My gf is trying to develop hers, but is hesitant to go to the gym and get under the rack.

Would doing tabata sets of dumbell thrusters or bodyweight squats be good too?

And I don't have my squat booty yet but I'm working on it!

[javyn]

Why is she hesitant?

I've taken her several times to the gym, but she freaks out. She just doesn't like to be around other people while she exercises. I have a powerblock set at home, and a bench that will incline and lay flat, so we're already pretty much set up for just about everything.

But we still must go to the gym for the all important squat. I try to tell her it's no big deal, just ignore them. I go to the free gym at my apartment complex, and 90% of the people hover around the bench press. The squat rack is almost always free.

Has she ever tried listening to music while she works out? It always helps me get in my own little world when I can't hear the people around me.

Ok. Maybe on squat day you can try to figure out when the gym is the least crowded? I think bodyweight exercises are a good start, but using weights is better. I'm assuming she's using weights when she works other parts of her body - so I would just try to emphasize consistency throughout her workout for her body to get/maintain balance. Hopefully she'll get comfortable :)

[beautiizhername]

Hey ladies...been checking out the thread cause I LOVE squats! My faves are the Plie' Squats. I Loves them!!!! You ladies should try them out sometime if you havent already.

[rainy_daze]

Bumping this thread!

I want in too...I want an ass and legs like ladygaga (no lesbo)


K now...I have some squatting, lunging and deadlifting to do :D

[ftnsslvr]

After taking about 6 weeks off my squat booty is needing some more squats :) joining for the motivation and hoping to look as good as you girls.

[soopamyko]

bumpin thread!

[IronCitGrl]

I'm in! I'm gonna have the most glorious ass ever after all these squats! And do the sumo squats really work the glutes more? I already do the leg press for my quads. I feel like my booty has lifted and it's ready for take off but I really need something more to take it to the next level! :)

Reps for a fellow Pennsylvanian (originally from Philly).


It's always good to see women who think squats are a necessary evil. Keep it up!

[weejac]

can I get in too? I love squats but I'm still trying to build my shoulders up to be strong enough to squat heavier, they let me down. I want a bot that is hot!!!!!

[___Lisa___]

Ok, I'm new here, but I think I'm perfect for your Sorority -
I squat and lunge around my house 24/7! I hold my 30lb baby out infront of me and count while he giggles like crazy! I think he think's I've gone mad what with all the funny walking and flexing! LMAO!

So yeah, who's giving the towl whippings now? Is there a line?

Actually there's a towel whipping gauntlet you have to run, you can repeatedly run if you choose, but after run #3 we switch to whips and wet handed slaps.

Stay with her in the gym and keep talking to her, if you can keep her focused on you and not the people around her some of the paranoia and self consciousness will fall off, in time she'll be so used to it they wont even phase her. Please update us and let us know how she's doing with the whole gym phobia.

[NJ82SBGetFIt]

I'm new to BB.com and starting on my goals. But I love squats and lunges! A∑∑ all the way

[javyn]

The gym phobia is still strong with her, I've kinda given up on it. I did buy her a kettlebell though and she loves swinging and squatting it. I hope that's almost as good at least.

Never give up man, you can do a lot at home but you'll never be able to stock the variety of equipment a gym maintains and there is something innate in the environment that once you get her past the self consciousness will overtake her if she has a fitness crazy bone anywhere in her body. Remind her we're all equally imperfect and chasing a better body just like her.

[javyn]

Thanks Tiki. The gym I go to is the one in my apartment complex where all residents have free access. Not much there except free weights and a stair climber and cycle.

Very few women go there to work out, and the men intimidate her. She says its like stepping onto the set of the show Oz haha. I try to tell her not to worry, no one is looking at her, the people are more concerned with getting their workouts done and leaving, but still it is too much for her.

So I just have her sumo squatting with my 25 lb kettlebell. She loves doing swings, cleans and presses.

If she enjoys it now, then there is hope. Try getting her in there during the slow hours, when there are very few people there. I know when I first started going to a real gym I went late in the evenings do avoid the crowds, it made it easier to focus and I didn't have to fight over the weights.

[red.tomato]

Subscribed to this thread but only read the first and last page because its late, but I'm definitely in! I will be reading it more throughout the week. I love doing lunges and squats, and the sore feeling you get afterwards. But, my behind is far from where I want it, so A∑∑ all the way lol

[LilRed03]

[Monika33]

Im subbed!

[leahbeah]

I've always had a bubble butt but before I started lifting I had that fat/(I'm embarrassed to admit...) CELLULITE at the top of my legs under my ass... and now all my squats and stiff leg dead lifts have payed off and that fat is gone, and my butt is just as bubblicious and now firmer!!!

I'm in!
WHERE DO I GET THOSE SHORTS?!?!?!

[kdogg3270]

just saw this - thank you :)

you're most welcome. you're lucky we live far apart, or i'd be all over u :)

[Sable_Strenua]

oh hai ladies :)

Nice to see everyone is still getting gorgeous glutes with squats (and their friends DLs & Lunges) :D

[pitbullinaskirt]

Has she ever tried listening to music while she works out? It always helps me get in my own little world when I can't hear the people around me.

Substitute large with Perfect if it's with a small waist.

Large and big waist equals fat.

Lol I know how that is, I used to do the same thing with one of my old jobs, I put in a lot of off the clock overtime to keep the books straight and I felt bad bailing to go to the gym, fortunately they installed a gym on sight so that eliminated that issue. Just remember school is important but you need to balance everything.

Congrats on starting again. I know it's going to be hard to start over once you've stopped. You'll probably have to gain back the strength you had before all over again and it's going to suck. But you'll see that once you've had it before, it will gain back quicker than your initial gain. Just keep your motivation up, be patient, be CONSISTENT, and you should see results soon enough :)

[BePrecise]

This should clarify lol :p

Yea, that clarifies everything for sure and reinforces my formula: Tiny waist + nice booty = Perfect

Everybody wants a small waist to accentuate the V-taper...but it accentuates the hips much more to me. ^

Be proud, it's definitely an asset, not a liability.

yes i am well aware but on days like today when i am waiting for group members to send me their part of the project (so i can put it together) that is due tmrw at 11 and it is 10 30 at night theres not much i can do. GRRRUUHHHHH

back to my question...

ladies im dying here, i really wanna know what everyone lifts so spill it!!!!!!!!

Oh I HATE group projects! You either end up with the slackers, the overachievers (the ones that work on their park of the project constantly until the VERY last minute), or the leeches (the ones that don't do a damn thing and expect you to throw something together for them to save your grade)...

[Monika33]

consitantly doing 135 for 10

now only doing a 1 rep acclimation set then

will be doing 3 set with 135!!!

these guys are grad students and this class is tied to their research but two of the girls have differing view on how the project should be done so they just fight and redo eachothers work and its sooo difficult to figure out which way to go.

but back to the topic at hand, i havent lifted in over a week, squated in two how much u think ill loose when i get back to it on monday?

And this is yet another reason why I hate group projects. Egos take over and slow the whole thing down, people don't naturally compromise very often.


After just a week? I wouldn't expect much in the way of loss, after a month or so maybe, but after a week off I generally lift about the same.

Last time I calculated my 1RM for squats it was 240 or so, but I mainly squat 200 for reps because that's all the weights I currently own lol...I'm planning to buy some more weights soon, so that number will go up! I don't know what other stats you wanted

Wow. That's pretty impressive :) Keep pushing yourself though. (not that you need me to remind you).

I would post mine but I haven't calculated my 1RM in awhile and I'm sure it probably sucks. lol. But once I do I'll share it anyways.

not usually i make a whole bunch of food at the begining of the week nicely portioned so i can just pull it out of the fridge or freezer so that i dont end up eating junk on test days n stuff. but i do drop the cals down a bit when im not working out bc i dont need them. do you think i should just keep them high? even on the days i dont work out? hmmm

awsome! thats all i wanted really this is all about squats amirite?

basically im debating iwth my roomate as to why women dont lift more. Mostly bc i get alot of crap at my college gym for being the strongest chick. is it bc they actually physically cant or the mindset? i figured alot of the women here would have a similar mindset to mine and i would ask to see what you all lift for comparison. You are proving its the womens mindset.

No on your off days you're not burning as many kcals so it makes sense to pull back a bit, but how much are you cutting back realistically? Keep in mind your body still needs a good bit of nutrition the day after a heavy workout to repair and rebuild as well and if you're starving it the day after then you're sabotaging your own progress. It might also be a mental thing, I know when I go for a long period without hitting the gym (like right now) I walk in with a negative attitude and a sense of dread as I wait to see how far I've fallen behind.


Why? Honestly I think it really is mostly mindset. I've met a lot of very strong women in my lifetime and the biggest difference I've noticed between them and the light lifters is mental. Hell I've met quite a few women that could out squat me when I was in decent shape! And anybody that gives you crap about being a strong woman...send them to us ;)

lol im starting to think it is the mindset, but i cant imagine why anyone would want to stop themselves from doing well at something, maybe its just me.

and im positive im not starving myself, i go from just under 3k on workout days toabout 2300-2400 on off days so i think its a littl over 600 cal difference. i should prolly mention i run daily as well as lift 5x a week, and i know i prolly shouldnt work out so much, but i cant help it i love it!

I think it is mostly mental, but keep in mind running (depending on what kind of distance you do daily) also burns a lot of calories and you may want to sit down and do the math, but I'd agree it's probably mostly mental.

[hmotb555]

I'm not sure what ATG means....but I do a lot of deep squats so I guess I would say just below parallel because I feel like it really hits the booty on the way up! I think those give me the best results

damn my subconscious



and squatted today...200 for reps, i guess that's not bad for all that time off

fixt.


You can work past it, we all have mental blocks we have to work through. I'm going to hit the gym tonight for the first time in several months and honestly I'm scared, if I still can't put any real weight on my left shoulder I'm going to need to take it to the next level and throw down the money to see a specialist. On the positive side though I need to get out of the house and get active, I haven't done anything aside from watch tv and surf the web since my recent breakup...or rebreakup, or...hell idk. Point is that's my mental block and I'll be damned if I'm going to let it keep me on the couch!


Solid weight period esp for 132lbs! Nice lifts, remember strength is 10% physical and 90% mental. If you walk up to the bar thinking "I can't lift that" you probably never will.

How do you ladies squat? ATG, Parallel, or just below parallel? What got you the best results?

For best results, I do a variety of different squats, changing the stance and angles of feet. Using lighter weight, I would go past parallel. Using heavier weight I'd go to just parallel to protect the knees. Squat tempo can be either very slow or quicker to recrute different muscle fibers.

lol first in thrad

[tileigh]

Thanks! I'm definitely going to keep pushing myself...I have so much muscle but it's covered under that layer of fat lol...so I know if I keep pushing the layer of fat will diminish and more muscle will come out!!!

lol. If you keep pushing it, you're bound to see results sooner or later. Just need to be patient. Best of luck :)

Oh and ATG=Ass To Grass (you squat basically down to the ground). This hits the glutes pretty hard :)

[nmarquis84]

Did you try switching to sumo squats? My ass grew an inch from a few months of those :eek: :D

what is a sumo squat?

Excessively wide stance, toes pointed outward.

What you mean the squat photos? The girls are slacking...how've you been man?

They are supposed to be submitting photos for You, me and Harry to review. You know for entry into the sorority. The girls have been slacking.

I am alright deployed as usual. You know my usual once a year vacation to a nice warm place with sun and sand. lol

True they have been slacking, I blame a lack of intensity and a deep sense of fear...the weak don't post pictures.

That we do, the world would be a better place with more good round squat booties in it.

So, I'm back (haven't had anything interesting to post in here lately).

I was wondering, what do you guys think of the hack squat machines? Good/bad/useless?

One of my favorite machines. A great addition to a leg workout.

Personally I like to use them to mix it up little. You don't really activate the stabilizer muscles but they're still effective.

I see that squat booty is looking good there btw ;)

lol thank you tikibeast ;)

[Tikibeast]

Leg press, leg extension, hammy curl, and the glute isolator machines all hit the booty. We'll be expecting monthly picture updates ;)

I'm doing all of those! Guess I'm on the right track then :) lol. Well, except the glute isolator. I think I'll search it and see if my gym has one :)

And yes, I will post monthly pic updates for the judges to critique :)

After years of practice I like to consider it an art form.

I'm bumping this for Tiki! I promised you I would say hello in a post, so why not here.

I've always been part of the squat booty, great to see everyone! :)

My max is around 255, might be a little higher.

Not sure if we allowed to post pics, but oh well.

Congrats that is so awesome to see progress

[tileigh]

So, I FINALLY added some squats to my leg routine. I love them and it always makes me feel powerful (even doing a weak 60 lbs).

I actually had to ask a guy to help spot for me bc I could only get it about 85% over my head and onto my shoulders :( but he was really kind and I'm sure you guys would agree that he was eye candy(sorry ladies, no pics) lol.

Just thought I'd share my little bit of progress with you guys. Hope your training is going well :)

[DeTazMan]

Alright, Another thread for me to follow... Kimm, Awesome as are all you ladies
