Help, my butt is saggy

[Marius_Ursus]

I highly recommend BB hip thrusts.

Quoted for therapeutic reasons.

In a wee defense of the notion that saggy bottoms arent all that easy to either avoid or change...

With many folk the issue isnt so much the muscle although most times thats the start...the size and shape of the glute alters for some reason (being a sloth, deskbound or a human 747) and the skin then adapts. As well the deposition of fat in some can then become a factor and a factor that can be awfully hard to deal with as it often is the last place the fat will leave.

Almost anyone who for example has carried alot of weight around the belly and loses that will have THE BEST abs around but will lamost always have a sagging skin fold.

The problem for some girls and Ive seen this - is the msucle mass is worked on oimplorved and in some cased back to its oriinal dimension but the skin has sagged and having lost its elasticity - not retruned

Now yes....you could continue to try and build the mass to "fill" this in but most, if not all but a handful of women (in the main), wont go to that sort of Jaylo booty build.

Hence the sag will remain despite their efforts to rectify.

Not offered as an excuse but to add to the discussion

Aside from plastic surgery and what not, I believe the evidence is pretty straightforward that age does play a major part in this "saggy butt" phenomenon. Like I stated earlier, it has to do with your muscle tissue becoming softer. That's not a problem that can be easily fixed.

Bull$hit bro-science. Coming up on 51 soon and no saggy ass here, and no i'm not posting a pic. All I need is one of our numerous gay posters getting hold of that and my in box will be flooded

Aw come on it was just starting to get good, another 5 pages I think you could have changed a lot of minds. I do however love how your pet peeve of too much arguing is exactly what you were doing instead of posting and sharing actual research which you said was lacking.

Ha! Good smack down. Chastisement accepted.

Yeah, that's what I get for making sidebar comments without the unction to back it up with online supporting evidence. I wasn't trying to derail the thread, because we all know saggy butts are on our short list of "Things Impacting our Lives the Most". I also appreciate the absence of pics from the brothers.

[ElderJefferson]

bro-science.

I actually obtained it from watching a program about the aging process on the human body YEARS ago, but I am not about to go diving into any online research when I've already stated that exercise, proper diet, and reduction of stress has been shown to slow/reverse the aging process.

[leelameema]

Oh please - saggy butts is not age or child related - the kid grows in your uterus, not in your ass. Get your butt into a squat cage & squat. Do Romanian dead lifts - do them heavy & eat enough for muscle to grow.

"the kid grows in your uterus, not in your ass "

That was tooo funny.

[Korr]

Just for the record, when people mean squats they are talking squatting down to parallel or below. Not the deep knee bends I see 98% of the people I see in gyms do.

Some other suggestions would be:

Stiff leg dead lifts.

Feet high on the leg press with legs shoulder or wider apart, going as far down as possible. None of the partial reps I see 98% of time.

Glute ham raises.

[POrtergolf]

I dont know what has happened lol but my butt looks saggy, its horrible and I need it fixed. Ok age may have something to do with it, but its freaking me out. How do I fix this please and will I be able to. Many Thanks.

Try these exercises if you don't already.

This one you need to focus on the squeeze at the top



You can go heavy on this one. Make sure you are pushing with your heel.

[ElderJefferson]

that first video is a good argument for why it's difficult to concentrate in the gym sometimes.

Blaring bad music, guys running around not knowing what's going on, and women doing...those exercises.

Home gym ftw!

*sigh* - real SLDL & RDL's - why complicate things with silly movements?

saw lola posted again so I had to come back in, left satisfied

[Partyrocking]

Pull throughs are a good exercise- especially for people w/o a lot of lifting experience. It's an easy way to learn to hinge without putting a lot of stress on the lower back, and the skill will transfer easily to "better" exercises. It looks weird, but I don't care how I look at the gym. The goal is to look better naked- and I'm not naked at the gym.

I don't do pull throughs too much anymore- heavy kettlebell swings are a more intense lift for me, but there not a bad place to start.

I also recommend hip thrusts, reverse hypers, quadruped hip extensions. I do squats and deadlifts, but my glutes needed more direct training, and my squats and deadlifts improved after I started doing these other exercises, so a double win for me.

[MadCatLady]

Agree with SLDLs.

For glutes/hammies I do heavy SLDLs first, then goblet squats, weighted walking lunges, and finish with either barbel glute bridges or cable kickbacks. My butt has definitely improved.

SQUAT

SQUAT

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Meat and Potatoes: Squats & Deads of various sorts

Side dish of accessories: BB Hip Thrust, Lunges, Bulgarian split squats, even Cable Pull Through for variety (Nothing quite as entertaining as humping the cable in front of your gym buds!)

[ElderJefferson]

*sigh* - real SLDL & RDL's - why complicate things with silly movements?

Because it gives single guys and pervs a good pick-up line:

"Excuse me, ma'am - can I spot you on those?"

You ain't got no game.

Op - squats below parallel.

I made another thread about this but I'd add that for those of us that are quad dominant squatters box squats are a godsend. My ass didn't grow much when I ran starting strength and a 5x5 for a year with a wide low-bar squat (below parallel). Quads couldn't fit into jeans anymore though. Just started box squatting and for the first time I'm sore in the right places. Highly, highly recommend them.

Definitely would add barbell hip thrusts and maybe Romanian DL's (I don't like the back rounding on the still legged DL's). Once I added those to my workout things started improving quickly.

[Marius_Ursus]

Pull-throughs aren't silly, but I wouldn't recommend them to correct butt sag.

I'm married and have grandchildren. My game has morphed into another level...

*LOVE* Romanian deadlifts. I have a day for them

Hitting those later today. And I do not like them sam i am.

Why not? Is no one flirting/hitting on you in gym?

[ElderJefferson]

You kidding? I have a gym in my basement, and my own WIFE won't even hit on me.

Just don't like them. Guess the movement is kind of weird or something (it's like it can't make up it's mind what it is - am I a deadlift, straight leg somethingoranother, or what)

Maybe you are doing them wrong. I find them to be a very satisfying movement. Nothing get's my hams & glutes like RDLs. It feels so..... good


(yes I was kidding, but geez, your wife doesn't hit on you?)

I actually just corrected my form not too long ago, as I was previously doing them wrong (I was doing like a straightleg/RDL hybrid, at one point literally bending my knees mid-way)

(yes I was kidding, but geez, your wife doesn't hit on you?)

You kidding me? The only thing I get hit with are flying house shoes...

Grandchildren at 39, you must have started early

EDIT: not a dig, that's actually pretty cool. I didn't have my boy till 32

Long story. Let's say some kids shun their parents' advice and want to learn the hard way. I love my son, but sometimes...

I think most kids like to learn lessons the hard way some are just luckier than others.
