I need help to build a booty pleaseeeee

[lisamarie061]

I am currently on a cut right now 500-700 cal deficit a day. I really want a big butt and I know it involves heavier weight training. Therefore,

1) Do I start after my cut so I can eat more in order to start building?

2) What's the recommended routine and weight?

3) What are the best exercises?

Please help!

Why such a steep deficit?

You can't build in a deficit.

Best routine for a newbie is a full body routine built around the compound lifts. Squat, deadlift, bench, press, chin ups, rows, etc.

I'm trying to drop my body fat percentage down to about 20-22% before I start trying to gain muscle. I know that you need to eat enough to maintain atleast or a slight surplus to build.

My plan is to do 2 weeks light + deficit and 2 weeks heavy + enough to maintain/ slight deficit to build...

What do you think?

A 700 calorie deficit is not sustainable. At 5'2", you should probably drop to around 125 lbs before you start bulking. Just set your calories to lose 1/2 - 1 lb per week and lift a solid program. Once you diet down, you can eat slightly at surplus.

Eating 2 weeks up and 2 weeks down is kind of silly. It takes a few weeks to even figure out if you are actually in a surplus or a deficit, since there is such a huge water weight fluctuation. Just eat in your deficit of 250-500 calories per day, get on a good beginner's routine like Starting Strength, and be consistent.

Build muscle then cut, or it will take ten times longer, your body can't gain without calorie excess.
