How heavy to go to build the booty?

[fitbxtch]

I would love to grow the booty some more! I've been really focusing on legs for the past 4ish months and have seen some great improvements!!
I usually train legs 3 times a week
One day I'll do heavy squats (55-60kg), for about 5 sets of 3-4 reps
Another day I'll do squats at a comfortable weight (50kg) for about 7 sets of 10-12 reps
And then on the other day I'll do light squats (40-45kg) for about 5 sets of 15 reps
I squat to about parallel/just below parallel when its comfortable for me
I did try squatting atg before, however ended up injuring myself and the physio has advise me not to go that low without proper guidance

However, I would love some insight on what the best and most effective method is with squat weights/reps and what has worked for you!
I know that squatting heavy is said to be the best
But I've seen plenty of fitness youtubers/bikini competitors squat my light weight quite often!

Thank you in advance

There's a lot of effective exercises, not just squats (though they are a great exercise). You can try adding deadlifts, or weighted hip bridges to see if it helps to do more than one exercise targeting that area.

Oh yes I should probably have mentioned that I do a variety of exercises!! I don't think I could live with just squats only

Well if you have a routine that's challenging your glutes then it's just being patient. Remember that muscle is built by being in a slight caloric surplus, with sufficient protein as well. If you're cutting/maintaining right now you won't see much actual growth. Even in a surplus women take a long time to put on muscle (~.5lb a month) since we don't have the same hormones men do.

I love hip thrusts for building the booty! Same as every exercise, go heavy (which is relative and individual), and keep progressing the weight.

Stiff legged dumbbell deadlifts and Smith machine squats as low as possible with light weight. The issue is to contract the muscle worked not to just move the weight.
Every ass exercise you should be tightening the area just as you would when a person says feel my flexed bicep.

Are you eating for growth? Are you gaining weight? You can't acquire mass without gaining.
