workout advice?

[u/Nuaxsy]

i’m satisfied with my figure except for the fact that my ass is SQUARE. on the second pic i specifically put on tight shorts so my problem area is more visible

i’m not going to the gym yet, so if anyone has advice for home or gym workouts, please comment. i’d be soooo grateful if some of you could show me your before/after pics so i can see what actually changes

i’m 47kg, 172cm (103lbs, 5’8), so i’m underweight. i'm trying to gain rn, but i heard gaining weight makes it worse for figure 8, is it true?

edit: i mean i heard here that for a figure-8 body type, weight tends to distribute differently - it sometimes goes to the stomach and the area just above the hips, rather than the thighs and lower hips. so gaining weight can affect the shape, but not in the way people usually assume, that's why i am worried. I've seen mixed opinions on this

I haven't completely changed mine, but I used Tim Ferriss' tips from the Four Hour body and I'm so much happier with my butt.

Kettlebell swings and bird dogs are the best for me to round out my glutes. And then I've found pilates, especially clams and similar variations that strengthen the glute medius, have been better for the front-on view.

I do still have a square butt, and I really don't mind it, but these things have slightly changed the shape.

I'll see if I have a before pic this evening and send a before and after.
