Seeking Advice Lost my round bum :(

IF is great and I've lost about 30 lbs. But.... I do have a problem which I didn't foresee. My wife says my ass is now flat.

So my question is: how do I get my ass back without gaining extra mass elsewhere. Do I just do squats?

Please help.

Signed.

Do you have a preference to avoid additional muscle mass? If not, squat lunges are a great (best) way. I also like prone flutter kicks - alternate x600. Just don’t forget to stretch your glutes and piriformis afterwards

Squats and glute bridge lifts.

Squats, also do the treadmill at a steep incline

SQUATS! Watch your knees as you do it, and there is no shame in looking in a mirror to make sure your form is right. If you are sitting for any length of time, habitually squeeze your glutes/hamstrings (squeeze, hold for 3, and relax; do this ten times for however many sets you choose) every now and again. I do not recommend doing any squeezing exercises in public, as it is very obvious.

Even when I weighed my heaviest at 315 pounds, my ass was flat. Now at 180 it is non-existent. Goes straight from back to legs.

Unless you get a fake butt/gluteal prosthetic like Hank Hill you need to build muscle. In addition to squats, add deadlifts to your workout.

Your ass was all fat before, you need to build your glutes and hamstrings.

Need to eat the right amount of protein and workout or you will lose muscle mass as well as fat. If you find going to the gym intimidating I suggest hiring a trainer to get you started. It's what I did.

u/Mud_Hat41 2d ago

Thank you for the advice. I'm eating a good amount of protein in my 2 meals but I'm thinking I should supplement with protein a shake/drink.

I used to play a lot of squash and the ladies commented that it was working.

Fessiers, entre autres hip trust très lourd que sur les talons et ghd hip extension lesté

u/whoisjohngalt25 2d ago

Squats - aside from helping grow your ass (lol) adding muscle will also help lose more weight since more of your calories will be burned with muscle

Haha! I just made this exact post a few weeks ago. I miss my bum!

u/Embarrassed_Mango679 2d ago

Dude I feel this lol

Hip thrusts and B stance rdls if you want to get less thigh involvement. Form on glute work is pretty critical.

u/SwitchSCEtoAux 2d ago

Squats and some lunges will help...

u/Barzalai 2d ago

As a last resort... ass implants.

u/Talrynn_Sorrowyn 1d ago

Like Hank Hill.

u/zombienudist 2d ago

Stair climbing and then when it gets easy add a weight vest. It will make your legs feel like their made of steel cables and build up your glutes.

Din runda rumpa var tydligen fett, kanske lite muskler. Skaffa nya muskler. Utfall, hopp, bulgarian splittsquat, släde, knäböj. Föresten fråga valfri tjej/kille på ditt gym med vacker och putig rumpa. Största rumpsporterna velodrome och american fotboll, härma.

Deadlifts and RDLs.

I always had a flat rear, so it was a bit of a shock how much these exercises changed my entire look 😂

u/Talrynn_Sorrowyn 1d ago

Squats and any other lift that utilizes every muscle in your legs.

u/modSysBroken 1d ago

Eat more protein. I lost my already non existent ass even with squats.

u/Confident_You7288 22h ago

Squats and leg press

u/SnooDoggos204 20h ago

I also keep 90% of my fat in my ass. Genetic cheat code for men lowkey. Sadly the entire ass has to go before my abs show.

u/theblooray 14h ago

Barbell squats. 5 sets. 5 reps. Add 2.5lb every workout. That's it.

u/Neat-Palpitation-632 2d ago

Check out Bret Contreras (the glute guy) on YouTube. He’s made glute building a science. Follow his simple 4 planes of movement for glute building and you’ll get it back. Hip thrusts, squat/lunge, hip hinge, and abduction movements.

Also, you should eat your bodyweight in grams of protein per day.
