Strong butt muscles have many benefits

Before we dive into the workout, an important and motivating spoiler in advance: a sustainable muscle build-up on the butt is not only worthwhile for visual reasons!

A firm butt is certainly a nice effect of hard training. But it's also nice that a trained butt helps you to have a healthy posture and thus also prevent knee and back problems. Strong muscles on the buttocks are therefore also an important prerequisite for training other muscle groups, especially the lower back.

In addition, by building muscle in the buttocks you also increase your basal metabolic rate, since more muscle also consumes more energy. Your body thus consumes more calories even at rest.

Are you motivated? Then get into training!

Maximus, Medius, Minimus - training the muscles of the buttocks

Your butt consists of three different muscles. You probably already know the largest gluteus maximus, but there are also two other butt muscles: The middle gluteus muscle, called the gluteus medius , and the smaller one, the gluteus minimus. Both are responsible for spreading the legs.

In order to effectively build all three butt muscles and get crisp contours, it is therefore crucial to set up a targeted and varied training plan with a variation of different exercises.

Butt muscle building: combine strength & cardio in the training plan

For the actual butt muscle building, the focus should be on a varied strength training. There are many exercises that train not only the butt, but also the legs, abdomen or hips ─ both with weights and with your own body, for muscle building without equipment. It is important that you vary your workout regularly, so that all three butt muscles have to "work".

Only the butt muscle to want to build ─ at least visually ─ quite little if the hard-won muscles are still covered by fat pads. A well-trained gluteus increases the energy metabolism and thus also contributes to the fact that your body burns more calories, but this works even more effectively with cardio training.

With regular swimming or jogging, you will notice the muscle growth on the buttocks faster, because you will get rid of excess pounds on the buttocks or hips better.

What exercises are best for the buttocks to build muscle?

The 7 best exercises to help build muscle on the butt are:

• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Lunges
• Leg presses
• Hip Thrusts
• Side Squat Walk
• Lifting the legs in the Side Plank

The number of repetitions and the respective load (e.g. weights) should be adjusted to your training condition every three to four weeks and only increased carefully. Otherwise there is a risk of overloading the knees or back.

Whether biceps or butt - muscle building also depends on nutrition

Your butt muscle building workout plan can be as well thought out as it is if you let it slide with nutrition after your workout. It's no secret that your diet affects your weight and health, but it also affects your muscles.

As you know, proteins are demonstrably involved in building and maintaining your muscles in the body.[1] So that the strenuous repetitions of deadlifts, lunges & Co. are also rewarded with crisp muscles on the butt, you should rely on a protein-rich diet.

For butt muscle building, however, healthy carbohydrates are also important in the context of the diet, after all, your thighs also need enough energy, for example, to push you off the ground when doing deadlifts. Unhealthy fats and sugar, on the other hand, should be reduced as much as possible.

Conclusion: Beautiful butt - a question of muscle building & nutrition.
