Id like you to have an ass like that too ;D

If you don't mind me asking; had you always had big booty or did you develop it through working out?
See, I don't have a flat ass it's just not like the ones in the pics. I have decent hips and some cuffability; bottom line I want a small waist and a fat ass.
I have done squats, kickbacks and deadlifts but my thighs are getting tighter. I love that, but my legs have always been easy because I dance. I am predominately black with other ethnicities thrown in for good measure, I lack the junk in the trunk.
Have any advice other than eating a bunch of junk food and becoming a lazy bum?

Part of it is genetics Mimi. If you were born with a flat ass, you might be able to give it a little umph, but it would never be "bootylicious" like those girls. :-\ Sorry.

Are we wanting to see pics of just my ASS or the whole package?
I will be honest; I don't look anything like the Avatar that you see. This body has endured 4 children and 31 years. Although to get the full benefit of everyone's "Constructive Criticism", I plan to have my husband take some (not too embarrassing) photos of me, from different angles.
I an very serious about changing my body shape, so people be kind when I do post the pics.

I just want to warn you. This board can be very harsh. But i reckon if you post your pics in this subforum i guess you'll be safe.
I'm sure that some of the girls here will be able to give you excellent advice though.

Mimi, I'm 43 (in december) and have had all my children via c-section. I ballooned up and busted my ass to come back down. That IS me in my avatar (there are also larger pix of me in the pictures of members and more thread). ;) Believe me...if I can do it, so can you. You gotta have faith, a good diet, exercise and a great support system. I am most fortunate to have all those.

Mimi - please keep in mind that this board and this board only is strictly moderated as requested by the owner of this site. That being said, anyone (including "guests") can access and view this board.
Once you post a picture it can be taken to another board and "analyzed" to whatever extent the poster would like. Anything you post can be brought up time and time again, commented upon, scrutinized, photoshopped, etc.
Unless you have a very thick skin or are in contest shape, I would discourage you from openly posting pics.
Meanwhile, if you would like a few people from this site to critique your physique, I suggest you lurk about and decide whom you think you can trust before PMing them your pics.
That all being said, there are several people on this site that are quite knowledgable. I hope this site can be helpful to you! :)

LOL LOL LOL, I'm right behind you girl, I'm 38 and the rump is still holding up but if I didn't compete I wold not squat, lunge etc. with the intensity that I do, I'd be shopping at the mall having a double shot mocha frap with whipped cream!!!!!!!!
-
Deep squats with a barbell (not the Smith machine), shoulder width or wider stance, with moderately heavy to heavy weight on the bar.
Walking lunges with a barbell on your back. Use your glutes to lift you up and out of the lunge position.
Short distance sprints. (20's, 40's, 60's, 80's, 100's)
Deep leg press with very heavy weight.
Reverse lunges on the Smith machine.
One-legged dumbbell squats (back leg is propped up on a bench, and you must hit a 90 degree angle or deeper with the squatting leg).
High incline treadmill cardio sessions.
Plyometrics.
Proper nutrition.
Belief in your ass. ;D J/K! Actually, I do have a little mantra that if you believe it, you can achieve it.
I also have a feeling that those two pictures above were heavily airbrushed to erase the evidence of cellulite.

I have been teased all of my life for one thing or another; I just say F**K It!! I want to take this seriously, so if someone wants to crack jokes then so be it.
I am posting the pics that I had my husband take this morning, I also weighed and measured myself.
Here are my stats:
Age: 31
Height: 5 ft.
Weight: 137 lbs.
Bust: 36D
Waist: 31.2"
Hips: 41.5"
Thighs: 24.0" each leg
Ethnicity: Black, Italian, Native American
Routine: I currently drink Nox-Plode in the morning to get me started. I will also take Lipo-6 (Fat Burner) or Redline (Fat Burner), DHEA, Tribulus & Omega 3-6-9 capsules. I will dance as my form of cardio for about 25-30 mins. I use 25 lbs. & 35 lbs. dumbells; I use them to do Sumo Squats, Step-Ups & Stiff-Legged Deadlifts. I can do 2-3 sets of 20, I also do Kickbacks, Flutterkicks & Bridges (3 sets of 10). I do sit-ups & crunches (3 sets of 20). My workout can take anywhere from 1-2 hours (3-4 times a week) give or take. After I workout I will make a Muscle Milk Protein shake, I will drink Cell Mass, I will take a teaspoon of BCAA Powder, I will drink Glutamine mixed in Orange Juice and then I drink my shake. I don't drink as much water as I should, when I do drink water it is distilled water. I have a bad habit of drinking Soda & Coffee, and periodically Alcohol. I still eat junk food, but not a lot; my problem is sometimes I won't eat at all. I try to stop eating by 7pm. I love fruit & veggies, I can eat fruit all day long.
Well, that is an overview of my morning habits; I am ready for "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" critiques.
Thanks,
Mimi6

Girrrrrrrrrrrrl, you already got the booty thing going on. :D It looks (althought it's hard to totally tell because it's totally covered) nice, high, defined and firm. Once you bring in your tummy and thighs...you are gonna ROCK!!!!!!!! Hell I with my butt looked like that, well I guess in this pic it kinda does. roflmao
I do however have one HUGE suggestion. DUMP the MuscleMilk. It's not made for someone (women especially) looking to drop weight. Look at the label sweetie. I also here from a FABULOUS source and VERY good friend that Lipo-6 is good stuff. I use something different Tetrazene ES-50 from ProSource (they are providing me that for an ad) and I have had great results. Also, you have to be more strict with your diet, cleaner foods, less sugar (soda, junk, alcohol...omg STELLA did I just say that??) and you HAVE to eat. It is more harmful for you body for you to NOT eat. Your body thinks you are starving it and will feed off muscle tissue over fatty tissue (it likes to store the fatty tissue as a reserve) which is why when you see someone who is anorexic they may be skinny, but they have no muscle tone and still maintain jiggly tissue.
Ok, I'm done ranting I guess. :) for now.

I can tell by your body composition that you workout but that your diet isn't a clean as it needs to be, at least to be where you want.
If you are going to run thermogenics, you need to cycle them or your body will build a tolerance which negates their effect.
Up your protein (Soy + Whey), cut out the soda and alcohol.
Limit your simple sugars, even the fruit, except for post workout meals.
A two hour workout is counterproductive, IMO.
Try to limit the lifting and plyometrics to one hour total, then thirty to fory five minutes afteward of incline treadmill or eliptical for cardio.
For fat burning we want something medium intensity, rather than high impact.
It might also be time to change up your lifting routine.
For my female clients I'll have one routine that deals with resistance training and another alternate workout that applies plyometrics and isometrics.
That way they get a totally different stimulus the next time we work the muscle group.

Okay, you definitely have the capacity and genetics to make that butt very round and firm. Before I began working out, I had a ghetto booty. In seventh grade, I weighed only 95 pounds but was nicknamed "Titanic Butt." That should tell you how big my butt was compared to the rest of me. I think you can often tell where you will put on muscle the quickest and easiest if you just look at the general shape of the muscle group area and then imagine filling it out with muscle. And then, of course, put the work in and actually create the muscle.
Treat your body like a piece of art...a sculpture. You have total control. You hold the tools in your hand.
I would take glutamine with water or directly in your shake. Cut the juice out. You're better off with a piece of fruit directly after or just before a workout than you are with a glass of juice. Unless you stick to only two ounces, you are taking in a lot of sugar. It may be "nature's sugar," but it will still turn to fat if you don't use it for energy.
Why are you taking Cell Mass? Just curious.
Cytosport has several lower fat options than Muscle Milk. Michelle Bell can tell you more about these products. I believe they have come out with a line that is geared towards women. In my eyes, Muscle Milk is a product that bodybuilders will use in the off season, especially if they are hardgainers. It's just so high in fat, and many women don't respond well to it and instead store it.
Are you eating every three hours? Do you schedule your junk treats/meals? Try that for a few weeks and see if you can create that habit. It helps a ton because your mind knows that you will get to eat that sundae or cookies or whatever on Friday night, so you can last until then.
In looking at your workout, you just aren't training with enough weights or with enough volume. To relegate yourself to two sets of anything won't cut it...unless you are using very heavy weights on those last two sets and you had to build up to that point.
Sumo squats are going to help with the glute to hamstring tie ins. But they won't really help to lift and round out the butt. You have to do regular squatting technique, feet shoulder width apart (a little more or little less depending upon what's comfortable for you), toes pointed out by no more than five to ten degrees, and then you squat to a 90-degree angle or slightly more (I do more). Make sure you are really pushing those hips back and sitting into the squat (act like you are about to sit down on a toilet). Then push up through your glutes and quads and squeeze your buttocks at the top of the exercise.
I would stick to reps of 12 to 15. Try supersetting. Do leg extensions and squats. Or squats and leg press for a really challenging set. Leg press and straight leg deadlifts. Try a wide, wide, wide stance with the straight leg deadlifts.
There are so many things you can do to firm up that booty. Diet and workouts go hand in hand. Dedication to your goals will make it happen.
-
While I agree with much of what Division has said, I'm not a fan of soy protein. I believe there are other and better sources out there.
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Lean red meat
Any type of fish (though salmon and sea bass should be used as fat sources as well as portein sources)
Tuna
Egg whites
A good whey isolate protein product to drink directly after a workout or cardio session
The more natural your foods are, the better results you will get. Girls are lucky, especially smaller ones, because we don't have to take in the high numbers of protein grams that the really big guys do. So we can easily get all of our protein intake from real food and rely on protein powders only for a very quick protein synthesis.
-
...and there you have it Mimi from the best butt in the business. Listen to what Jodi says ;)
You'll get there!
-
Doesnt look that bad. Your ass is above average, i think. Plus you got large breasts going for you in the curves department. I wouldn't stress too much about that, just keep working it and you'll see progress.
Try to get your weight down. You'll look 3 times better, something like cheri is def. attainable and could be a good model for you.
Did you do your homework on nutrition? Too much fruit is NOT a good thing. Lots of sugar in it (fructose -> turns into fat easily). It seems you're motivated, remember that nutrition is even more important than exercise.
Edit: Valid points by Div and Jodi
Edit 2: Maybe she shouldn't cut out all the simple sugars, but use dextrose (instead of the fructose) after her workout for an insulin kick? From what i've read this is very effective, but most people in the bb industry seem to focus more on protein after a workout.
-
I don't think she should necessarily cut out all simple sugars. They do have a purpose. But take them in directly after a workout or cardio session. I found that a tablespoon of honey in oatmeal after my morning cardio was very helpful. Strawberries or a Granny Smith apple can work as well.
-
Well, I am pleasantly surprised by all of the feedback. I greatly appreciate the advice; I guess my husband has been right all along ( I am my own worst critic).
Once you bring in your tummy and thighs...you are gonna ROCK!!!!!!!!
How can I get rid of the belly fat & thigh jiggle?

Jodi, I love the motivational mantra. I have visited your site and I think you look AWESOME. To answer the question about the Cell Mass, I take it Post-workout to maintain muscle size. I try to maintain a 3 hour eating schedule ( Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner & treat), but I have not been consistent; I have been trying to figure out what foods my body responds to best. I have to develop more discipline.
I plan to start incorporating your suggestions, I also printed off the routine from your website. I plan to pick up the Oxygen Mag. My husband has a bunch of the Muscle & Fitness Mags around the house.

Good luck Mimi! Attitude is a big part of everything and you seem to have a great one.
The kind of assessment you're asking for, really requires a lot of time and you've already gotten excellent advice. It doesn't seem as though you work out hard enough to warrent some of the supplements you're taking. (See Cheri's post). Def cut down on the fruit (and especially eliminate the orange juice) and soda, alcohol. Drink more water. Looks like you now have some great advice on exercises too from Jodi.
I'll just add my quick 2 cents. I can see from the side view pic that your posture isn't helping your body shape and will probably lead to lower back probs in the future. Look at how you hyperextend your knees. I would be willing to bet that a lot of the stress meant for some of the larger muscle groups you're trying to work, especially glutes, is being absorbed by your lower back and so your workouts are less than efficient. Doesn't sound like much, but can make a huge difference. Try standing in front of a full length mirror, side view... shoulders back, chest out, hips tucked forward, knees unlocked. That should be a natural, relaxed stance. Maybe try to keep that in mind when you exercise. (You'll also see that your stomach/abs will instantly look better.)
-
That brings up an excellent point, DeeDee. A lot of people don't work out all of their muscle groups evenly. You want to think symmetry and balance. So while, Mimi, your goal is to build the perfect behind, you have to also remain cognizant of the rest of your physique and making everything flow.
Don't forget to work your shoulders, your back, your chest, arms, and traps so that they all fit together with your glutes, hammies, and quads. And don't forget those calves either, which put a finishing touch on the legs.
When you do your squats, be sure your knees don't bend in, and never lockout on leg exercises. You can injure your knee joint, but you also take away the tension from the muscle upon which you wish to focus. Keep this in mind for leg press, squats, and hack squats especially.
I also wonder why girls take so many supplements...like a whole army's worth of them? I'm noticing this a lot lately. Who recommends this? I'm trying to think back to when I began lifting. I may have used protein powder while powerlifting, and I know I tried creatine but didn't see any significant results (tried it once again while doing figure and still didn't notice any true differences), but I really believe that when building a foundation, you should just pick one to three sources that you really believe are best for your regimen and then get down and dirty in the gym and the kitchen. There just aren't any substitutes for work ethic and good, real food.
That being said, I think you should hold onto your BCAA's, glutamine, and protein powder for a quick source of protein and scrap the rest. And don't forget your vitamins.

Deedee, does having a Swayed Back have anything to do with it? My doctor told me years ago that the fact that my back is swayed was a good thing because I would never suffer from Scoliosis.

Ultimately my plan is to define the whole body; I guess I have become obsessed about the butt. I do have a questions though; is cardio the only recommendation for reducing body fat and how can we as women combat cellulite?

It is possible to make your ASS bigger & rounder by exercising?
I want an ASS like this:
Mimi6, Ki Toy(my fantasy woman) and Vida, were born with ass. That being said, Ki Toy keeps hers in shape, she does work out, go to her website, she probably has the exercises she does>
But, its kinda like TA trying to become Flex Wheeler, no matter how you try, it was in Flex's genetics to have round, full, muscle bellies

So we can easily get all of our protein intake from real food and rely on protein powders only for a very quick protein synthesis.
For women, I recommend Soy due to it's estrogenic properties as well as whey for protein supplementation.
Lean protein sources like turkey, chicken, fish are always preferred for the staple of her diet, but overall she needs a higher protein threshold to counteract the resistance training and additional cardio.
Her workout needs an overhaul as I said.
The women I train all do resistance training to varying levels, but the rep and set schemes are very consistent. 3-4 sets per exercise in the 12-15 rep range and additional supersets and burnouts as necessary.
Most of my women are middle-aged housewives needing base level strength and stability while wanting fat loss.
I'm strict with them, esp on form and effort, but they do see results.
Simple sugars should be limited to post-workout meals with the majority of carbs being complex and spaced out.
The key is to increase metabolism with smaller meals while taking in enough nutrients to support anabolism.

Deedee, does having a Swayed Back have anything to do with it? My doctor told me years ago that the fact that my back is swayed was a good thing because I would never suffer from Scoliosis.

I don't think your doctor gave you the absolute best advice, and yes, I was referring to that. When you exercise, be sure to follow Jodi's advice in the post above yours...
When you do your squats, be sure your knees don't bend in, and never lockout on leg exercises. You can injure your knee joint, but you also take away the tension from the muscle upon which you wish to focus. Keep this in mind for leg press, squats, and hack squats especially.
And of course, she's right about balance, etc. You might want to add some stretching to your routine so that your lower back muscles don't shorten. And then there's the chair... stand against a wall with feet out in front of you, far enough so that when you slide down the wall, your legs are at a perfect 45 degree angle... almost like doing a free squat except the wall supports your back. I'm sure you'll find a space between your lower back and the wall. Try to tck your hips under and push your lower back as close to the wall as possible... and hold that position as long as possible. Of course, nobody has a perfect wood board posture, but you might become more aware of it, and it will only help focus your energy on the muscles you're trying to train. :)

If you don't mind me asking; had you always had big booty or did you develop it through working out?
See, I don't have a flat ass it's just not like the ones in the pics. I have decent hips and some cuffability; bottom line I want a small waist and a fat ass.
I have done squats, kickbacks and deadlifts but my thighs are getting tighter. I love that, but my legs have always been easy because I dance. I am predominately black with other ethnicities thrown in for good measure, I lack the junk in the trunk.
Have any advice other than eating a bunch of junk food and becoming a lazy bum?
Mimi6
squats will do it...wear a belt so most of the stabilizing is done by the belt and not your waist muscles..
...and dont just do 4 sets and move on
4 sets..shoulder width
4 sets ..wide stance
4 sets..pause squats..where ya pause in the parallel position..
give it 1 yr...

Stella, thanks for the additional inspiration. I am trying to be realistic; between so many of the figure models that I have seen on this forum, I have a desire to look as good. I am just wondering about how long did it take for different ones like Jodi, Laura & Dina. I love the strength, shape & tone of their bodies.
Deedee, thank you for the additional clarification and I will implement your suggestions.

Although we all have different structures, realistically, you CAN get that lean (if I could do it, anyone can).
Most of the time the pictures you see are of these girls in or near contest shape.
I have done ONE show for which I dieted 10 weeks. My husband didn't care for how lean I was after about the 7th week, but you can't live your life in contest shape anyway.
I have a friend who used to compete a lot. She would bulk up after her show and diet sometimes for 16 weeks to get to contest shape.
Jodi would be a good person to be able to give you a ball park time frame on you leaning out to near contest shape (if that is your goal). :)
Also Mimi, I suggest you subscribe to Oxygen Magazine (if you don't already) for additional motivation and information. I think I read almost all of my back issues that I had during my diet!

Stella, thanks again; Jodi & I are in the same height range so I kind of adopted her as my muse. I have been reading her website. I have been trying to find more women with my height and who had started out around my size, kind of works better when you have people who can relate to your situation.
My husband is 6'5" & 196 lbs., he can not relate; although he is terribly supportive & sweet. :-\

No, it's Val Waugaman.

Val did make a terrific transformation!
I never had a weight problem, and I haven't had children. I am 34 years old (young?), and I've been lifting weights since I was 18. Prior to that point, I didn't lift a finger except to turn the page of a novel or a school book. I weighed in the low nineties until I began lifting with free weights and preparing for a powerlifting meet. I always had the curvature to my stomach that I have now and thicker thighs and a very thick butt (genetics on both sides of the family). But my arms, shoulders, and back were tiny. I'm very small boned. The pictures are deceiving because you think I'm bigger and taller than what I actually am. Everyone--when they meet me--always exclaims, "You're soooo tiny!!"
It is only this past year that I have begun to create balance between my upper body and my lower body.
I am a 100% lifetime natural competitor, so what I tell you about the changes to my physique have occurred due to an extreme, Type A work ethic in the gym and with nutrition. If my trainer says, "Don't cheat," I don't cheat. Period. If the food isn't listed on my diet, then it doesn't go in my mouth. When gum is taken away from me, I even listen to that. I have the willpower of ... of ... of ... I don't know. I have willpower made of steel when it comes to this industry. I'm a very stubborn person and when I get my sights set on a goal that I truly want, I make it happen.
In my members' section, I post weekly progress pictures so that people can see how my body transforms from January 1st to the day of competition. There is definitely a difference. I want to be honest about what a competitor's normal, healthy off season body will look like as opposed to the depleted stage presence that is normally photographed. It makes it easier for women to understand and accept their own bodies.
I personally have gotten ready for a show in six weeks. I've done it in eight. And I've done it in twelve. I prefer something between ten and twelve because my face doesn't appear so gaunt, and the cardio length per day isn't as high for as long. But I also rarely allow myself to go past the ten to twelve pound weight gain in the off season. The one off season that I did get a little crazy, I hated it and found I had utmost problems losing the last bit of fat and water.
If you are truly interested in competing, I would suggest cleaning things up now. Don't go cold turkey, but start putting yourself on a regimented schedule and plan out your cheat meals. Stick to the plan. Do not deviate. Give yourself a day off here and there for the holidays, but as of January 1st, hit it hard. Ease into a competition prep schedule at the 16 week mark and then tighten up at the 14 week mark. By the 12 week mark, you will be on a much stricter plan and cutting out the cheat meals totally depending upon how lean you want to get and how your body reacts to various foods.
The eight week mark is the do or die point.
The four week mark is the no return.
And you should be ready to step on stage--minus water droppage and a little refinement--by the two week mark.
Of course, it all depends upon what look you want for your body and what type of competition and federation you would choose.
I do have some off season photos in the public gallery of my website. PM me, and I'll direct you to them. And feel free to ask questions. I didn't get to this point without help from other girls in this industry, so I feel it's only fair that I return the favor to current up-and-comers.

I've been working at it for almost 2 years, but have really just recently started working towards a contest goal. I have a fat pic on mike's website, lol. I was 165lbs at 5'4".

Laura, I like the way your body is shaped up. You are a little taller than me, but I like the definition you have even though you are still working towards the competitors physique.
Jodi, you have given me sooo much great advice that I need to print it off so I can begin to apply it. My husband & I plan to invest in a Smith Machine for our house, we have some equipment now and some free weights but are ready to get more serious.
Anytime anyone wants to give more training and nutrition advice, I am open to all that I can get. This has been overwhelming motivating.
Thanks & keep it coming :)

Why, Thank You. I don't think so, or should I say; it is not what I want it to be. I have cellulite that you can not see in the pic. It's not as firm or round as I want it.
But, in all truthfullness that is not all I am looking for; I want to sculpt the whole body. I have always loved my legs, with the exception of the fact that they are beginning to rub together. I want to be toned and sculpted but not overly ripped. I am not sure yet if I want to compete. I like a more curvaceous definition.
