Glute Max getting 'too' big from back squats?

Is it just me, or do some of you guys think your ass is getting huge from squatting.

My dieting has come to halt so right now I am at maintenance and I feel like my ass is getting bigger.

I have gone from squatting once a week to 3 times a week on a whole body routine and people are calling me a barge ass haha.

Am I the only one?

Two things come to mind quickly so as to remedy the situation.

1. Do front squats instead, and/or

2. Pre-exhaust your quads with both leg extensions and leg curls before squatting, even front squatting.


Fadi.

Totally agree. That is exactly the remedy I was going to say.

FYI, chicks dig a good ass just as much as we do ;)

My body fat has been going down so how do you explain my ass is getting fatter?

I didn't say your arse isn't getting bigger. It will if your squatting.

I said that if your arse is too big it will be because your got some fat to lose.

Basically if your leanish don't worry about it, chicks love the squatter arse. If your fat and you squat a lot it tends to look like your trying to smuggle a couple of footballs down the back of your pants.
 
haha no ur not the only one. I have also recently stepped up my squatting frequency and have been told my ass is sticking out too much. Im not real happy about it but my quads and hammys are growing so cant complain

lol ^


Regarding how much your ass sticks out, I'm interested in others opinions about how much your posture plays a part in this.

I tend to notice that chicks with a big arch in their back have bums that seem to stick out heaps, but they aren't really that big.

Most chicks do it on purpose :p
 
Haha yeah I realise that.

I've got some pretty extreme anterior tilt going on and I think that makes my ass look a bit bigger than it actually is.
