Sore from squats but not seeing any change to glutes?

[FitFiddle]

I have zero reason to comment except to say my arse hurts from squats the other day and I see not benefit because it still looks flat, saggy and long unless I wear tight jeans.

Madonna had an implant and I'm thinking that is the only way to rectify this problem 😜

Ah, but are you doing the right type of squats?! Or - genetics… sorry

How often are you doing squats? Are you doing progressive overload on weight? Are you eating enough protein and calories to grow muscle?

Are you doing a range of squats? If not, add in sumo squats and front loaded squats and goblet squats. And squats alone aren't enough. A Google will help you out but lunges of all kinds, dead lifts, hip thrusts and bridges for example will also target other areas of the glutes and supporting surrounding muscles. A holistic approach looking at strength and flexibility will also help. Are you following a programme or have you taken advice from somebody?

@Thatfattrollop no idea! I'm doing a lot of variations but what is the right one?

@RoseField1 good question - just back at it, after 18 months, due to injury - protein yes, calories, probably not - in leaning phase, atm, but I have some to spare

Check out Caroline Girvan - she knows how to work out effectively with weights

@ShowOfHands doing all of these! I'm due to start with a PT later in the year. In the meantime, I'm following the 'beginner' programme from the Muscle & Strength website.

Are you using a weight for your squats?
