So many people missed the point of this video. She didn't say that squats don't grow booty!! She said that it grows thigh and booty, and that if you are satisfied with the size of your thighs, then you should focus on your butt more using some of these workouts!! Some of these comments!!!
Honestly I squat and I am quad dominant and almost never feel it in my glutes unless I do a stupid amount of them. Thank you for posting this video! Squats don't make booty's as much as people think!
Have you tried really focusing on your glutes to isolate and get them activated? Some of the people I've trained with didn't realize they weren't activating their glutes properly, once they figured it out could they tell a huge difference with feeling the muscle activate/ engage and then seeing growth from it.
Half these ppl commenting below obviously haven't worked out enough to know that these are glute isolated exercises... meaning they mainly target and grow the gluteus. Squats are a group working exercise so they do not mainly target the glutes.... you would have to do specific variations of squats with high weight and high reps to even see a slight difference in your glutes. These exercises work much faster with less work and are the best exercise if you don't want bulky thighs. This is good info for ppl like me who are quad dominate! I'm speaking from experience since I have tested this myself. lol
Amen to this! I've been doing mostly deadlifts and my booty is looking rounder and my thighs are slim. My husband pointed out that my butt looks different, a good different! So two sources on my butt looking different: my husband and I. :)
Lol, I most certainly do. I hate it when my thighs touch, i find it very uncomfortable. And one of the reasons i've been staying away from squats so much is because i personally don't like the results of big muscular legs. It looks great on some people, i just don't want that for myself. Hence the reason for this video :)
It also depends on other things too, like morphology and muscle memory. I've played soccer for years when i was younger, and now, 10 years later, i barely have to do anything for my thighs to explode. Which isn't what i prefer. So this video is useful for me in that way. It doesn't mean your ass and legs won't match... the only way for them to not match is if you get butt implants. Otherwise you'll still be working your legs minimally, so if you acquire a butt with working out, you won't get "stick legs with a big butt". It's quite obvious and logical.
J Bitch ....you can't get the same results by not going to the gym. It's like saying, "Hey, I wanna have a nice butt, I just don't want to put in the work"....well, it doesn't work that way. Either, create your own home gym (which doesn't cost THAT much), or join a good gym. If you're not willing to do either of those, then you're not willing to look better either apparently.
Kyle West Um, you can get the same results from home as long as you're willing to invest plenty of time and effort into it. I'm a boxer, I started of doing workouts at home before I even considered a gym and I found that most of the good changes made to my body, my butt, waist, arms, legs etc where from the workouts I done at home. Also, that whole "that's like saying you want something but aren't willing to put in the work" is a load of shit. There are many reasons as to why some people don't want to go to a gym, anxiety, insecurities etc. You can't just say they don't want to put in the work.
There are exercises that can tone your butt at home and I have personally done these, however, they take a long time to show results especially if you're only doing body weight workouts. I had ankle weights and resistance bands which were helpful as they make me tone up a lot faster than just body weight, but a gym will definitely produce faster and bigger results unless you have a lot of equipment to work with at home. To be able to build muscle you need heavy weights and put your muscle under stress and tension to create little muscle fibre tears in order for it to recover and grow bigger. That's why a gym will always be more effective. It's not impossible to do at home as I've done it for 2 years at home but I've been to the gym for only 3-4 months and my butt has grown twice as big as before.

Hęäthęr Łøúįšę if you take somebody with a flat ass that wasn't already gifted with a fat one and tell them at home workouts without weight will grow your glutes to the proportions one might want you'd be very wrong.
Get a body fat rating. The one where they clip you in different places. It might well be your body chooses to store bodyfat in your thigh region (it's the case with girls often). So your focus should rather be on reducing overal bodyfat, or stubborn fat at the thighs than to build more ass muscle.
Haha yes that is the case for me I feel that for one it is mostly one of 2 things, Either your fat goes to your Thighs and butt or it goes too your belly.
It's extremely awkward at first but I guarantee you won't care after some time in the gym. If you don't like crowded gyms, try wearing earbuds - that helps me relax. I normally do hip thrusts on the squat rack and face my torso towards the wall. Most people are curious rather than judgmental. They simply ask what exercise I'm doing, and what muscle groups it works. Hip thrusts definitely make you feel stronger because it's easy to build strength compared to other exercises.
@@brittany1484 at the end of the day, would you rather have your dream butt or back out because of a stranger you'll never see again? I would try doing some at home before going to a gym. There are even women only gyms you can find, and times of the day when it's not busy. No one is looking, and if they are, it's because your putting in work lol. Plus you can always say something instead of putting up with a look. In the end, it doesn't matter what others think if it will make you happy and when you get that dream butt, you won't care anymore 🤣
Lindalixious lol I always ask myself "how often do I look at other people in the gym?" not very much lol so other people probably aren't paying attention to me then
She’s absolutely right. I’ve been doing hip thrusts in different exercises like she is and I only use a 15 pound kettlebell at home and have gotten EXCELLENT results. I’m 40 and my a$$ is sitting higher and tighter than when I was in my 20 & 30’s. I also have very little cellulite after doing her tips for the last year and I had started to get some once I hit 35. Just letting y’all know, hip thrusting works. Tx Abby! Great post!💜💙👍🏾
m. k. Just get those thrusts in and eat a good diet and you know all the rest from the workout folks that post. The stuff really does work...intermittent fasting, eating mostly veggies, yoga and weights. I don’t go overboard with anything, I eat until I’m full, then I stop and I refuse to workout for hours. I’m a size 2...I was a 4-5 in my 30’s. Check out Dr. Berg as well, he greatly helped me when I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of the last 10pounds. Now, I know what to do if I ever get it back. I’ve got my mom watching his stuff as well and she’s dropped 15pounds in about 5 months. She was very heavy for her height and she was unhappy, so that was my way of helping her. I hope he can help you too.💙💜
in poor too. i bought a medium resistance band from a sports store for 10 dolla. Changed my life. changed my butt. Soon gotta upgrade to harder resistance tho
That first exercise looks like it would murder my lower back. I've had spinal fusion so doing any type of deadlift will not happen for me. A physical therapist taught me an exercise that makes your entire butt BURN, it's called clam shells. You keep your back flat against the wall, laying on your side, knees bent together. You lift the top leg on each side a minimum of 20 reps per side so that you make a V with your bent legs, it seriously works.
@@sirenonland3454 why do ppl gotta got raise something while simultaneously jabbing at something else. If ppl want thiccccc thighs , okay great. Ig ppl want slimmmm legs, okay great. Dont got a insult one for the other.
Okay so my legs look like chicken legs. I need some thicker thighs cause the slim, "feminine" look doesnt actually look feminine on me.....I look like a walking stick
No that depends on your morphology and muscle memory. I've played soccer for years when i was younger and trust me, now, 10 years later, i need to take these mesures because as soon as i run a few times, my legs explode.... i've had friends train with me get jealous about it, but i personally hate it.
Actually that depends on a persons body and metabolism. Im really lucky. My metabolism runs really fast so i dont pick up fat well and my body takes to muscle build/bulk really easily. I have to be careful as i dont want to bulk up as its not the look im going for. Some people just bulk up really easily.
IT TAKES SO MUCH SUPER FOCUSED DEDICATED EFFORT/WORK AND COMMITMENT OMGG!! i'm only just skimming the iceberg currently and it's like JFC time for three days of sleep. hahaha. one day, results, one day...!! :p
I really REALLY like how you highlight the functional advantages of squats, not just that they will make your legs grow/stronger. I think we need to start highlighting the more functional/lifestyle benefits of exercises over aesthetics, so thank you!
You are so right! I started lifting heavier and heavier and my thighs grew and grew...stronger yes but not the look I was going for. This was very informative, thank you!
Im a guy. But I am here to learn about training glutes more than quads, cause my quads are too big. My thought process is, women want a butt without huge legs, so I better learn from them right ? Lift like a girl ! haha
Joe Kensei man that works out usually have big thighs and small glutes .. I think we can't have big glutes without big thighs ... ( I love big thighs )
Yeah it is possible! But in this video I have no idea why she was showing the first excercices. Except the last 2 all of the others will work out your legs more than your butt so I would not recommend them at all if the goal is to get the "bubble butt" look without the big legs!
I'm over here with the opposite problem. My natural preference for the squat is very posterior-focused. I use my glutes and hamstrings way more than my quads. So my quads are neglected -- I've been trying to correct this by balancing my squat by extending my knees forward more and getting more quad engagement. I've also been putting myself through a torture chamber of leg extension exercises to develop my quads. But in the meantime, my butt has been blowing up. I think my butt is just fine as it is... I mainly want quad and hamstring volume at this point. #bigbuttproblems
Most of the girls that watch this video aren't looking to get a Kim K body (to be honest I don't know anyone that really wants a butt-to-legs ratio as messed up as her's) but just don't want very developed thighs. I want thick thighs, a toned/slightly bigger butt, and an overall nicely proportioned body, but I don't want thighs of steel. So before you guys go off and complain about women wanting an ill proportioned body, just know that's not what we want lmao
makeup and things if you want nicely proportioned whatever that is just do an all over body workout. whatever shape you gain you are supposed to be. there's no such thing as nicely proportioned it all depends on what the fashion is at the time. many years ago it was considered ugly to have a big bum and thick eyelashes for example. now that's all changed. if your body shape is a slave to fashion then god help you.
yeah, keep telling yourself that. guys say what they like and women add it to the menu. case and point push up bras, make up, twerking, pole dancing, thongs....so just because you learn to appreciate it as well doesn't negate the fact that your all about attracting the male. accept your lifes purpose.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I had a mini breakdown in the gym today because of this problem and this video just gave me the confidence to switch up my workout from now on!
Love how you organize your video content. Starting with your topics, defining them, and then going into depth. This is more helpful as opposed to many other videos that focus on entertainment. Definitely subscribing!😊
I see a lot of comments of ppl wondering why you wouldn't want your thighs to grow. I don't want them to grow because my body type is pretty slim and slender almost and I want to keep it that way tbh. Not every girl likes curvy and thick thighs which is amazing cause everybody is different right? Lol
Sokhom Bin high lean protein, low fats, moderate carbs. 4-6 meals a day of that. Protein powder is good as a substitute meal or right after your workout. Oh yeah and WATER
Carbs are you main source of energy so make sure you eat plenty of healthy carbs from fruit and veg. Protein is just a myth. You literally only need 1gram of protein per 1pound, Which is very easy when you eat plenty of HEALTHY high carb foods. I also fast alot to give my organs rest and allow them to regenerate. Eat to live not live to eat.
finally! A woman after my own heart!!!Thank you for this informative and amazing video. Finally someone who gets what I have been trying to say all these years! You get it!!!!
j vallejo some people are just really quad dominant. My thighs grow a lot easier than my butt. If I want both (which I do) I need to focus so much more on growing my butt.
If you the booty you gotta do it...I used to feel that way but the awkward movement actually works! I try to do as much as I can at home with a bench but some stuff has to get done at the gym. Loving my results!
The uglier it looks on the behind when you squeeze, the better the results. Which you rather be awkward for an hour at the gym and then regret not squeezing harder later or get to the target body you go to the gym for?
Who cares about what guys think look good, just do it for yourself and no one else. If you want slim toned thighs and a bigger butt great, if you want muscular thighs and a bigger butt great or anything else from what I mentioned great as LONG AS YOU ARE DOING IT FOR YOURSELF AND NO ONE ELSE PERIOD! Also btw great video☺.
I'm so glad you did this video. I can't really do squats because of my knees so this was exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for the great information in detail.
I have not watched the video...yet. But, the title was more than enough for me to like this video. I train and I have to teach people that squats aren't a glutes workout, they are a quads workout that also expands the glutes. I'm gonna save the video also so I can refer women clients to it. Thanks you're awesome, keep it up.
Made the horrible mistake of following other women who really pushed the squats. I have quad dominant legs, my thighs are VERY muscular, and I am a 5’0 110 lady…. Im all thigh! Hoping to pump some cardio in and lose some thigh and then go back in with some workouts that are more glute focused 🙏🏼 love this video
This might sound like a stupid question but why wouldn't you want to grow both? Kim K is really out of proportion and I don't know anyone that trains who think she looks good because her proportions are totally off
She didn't say there's something wrong with growing thighs, though. Some people want a booty & thighs (me personally) but I don't want more thighs than ass. This video was so girls won't get confused on the idea that squats will give you that certain body look. As well as there's girls already out there who have thighs and no ass wondering why they aren't seeing booty gains. This was made for them.
This might sound like a stupid question but why would you want to grow more your thighs if you already have big thighs? I have already have built thighs and glutes naturally, but some people have more build thighs than butt, so this workouts are good for those who want to balance it and make the thighs and hip porpotionated.
Personally, with heavy weighted squats I found my already quad dominant quads looked really bulky whilst my bum looked like it was being swallowed by my hamstrings, my bum looked small and manly. Abby is correct. Now I concerntrate on Glute isolation and just use the leg extension, leg press, cables & some plyometrics to help keep my quads toned whilst retaining muscle so I look in proportion & my glutes still look nice, plump and big. I don’t look like Kim k with drumstick legs, you really think you could end up looking that out of proportion? That’s surgery. More often then not if your doing some sort of resistance work on your legs outside of squats (cardio on a bike, stair master, incline treadmill etc, pin operated resistance training, resistance bands, kettle ball resistance, HIIT) your legs aren’t going to be completely flat and skinny just because you don’t opt to add squats in your workout your legs can still look great! You can do compound excercises yes, but it shouldn’t be your main focus. Glute isolation is key
Lianne so true! I trained in the gym for years and had nice glutes. I’ve since taken up pole dancing and my legs are lean and bum is as good as when I trained legs in the gym. You’re constantly using your own body weight plus wearing heels at times. Getting a good booty can come from more than just squats.
My thighs are naturally muscular and defined, and retain muscle mass very well (thanks dad for those genes). But they also bulk easily, it's like I look at a squat machine too intently and they grow lol. I bike, jog and walk/hike a lot so they're always in good shape. Glute isolation is my absolute top priority right now to simply get the proportions right.
Alissa Lilliana you need some kind of equipment (barbell, plates, heavy bands are the basics you need and they can work forever) to have OPTIMAL gains. Sure, you could potentially see a little bit of change/muscular growth doing bodyweight work exclusively, but that will generally be seen in untrained people, and when they do start consistently training, they will soon need more resistance than bodyweight.
I knew I something wasn't right when it was my thighs that are hurting and not my glutes when I do the squats! Thank you so much for this VERY informative video!
I personally love muscular thighs....Maybe just me though. I think it's really attractive for a girl. I get confused everytime a girl tells me they want a big butt but they don't want their thighs to grow (and they naturally got small thighs). That would just look weird and unnatural tbh
She is talking about muscular thighs and i personally dont like muscular thighs so thats why I'm here watching her but you are right those things are two different things anyways
Ummm...can I just call out the elephant in the room and speak the truth? The video was great, BUT (pun intended) Kim Kardashian had plastic surgery! Her buns are NOT from exercise - they are from the hands of the almighty - the almighty surgeon! Now that I have pointed that out, let me go finish my glute isolation exercises! lol...
This is fabulous!!! The amount of times I have tried to explain my trainers that I feel the wrong muscles when doing squats! Finally some isolated but-exercises - thank you LOVE IT!
SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS!! i’ve been doing squat variations and smaller things like fire hydrants and donkey kicks but it always feels off when i’m done with my workout, my glutes will feel like they did a very light workout and my thighs will be sore for a couple days! after doing these i actually feel content and like i’m doing something right :))
Thank yooooooouuuuuuuuuu Sooooooo damn much!! You have no idea how informative that was. Now I know what I have to do instead of doing stupid squats all the time
Thanks, giiiirl, I am currently changing my fitness routine for legs and booty that I’ve been doing for 2 years now! Definitely adding all of the shown exercises 😍👌
Rachel Harrison of course as I expected definitely a big change! I was doing the same booty program for almost 1 year and I stopped having very significant results, so after changing it , for sure these exercises boosted my performance!
I keep reading comments about how Abby is doing these moves for attention at the gym... ARE YOU SERIOUS!??? I am pretty sure this is one girl who actually cares about getting in shape and from what I see, could give two shits about what "embarrassing" move she is doing in front of a penis carrier! ;) People who leave comments like that, well, that just shows us how whacked your brain is for thinking something so irrational. She isn't a "selfie" freak, she is here trying to get us girls in shape!
Abby, I love your videos! When I was at the gym a couple of days ago, talking to an employee, I grew extremely frustrated with him because he absolutely did not know anything and it was clear he had no idea there's science behind exercises. It's great to find actually accurate information.
Omg! Thank you for making this video! I don't want to grow my thighs AT ALL. I would prefer to slim them. But I want to kinda work up a better booty. I don't have much of one (or at least one I'm not proud of lol) this video REALLY helped me know how to move forward!
For any muscle group between 1-3 times. If after 2x a week for example you won't feel too sore to squeeze in a 3. day you can do 3x. But if you feel any soreness still you should leave it at 1-2 times. The muscle grows only during resting days. So if you start and go intense maybe you have a muscle ache for a week. But 2 times a week should be possible pretty fast.
Whoa!!! Your before and after gives me so much hope lol GREAT JOB! I would never get butt or hip implants so this is def the way. Thanks for the info!!
I knew it wasn’t squats !!! I played sports and all we did was squats and my booty never grew !!! Then I found hip thrust and a little something started poking out
For those who are worried about people staring at the gym, source a gym where people are more interested in what they are doing, and you’ll get better results if you do what you need to do. Most gyms also have a corner space where you can work without the whole gym staring
So many people missed the point of this video. She didn't say that squats don't grow booty!! She said that it grows thigh and booty, and that if you are satisfied with the size of your thighs, then you should focus on your butt more using some of these workouts!! Some of these comments!!!

Honestly, to grow your glutes you need weight and progressive loads so you won’t achieve maximum results at home
lol same

The Kim K look is Called plastic surgery.

Get a Gym Membership if there's a gym in your city. If not get a Power Rack, Barbell, and some Plates.
If you have instagram look up king anthony fitness or the booty king. He has a gym & at home system. Results are outstanding
Now if I can get the courage to do these awkward thrusts in a crowded gym ._.
OMG you so need to just do it!! Best thing I ever did was stop caring what other people cared about me doing in the gym! #gains - go get it girl!
Lol you are RIGHT
Lindalixious omg yes lmao
Lindalixious lol I always ask myself "how often do I look at other people in the gym?" not very much lol so other people probably aren't paying attention to me then
Lol so I totally attempted this at my gym with a friend, and this girl looked directly at my female bits with an awkward/grossed out face. whatevvers
She’s absolutely right. I’ve been doing hip thrusts in different exercises like she is and I only use a 15 pound kettlebell at home and have gotten EXCELLENT results. I’m 40 and my a$$ is sitting higher and tighter than when I was in my 20 & 30’s. I also have very little cellulite after doing her tips for the last year and I had started to get some once I hit 35.
Just letting y’all know, hip thrusting works. Tx Abby! Great post!💜💙👍🏾
For real I'm 39 and my booty is flat and saggy, not a good look
m. k.
Just get those thrusts in and eat a good diet and you know all the rest from the workout folks that post.
The stuff really does work...intermittent fasting, eating mostly veggies, yoga and weights. I don’t go overboard with anything, I eat until I’m full, then I stop and I refuse to workout for hours. I’m a size 2...I was a 4-5 in my 30’s.
Check out Dr. Berg as well, he greatly helped me when I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of the last 10pounds. Now, I know what to do if I ever get it back. I’ve got my mom watching his stuff as well and she’s dropped 15pounds in about 5 months. She was very heavy for her height and she was unhappy, so that was my way of helping her.
I hope he can help you too.💙💜
Dayum get that work in Mamá 🙌🏽💪🏽

Super proud of you!!!! I have to make the joke though...hip thrusting is definitely why guys have better butts than us 😂
Are there any Booty workouts we could do at home with no equipment or maybe ankle weights ? I'm unable to go to a gym
jaylenenmaraela check out Vicky Justiz's channel!! :) she has a lot of booty home workouts!
jaylenenmaraela no. To grow the muscle u need to lift heavy - then muscle will start growing. Without added weights u wont get muscle hypertrophy.
jaylenenmaraela
why u can't go to the gym?
in poor too. i bought a medium resistance band from a sports store for 10 dolla. Changed my life. changed my butt. Soon gotta upgrade to harder resistance tho
jaylenenmaraela Try Sam Ozkural's no-gym-no-squat workout, it burns sooo much even with light ankle weights!
That first exercise looks like it would murder my lower back. I've had spinal fusion so doing any type of deadlift will not happen for me. A physical therapist taught me an exercise that makes your entire butt BURN, it's called clam shells. You keep your back flat against the wall, laying on your side, knees bent together. You lift the top leg on each side a minimum of 20 reps per side so that you make a V with your bent legs, it seriously works.
th-cam.com/video/CiqvDV8pzRk/w-d-xo.html
It hurts so much
I like clam shells, burns like crazy so I know I am working small muscle groups.
How long did it take to see growth?
How long until clamshells made a visible difference? Thanks!
I am so disappointed I didn't discover you earlier

justyna maria
shut up crybaby
Exactly, why tf did they click on the video lol. Not everyone wants big manly thighs, some of us like slim and feminine legs 😊
@@sirenonland3454 why do ppl gotta got raise something while simultaneously jabbing at something else. If ppl want thiccccc thighs , okay great. Ig ppl want slimmmm legs, okay great. Dont got a insult one for the other.
Okay so my legs look like chicken legs. I need some thicker thighs cause the slim, "feminine" look doesnt actually look feminine on me.....I look like a walking stick
sirenonland Big thighs aren’t manly 🤨
do people even know how much effort and time takes into getting "bulky"? its a lot harder than just a couple of sets of squats ugh
No that depends on your morphology and muscle memory. I've played soccer for years when i was younger and trust me, now, 10 years later, i need to take these mesures because as soon as i run a few times, my legs explode.... i've had friends train with me get jealous about it, but i personally hate it.
Same for squats... i'll do like 10 squats a day for like, 4-5 days and people will notice the difference...
Actually that depends on a persons body and metabolism. Im really lucky. My metabolism runs really fast so i dont pick up fat well and my body takes to muscle build/bulk really easily. I have to be careful as i dont want to bulk up as its not the look im going for. Some people just bulk up really easily.
IT TAKES SO MUCH SUPER FOCUSED DEDICATED EFFORT/WORK AND COMMITMENT OMGG!! i'm only just skimming the iceberg currently and it's like JFC time for three days of sleep. hahaha. one day, results, one day...!! :p
TheNonMakeupGuru metabolism is irrelevant, unless you have thyroid issues.
If glute building were a martial art I’d be the janitor
Emily Robinson MEEE
Lol, this deserves more likes!!
finally someone that agrees with me. i naturally have big muscular thighs and a small butt. so with squats my butt doesn't Keep up with my thoughts
I really REALLY like how you highlight the functional advantages of squats, not just that they will make your legs grow/stronger. I think we need to start highlighting the more functional/lifestyle benefits of exercises over aesthetics, so thank you!
This really helped cuz my thighs big as hell already
You are so right! I started lifting heavier and heavier and my thighs grew and grew...stronger yes but not the look I was going for. This was very informative, thank you!
Im a guy. But I am here to learn about training glutes more than quads, cause my quads are too big. My thought process is, women want a butt without huge legs, so I better learn from them right ?
Lift like a girl ! haha
Joe Kensei man that works out usually have big thighs and small glutes .. I think we can't have big glutes without big thighs ... ( I love big thighs )
Don't train your lower part as much as you would train the upper part.
Yeah it is possible! But in this video I have no idea why she was showing the first excercices. Except the last 2 all of the others will work out your legs more than your butt so I would not recommend them at all if the goal is to get the "bubble butt" look without the big legs!
I'm over here with the opposite problem. My natural preference for the squat is very posterior-focused. I use my glutes and hamstrings way more than my quads. So my quads are neglected -- I've been trying to correct this by balancing my squat by extending my knees forward more and getting more quad engagement. I've also been putting myself through a torture chamber of leg extension exercises to develop my quads. But in the meantime, my butt has been blowing up. I think my butt is just fine as it is... I mainly want quad and hamstring volume at this point. #bigbuttproblems
Joe Kensei Good thinking 😁
Most of the girls that watch this video aren't looking to get a Kim K body (to be honest I don't know anyone that really wants a butt-to-legs ratio as messed up as her's) but just don't want very developed thighs. I want thick thighs, a toned/slightly bigger butt, and an overall nicely proportioned body, but I don't want thighs of steel. So before you guys go off and complain about women wanting an ill proportioned body, just know that's not what we want lmao
makeup and things Kylie Jenner clearly does
makeup and things if you want nicely proportioned whatever that is just do an all over body workout. whatever shape you gain you are supposed to be. there's no such thing as nicely proportioned it all depends on what the fashion is at the time. many years ago it was considered ugly to have a big bum and thick eyelashes for example. now that's all changed. if your body shape is a slave to fashion then god help you.
All these comments with "GUYS LIKE THIGHS"
I mean, that's nice and all
But did I ask?
You want a butt? Get yoself a butt.
jusstbeinme Lol thank you. Who cares what they said. I'm exercising for me. So I can be happy when I see the mirror. That's it
Yes!
Laughing at people who think we exercise for guys. The only person I’m exercising for is myself
yeah, keep telling yourself that. guys say what they like and women add it to the menu. case and point push up bras, make up, twerking, pole dancing, thongs....so just because you learn to appreciate it as well doesn't negate the fact that your all about attracting the male. accept your lifes purpose.
ChrisTheFlake Disgusting how any human can think the way you do. I feel bad for you. I guess natural selection hasn’t taken its course entirely
Gosh I'm learning lots thanks
But having a booty without a thigh that matches the booty looks fake

Rebecca!! I love your channel so much too! 🥰🙌
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I had a mini breakdown in the gym today because of this problem and this video just gave me the confidence to switch up my workout from now on!
Love how you organize your video content. Starting with your topics, defining them, and then going into depth. This is more helpful as opposed to many other videos that focus on entertainment. Definitely subscribing!😊
I see a lot of comments of ppl wondering why you wouldn't want your thighs to grow. I don't want them to grow because my body type is pretty slim and slender almost and I want to keep it that way tbh. Not every girl likes curvy and thick thighs which is amazing cause everybody is different right? Lol
And I am not saying I dislike thick thighs, I just wouldn't like it on myself
Dida oe you need prayer.
Marie T n u need diversity
Dida oe finally someone said it. Why does everything think that everyone needs to like the same things and look all the same.
Dida oe thank youuuuuuuuu
Squats and lunges are terrible for my body. My knees and hips pop and ache from them. Thrusts for daaaayyysss!
That happens because you do it wrong. You need to get into the right position, look it up!
I second Nina. Get some help with your form. You also need to ensure you are stretching religiously. Hammys, quads, calfs, groin.
Nina Gruban not true. Some knees pop literally from everything.
Miki N yes, and I have weak knees aswell.

Can you also talk about what we need to eat for muscle growth?
Sokhom Bin protein
Sokhom Bin plant based protein powders 👍
Sokhom Bin high lean protein, low fats, moderate carbs. 4-6 meals a day of that. Protein powder is good as a substitute meal or right after your workout. Oh yeah and WATER
fruit, veg, nuts, seeds.
Carbs are you main source of energy so make sure you eat plenty of healthy carbs from fruit and veg. Protein is just a myth. You literally only need 1gram of protein per 1pound, Which is very easy when you eat plenty of HEALTHY high carb foods. I also fast alot to give my organs rest and allow them to regenerate. Eat to live not live to eat.
finally! A woman after my own heart!!!Thank you for this informative and amazing video. Finally someone who gets what I have been trying to say all these years! You get it!!!!
why would u not want big thighs tho.
j vallejo some people are just really quad dominant. My thighs grow a lot easier than my butt. If I want both (which I do) I need to focus so much more on growing my butt.
j vallejo they tend to look bad once they hugeee
j vallejo it's hard to find jeans that fit ... lol
j vallejo and people who are naturally already thick (like me) I wouldn't want to grow my thighs even more.
Leslie Real no its hard to find jeans that fit when your ass is Nicki Minaj and your legs are Ariana Grande ...
Do people really wonder to themselves “how do I get that Kim K look?”
Lol
Kejanae Collier work at a plastic surgery clinic
I am really shocked you don't feel awkward doing these at the gym hahaha
Lauren Kim especially that last one
Lauren Kim
So she wants attention.
I was thinking that, I'd be way to embarrased to do the last one at the gym haha
If you the booty you gotta do it...I used to feel that way but the awkward movement actually works! I try to do as much as I can at home with a bench but some stuff has to get done at the gym. Loving my results!
The uglier it looks on the behind when you squeeze, the better the results. Which you rather be awkward for an hour at the gym and then regret not squeezing harder later or get to the target body you go to the gym for?
Who cares about what guys think look good, just do it for yourself and no one else. If you want slim toned thighs and a bigger butt great, if you want muscular thighs and a bigger butt great or anything else from what I mentioned great as LONG AS YOU ARE DOING IT FOR YOURSELF AND NO ONE ELSE PERIOD! Also btw great video☺.
I'm so glad you did this video. I can't really do squats because of my knees so this was exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for the great information in detail.
I have not watched the video...yet. But, the title was more than enough for me to like this video. I train and I have to teach people that squats aren't a glutes workout, they are a quads workout that also expands the glutes.
I'm gonna save the video also so I can refer women clients to it.
Thanks you're awesome, keep it up.
Girl, you are by far the most informational, easy to follow vlogger I have discovered. Thanks so much for the knowledge!
I found myself saying "YESSSS" at least 50 times throughout the video. Great job explaining the different components of a great glutes workout!
it starts at 5:25 to see how it's really done
thanks
Jules cid thanks dawg
Jules cid thanks
Jules cid thank you

Thank you !!
Made the horrible mistake of following other women who really pushed the squats. I have quad dominant legs, my thighs are VERY muscular, and I am a 5’0 110 lady…. Im all thigh! Hoping to pump some cardio in and lose some thigh and then go back in with some workouts that are more glute focused 🙏🏼 love this video
This might sound like a stupid question but why wouldn't you want to grow both? Kim K is really out of proportion and I don't know anyone that trains who think she looks good because her proportions are totally off
She didn't say there's something wrong with growing thighs, though. Some people want a booty & thighs (me personally) but I don't want more thighs than ass. This video was so girls won't get confused on the idea that squats will give you that certain body look. As well as there's girls already out there who have thighs and no ass wondering why they aren't seeing booty gains. This was made for them.
Chris Broomhead Personal Training I've got already very thick thighs, and though I'd like to have muscular thighs, I'd rather not make them bigger.
It is for people like me. I have extremely large thighs and a really flat butt. my butt needs to catch up to my thighs
This might sound like a stupid question but why would you want to grow more your thighs if you already have big thighs? I have already have built thighs and glutes naturally, but some people have more build thighs than butt, so this workouts are good for those who want to balance it and make the thighs and hip porpotionated.

Personally, with heavy weighted squats I found my already quad dominant quads looked really bulky whilst my bum looked like it was being swallowed by my hamstrings, my bum looked small and manly. Abby is correct. Now I concerntrate on Glute isolation and just use the leg extension, leg press, cables & some plyometrics to help keep my quads toned whilst retaining muscle so I look in proportion & my glutes still look nice, plump and big. I don’t look like Kim k with drumstick legs, you really think you could end up looking that out of proportion? That’s surgery. More often then not if your doing some sort of resistance work on your legs outside of squats (cardio on a bike, stair master, incline treadmill etc, pin operated resistance training, resistance bands, kettle ball resistance, HIIT) your legs aren’t going to be completely flat and skinny just because you don’t opt to add squats in your workout your legs can still look great! You can do compound excercises yes, but it shouldn’t be your main focus. Glute isolation is key
Lianne so true! I trained in the gym for years and had nice glutes. I’ve since taken up pole dancing and my legs are lean and bum is as good as when I trained legs in the gym. You’re constantly using your own body weight plus wearing heels at times. Getting a good booty can come from more than just squats.
My thighs are naturally muscular and defined, and retain muscle mass very well (thanks dad for those genes). But they also bulk easily, it's like I look at a squat machine too intently and they grow lol. I bike, jog and walk/hike a lot so they're always in good shape. Glute isolation is my absolute top priority right now to simply get the proportions right.
I like how your videos are not only super informative, but also give off that "homegirl to homegirl" vibe
@5:23
Sumo dead lift
Hip thrust
Glute bridge body weight
Band hip thrust
Cable swing
+Abby Pollock can you make a video with glute exercises that can be done at home and without any equipment?
Alissa Lilliana yes please!
Alissa Lilliana you need some kind of equipment (barbell, plates, heavy bands are the basics you need and they can work forever) to have OPTIMAL gains. Sure, you could potentially see a little bit of change/muscular growth doing bodyweight work exclusively, but that will generally be seen in untrained people, and when they do start consistently training, they will soon need more resistance than bodyweight.
What's the link to the chart she mentioned?
I knew I something wasn't right when it was my thighs that are hurting and not my glutes when I do the squats! Thank you so much for this VERY informative video!
There's a difference between big thighs and muscular thighs.
Hey Leah and theres a huge difference in big thighs and cute thighs.
I personally love muscular thighs....Maybe just me though. I think it's really attractive for a girl. I get confused everytime a girl tells me they want a big butt but they don't want their thighs to grow (and they naturally got small thighs). That would just look weird and unnatural tbh
She is talking about muscular thighs and i personally dont like muscular thighs so thats why I'm here watching her but you are right those things are two different things anyways
Hey Leah right i want muscular thighs and I dont mind it getting bigger.
Muscular thighs are so nice. I always look for them in girls and compare mine to theirs 😂😂💀
Omg..7 yrs already.. I remember watching it as soon as it was published
Ummm...can I just call out the elephant in the room and speak the truth? The video was great, BUT (pun intended) Kim Kardashian had plastic surgery! Her buns are NOT from exercise - they are from the hands of the almighty - the almighty surgeon! Now that I have pointed that out, let me go finish my glute isolation exercises! lol...
*#TRUE*
Kk 'look' of small thigh big bum. Did she say anything about any work Kk put into it?
True but i think we all know her body is fake but you ain’t wrong for the reminder

SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS!! i’ve been doing squat variations and smaller things like fire hydrants and donkey kicks but it always feels off when i’m done with my workout, my glutes will feel like they did a very light workout and my thighs will be sore for a couple days! after doing these i actually feel content and like i’m doing something right :))
Thank yooooooouuuuuuuuuu Sooooooo damn much!! You have no idea how informative that was. Now I know what I have to do instead of doing stupid squats all the time

How is it coming?
Rachel Harrison of course as I expected definitely a big change! I was doing the same booty program for almost 1 year and I stopped having very significant results, so after changing it , for sure these exercises boosted my performance!
Single leg glute Bridge I feel works my hamstring more 🤷🏼♀️
I love how you explain things!
I keep reading comments about how Abby is doing these moves for attention at the gym... ARE YOU SERIOUS!??? I am pretty sure this is one girl who actually cares about getting in shape and from what I see, could give two shits about what "embarrassing" move she is doing in front of a penis carrier! ;) People who leave comments like that, well, that just shows us how whacked your brain is for thinking something so irrational. She isn't a "selfie" freak, she is here trying to get us girls in shape!
penis carrier!!! lololololololololol
Ahahahaha, I forgot writing this!!! :D Cheers!
Abby, I love your videos! When I was at the gym a couple of days ago, talking to an employee, I grew extremely frustrated with him because he absolutely did not know anything and it was clear he had no idea there's science behind exercises. It's great to find actually accurate information.
This is awesome! I have really terrible knee issues and squats kill me. Love to have glute variations to get my booty growing. Thank you!
Omg! Thank you for making this video! I don't want to grow my thighs AT ALL. I would prefer to slim them. But I want to kinda work up a better booty. I don't have much of one (or at least one I'm not proud of lol) this video REALLY helped me know how to move forward!
Holy shit, your content is awesome! Just subscribed, I will DEFINITELY be coming back to this video on my next leg day!
This explains the hundreds of women in my gym all doing these exercises
I'm going to try these too
Lol
Your lisp is literally the cutest thing
Why is Abby NOT known as the BootyQueen? She taught Me about hip thrusts years before hip thrusts was a “thing” lol
ooooohhhhh my god all y'all are so easily offended. If you dont relate to the video, don't watch it. smdh.
I did weighted squats for 3 months, my booty grew a little but my thighs became strong af, I don't even tire easily while cycling
Hi Abby, how often do you do complete booty workouts a week? And how many rest days do you take? Thanks!
For any muscle group between 1-3 times. If after 2x a week for example you won't feel too sore to squeeze in a 3. day you can do 3x. But if you feel any soreness still you should leave it at 1-2 times. The muscle grows only during resting days. So if you start and go intense maybe you have a muscle ache for a week. But 2 times a week should be possible pretty fast.
Thank you! Sorry about the creepy guy watching you workout.
Whoa!!! Your before and after gives me so much hope lol GREAT JOB! I would never get butt or hip implants so this is def the way. Thanks for the info!!
I LOVED this, you saved me. I NEVER feel squats in my glutes because i have TIGHT ham strings thank you
Apparently working out has made my booty smaller 😂 I'm reallllyyy hoping these exercises will fix that
The last one killed Me hahahahah
That last vid - that creepy guy at the counter looked liked he was getting a look on 🤦🏼♀️
Nah, I think he was just standing there
this totally makes sense, curious why 8.8K thumbs down? folks defending their squats or something?
I knew it wasn’t squats !!! I played sports and all we did was squats and my booty never grew !!! Then I found hip thrust and a little something started poking out
That last exercise was hilarious esp how the guy kept staring lol!!
Anybody watching in 2019?
So glad I found this, squats hurt my knees and I hate them! It's always the first thing people recommend!
Some people have the thighs and not enough butt so this is helpful
Getting that Kim K look? I mean you want your real butt looks like a fake butt? Seriously girls???
amen girl!!!! I love squats. but I got really huge quads from going so heavy so I had to back off and do glute isolation workouts.
For those who are worried about people staring at the gym, source a gym where people are more interested in what they are doing, and you’ll get better results if you do what you need to do. Most gyms also have a corner space where you can work without the whole gym staring
