Yeah but thatā€™s ALL they ever fucking do. Single leg work.

And cable pull throughs, and glute extensions with the cable in their foot. I donā€™t see any heavy squatting done by those girls.

And I must be in the minority but I think the oversized Kardashian ass is gross. Why do women want to replicate this? Proportions! Itā€™s all about proportions!

Yes !! BUT I realized I have the hugest thighs ever like Iā€™m mean humungo. I didnā€™t notice so much before but I thought why the hell am I losing weight but my thighs are doing that painful rubbing thing now and low and behold I see my thighs are over taking my glutes so i want to fix this.
Proportions!!

My thighs are swallowing my glutes whole :fearful::fearful:

Barbell hip thrusts?

And maybe you should ask a friend for their feedback on the situation before you go all Instagram on us :smile:

We tend to be hard on ourselves.

LOL I know I think i just watched too many videos yesterday and I my inferiority complex went from dormant to monster in 3 seconds flat :laughing:. Maybe Iā€™ll try hip thrusts again but I could do 95lbs or 295lbs and my left glute would just feel numb . It was super frustrating . And I would do like 10 count pauses at the top with my eyes closed and I could not for the life of me feel it.
Jenn hulk smash !!

I used it during my hip rehab to do drop sets. It freaking hurt! Iā€™ve never felt my glutes burn like that.

oh my gosh, no, but that thing looks amazing!

You can replicate it with cables. I see women put their toe in the handle and basically do the same thing. Iā€™d prefer to use the ankle attachment so I didnā€™t have to focus on my foot not slipping.

No. I too donā€™t like it.

Iā€™m all for big butts, but they look nice paired with some strong developed legs.

That whole Kardashian butt thing you can clearly tell, the more and more you look at them, that they bought their asses. Their legs are unbelievably small compared to their legs and it mimics what a diaper on a toddler would look like.

Thereā€™s chicks I see with big legs, but they donā€™t bring up their butts or hips so they just have big legs and two puffs worth of ass.

Then thereā€™s the chicks who are more than likely heavy/frequent squatters. Everything is proportionate. Strong hamstring, tensors on both sides of the hips get targeted that fill out the hips a bit more, their backs look nice, their butt is round or strong and thick, and they have the quads to match.

Everything looks even better when their upper body has been worked on too.

Yes, I admire strong chicks on occasion lol.

The Kardashians really trigger me. Please, no longer mention them in any way, shape, or form.

Hi all.

Not sure if anyone would be interested in my daily workouts as they are somewhat ā€œgirlyā€ and slightly less ā€œt-nationyā€, but I had a realization that was highly motivational.

While I do not hate my body by any means, I also do not really love it right now. I have put so much time/effort/energy/money towards my body and strength goals that I deserve to love the shit out of it.
THEREFORE:
I am ā€œcuttingā€ or what have you. I want my body to look more feminine, and just try to be more feminine in general. Iā€™ve spent most of my life in sweat pants listening to rap music and watching die hard LOL.

I donā€™t really pre plan much, but Iā€™ve been doing some really easy glute workouts after work that are starting to feel really awesome, and am cutting down upper body work not only because I want my arms to be smaller, but I also want some of my injuries to heal IE: my elbow is the most godawful thing EVA. I have 1-2 ā€œhardcoreā€ leg days and have even added some fasted cardio workouts .
Just trying some new things is all :slight_smile:

This is me today at 130.4lbs. I think if I lost maybe 5-7 lbs I could look super de duper.
Iā€™ve cut around 350 cals a day from my diet so far , I really donā€™t think doing anything fast and extreme would be good for me as I already have a fairly unhealthy relationship with food and I donā€™t want to make it worse. Slow and steady wins the race. I want to be amaze-balls by my 32nd birthday because last year was a pretty shitty year for me, time to play catch up :wink:

So enough rambling today was a serious leg workout and it was great.

Hey Jenn long time no hear.
Iā€™ll second @2busy in that you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
Like you start the post by Iā€™m doing girly workout and then post a kick ass workout.

Youā€™re such a great person Jenn, really appreciate that I took a glance at that odd looking log name.
Keep smiling girl :slight_smile:
