Hi everyone,
I'm new to this board and glad I found it. I'm just starting to work out -again-, after a long absence from the gym scene since 2003.
So I spent the day today building my work out and everything and I'm looking for some ideas on some "hardcore" glute mass building exercise!!! I'm looking for the types of exercises you can do with machines only and some I can do at home. I have 5 and 8 lbs weights @ home now, but am planning on getting some more, so some advice on how much weight to get would be helpful.
I'm really flat like a board and that has been my torment from a long time, so now, I want to concentrate on building mass in that area as much as possible.
I've been doing some squats at home and lunges and I find that my knees are killing me when I do it a lot. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just my body trying to get used to it. I will also feel the pain in my knees while I'm doing the squats.....that can't be good?
Also, I wanted to ask if it's necessary that I take supplements. I work out 5 days a week (i work out 5 days a week for about 45 minutes between cardio and weights (which I only do Mon-Wed-Fri). I also clean the gym (that's how I got inspired to get back into it) for 3 hours each day, so I get a fair amount of physical exercise form that. Now this being said, I'm vegan, so I'm sure I could use some extra protein, although I don't wish to build mass all over (just the butt). My goals is to tone my body (I quickly lost 160 lbs over the past 2 years, so lots of flabs to work with here!) and get that mass going in my butt!!! So, is there any needs for supplementation. I doubt it, but, is there anything that specifically helps the glutes and abs? Are there any good ol' treehugger types of fitness supplements out there for the wholesomes like me?
Thanks all and I look forward to hearing from everyone on here and exchange ideas with the womens on here!!!
Happy New Years to everyone by the way!
To fitness and butt building !!!
