How To Build A Better Butt By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Turbulence Training No matter if you are a guy or gal, you want exercise to help you build a better butt. I remember when I first realized how much women cared about guy's butts. I was in University, working as a trainer, and heard through the "grapevine" that one of the trainers thought I had a great butt. My first reaction was, "Huh? Girls care about guy's butts? And here I've been wasting my time on my arms and pecs". So after getting over that shock, my next thought was, "Hmm, so what am I doing right? And how can I keep this information all to myself so no other guys knows about it!" So I went through my workouts, analyzing each leg exercise for maximum "butt boosting", and came up with a list of 5 exercises that are essential to building a better butt, especially someone who wants a more athletic type of workout and body. After all, I trained "athletically", not with bulking bodybuilding type workouts. And as the trainer who designed workouts for the female basketball team, I could "see" that those workouts were building better butts for girls as well! And no, these workouts don't involve any stupid machines like the "butt blaster" or the machine that looks like it should only be found in an OB-GY clinic. The exercises are going to be working the glutes and they will all be done standing up. The first exercise is the squat, using a slightly wider than normal stance - as that allows you to push your hips back more which helps you work the back of your legs more when you squat. Push your hips back, squatting down, squeeze your glutes and come back up. Next is a split squat, one foot forward one foot back. Drop your hips straight down and then squeeze the glute and quad to come back up. Next is the reverse lunge, step back, drop hips down and squeeze glutes to come back up to the start position. Next is the step up, stand far back from the bench, and step onto the bench, drive through your heel to use the back of your leg to raise you up, come down slowly.
Last perform a Bulgarian split squat, perform a regular split squat with your back foot elevated. Drop your hips down and tighten your glutes to bring yourself back up. Do 2-3 exercises twice per week. Do 1-3 sets of 8-12 reps. Lose fat, build muscle, and you're set.

How To Lose the Last 10 Pounds Here's some of the tips we used in our plan to help the 3 brothers lose that last ten pounds of fat in the last 10 days of the transformation that helped them get featured in Men's Fitness magazine with their ripped abs. Here are the guidelines we've come up with to lose the last 10 pounds. NOTE: The brothers were only going to follow these guidelines for 10-14 days. So if you choose to use this plan, don't follow it for more than 2 weeks. That's the maximum time for this advanced plan. After that, ease up on the restrictions a bit - and enjoy your advanced fat loss physique you've attained. Advanced Nutrition Tips 1) Start your day immediately with 2 cups of water, 3 fish oil caps, and 20g of lean protein, as part of your normal breakfast. 2) Eat 1 cup of broccoli at lunch and dinner (in addition to what you normally had planned). 3) Eat only protein, almonds, and raw vegetables between meals. 4) Elimiate all pasta, rice, potatoes, and carbohydrates from a bag or a box. 5) Don't go to bed full. Eat only a small protein snack in the evening to
keep hunger at bay and to provide the body with protein before sleep. 6) Drink 6 cups of green tea per day (3 in AM, 3 after lunch) Advanced Exercise Tips 1) Add 10 seconds to each interval 2) Add in some bodyweight circuits (10-20 minutes per day) done in the morning or evening (if you do your regular workout in the AM, do your bodyweight circuits after dinner; otherwise, do the bw circuits first thing in the AM, and then do your regular workout at lunch or later in the afternoon or evening) 3) Add one set to the first superset you do in each workout. Use these strict tips for no more than 2 weeks before returning to normal exercise guidelines and carbohydrate intake. Train hard but train safe and you'll lose the last ten pounds.
