nearly four months in the gym progress
I’m a natural apple shape (I hold my weight in my midsection, including my stomach and back, then I gain in my arms, face, THEN my legs, and nothing in my butt), and I’ve had a flat butt my entire life. I didn’t think it was possible for me to grow it or get any kind of shape, but lifting has managed to grow my lower body in ways I didn’t think possible.
Sharing for fellow apple body girls and those who’ve never had a butt.
I started the gym at about 128ish pounds in late April after a 3 year weight loss journey (to lose 40 lbs gained in covid), and I’m currently about 138 pounds on August 17. I gained more weight than I wanted to, and it was scary but this is the first time the weight has ever distributed this way, and I’m happy with it even though I intend to cut in a few months.
I don’t count/closely watch calories, only my protein intake of around 110-130g every day, and I follow my own simple workout routine I curated myself. I lift 3 days a week and I hit glutes all of those days.
Tried to get the same angles to make it as accurate as possible and these are the same pants!
Also, My glutes used to measure 37.9 and they’re now 39.2 inches. This is small progress but I think it’s good! Cheers.
