2 years of glute workouts and I still don’t feel satisfied- advice?
I typically work my glutes 2x per week. I always start with glute focused squats 8 reps x 4 (currently hitting 90 lbs on smith machine but sometimes push for more).
I then always do hip thrusts 10 reps x 4 (100 lbs on hip thrust machine).
I then alternate doing 2 of the following: hip abductions, b-squats, 45 degree hypertension with a 25lb weight, and reverse hamstring curls. By the end I always get a great pump and I’m sore for a couple of days.
But I don’t feel like my booty looks in shape at all. I actually feel like the side of my thighs look disproportionally bigger, and I still can’t tone out the folds below my glute max.
I am 5ft, 130 lbs. Should I focus on a calorie deficit to lose fat in the area?
Also tbh I don’t really have a “leg day” I just work glutes and hamstrings but my calves and quads are really in shape I feel. But would adding a more leg focused work day help with my thigh area?
