Glute growth generally takes 6-8 weeks to see noticeable changes, however, some individuals may find it takes 10-12 weeks based on diet, training, and body type. When trying to grow your glutes faster, you should train them multiple times a week (2-3X) and make sure you are eating enough calories to build muscle.
Research done on the rate of muscle growth in the arms and thighs suggests that you may see anywhere between 4-6% increase in your hip circumference (which is indicative of your glutes size) from 8-12 weeks of training. This should roughly translate to an increase of 1 cm in your hip circumference every 1-2 months.
In the first few months, you can expect to see 1-2 inches of glute growth and a few more in the following years. Here are some tips you can incorporate today to grow your glutes!
There are many ways in which your body can change by doing 100 squats per day. The first and most obvious is a potentially bigger and rounder buttocks, as well as increased strength in your legs, glutes and core, and more toned definition.
Hence, consider doing a minimum of three sets of squats daily, and keep varying the number of repetitions from 8 to 15. You can also add resistance to increase the intensity by using weights or resistance bands/tubes.
You will lose weight
Combined with a balanced diet and cardio exercise, doing 50 squats a day will help you to lose weight and reshape your body. We love to combine 10,000 to 20,000 steps (for the very active!) with 50 squats a day in to our every day routine.
The Bottom Line. In general, you can easily grow your glutes around 1-2 inches with consistent workouts and good habits. Make sure to fill your diet with protein-rich foods, and up your weights every once in a while to keep challenging your muscles and getting those results.
You aren't eating enough
If you're serious about building your glutes, then you need to eat in a calorie surplus. This means eating more than you typically burn. The extra calories will be used as fuel to grow your muscles. After all, the glutes are the largest muscle in the body!
Most important of all is rest; the glutes aren't built in the gym – they're built when outside of the gym when we're resting. If we don't rest enough then the glutes will not have time to grow and progress will be compromised.
To grow your glutes, you need to isolate them with specific exercises 2-3 times a week in both low and high rep ranges. Then, over the course of 6-8 weeks, you need to consistently add more weight and volume to those exercises so that your glutes are forced to adapt.
The short answer is three times a week, but the longer answer is anywhere between 2 and 6 times a week.
Protein-rich food sources like eggs, salmon, brown rice, and quinoa help in muscle building and increase the size of glute muscles. These are rich in protein foods that go straight to your bum and add an extra layer of fat.
How often should you train the glutes for maximum results? The short answer is 2-6 times per week.
For results, consistency is queen, says Wickham. Aim to hit your glutes at least once or twice a week. (And don't only work your glutes: Doing a disproportionate amount of butt workouts can have some negative effects too.)
So the good news is, you probably don't have to worry about over training your glutes, and all the work you're doing is essential. Training every day of the week is okay, as long as you structure it so your muscles can recover.
Back Squat
No surprise here. If you want to grow your glutes, back squats should be a staple part of any lower body training program. They're a great compound movement that will not only add mass to your glutes but also help develop and strengthen your entire body by engaging your hammies, core and quads.
Reps/sets for results: If you're sticking to the body weight glute bridge, aim for three to four sets of 15 to 25 reps. If you're adding weight or elevation, opt for the lower end of the set and rep range until you build up strength.
It Can Help Alleviate Muscle Soreness
An effective way to reduce DOMS is to keep moving your body in order to promote blood flow to the muscles. As such, training your glutes two days in a row can help bring some relief to your sore muscles as long as you keep the intensity low on the second training day.
Doing 100 squats a day may seem like something only masochists would choose to do. But if you commit to doing it every day for 30 days, you may be surprised at how it can benefit your lower body strength and appearance.
“If you are eating healthy, exercising daily, then you should see some positive results in the glutes within 30 days. But if you are exercising, have added 50 squats a day but continue to unhealthy foods, then that will definitely hinder your results.” Note to self: Ditch the Doritos.
If you complete three sets of 12 reps three times a week alongside cardio, you should start to see results after two to three weeks. The 30 Day Squat Challenge is perfect for beginners. It guides you through a month of exercise plans, with a gradual increase in reps and intensity.
