So glutes are 90% genetics right? Like have you ever seen a girl with a great ass that wasnt mostly amazing fat distribution?

More like 10% genetics, 40% muscle and 50% lifestyle.

You are right that a sexy ass on a woman is mostly her fat storage, but that doesn't mean it's genetics. Fat storage distribution is ABSOLUTELY influenced by diet and lifestyle.

Feminine fat distribution (butt/hips gynoid fat) is caused by estrogen, and women who have a healthy estrogen/progesterone balance will almost always have great fat distribution regardless of genetics.
The biggest reasons why a woman would not have this fat distrobution is not because of genetics, but rather because of unhealthy lifestyle, diet, and medical issues.
Many women completely DESTROY their horemones and fertility by drinking alcohol and taking birth control, and avoiding weight gain by extremely limiting calories rather than exercising.
College aged women will genuinely get wasted one night, take birth control every week, and completely starve themselves of nutrients in order to avoid putting on weight. Their fertility is a fucking mess.

High cortisol (stress) and insulin resistance (lack of exercise) is already enough to throw off a woman's fat distribution, but introducing alcohol is a instant throw.

People don't understand just how horrific alcohol is for hormones, especially women.
When a woman is drunk or buzzed, their liver is flushing the toxin out of their bloodstream as fast as it can, and it'll neglect processing everything else, meaning old/bad estrogen stays in the bloodstream and additional calories go STRAIGHT to belly fat!
Even if a sexy girl with great fat stores starts drinking alchohol, she is completely fucking herself over for the future.
Leftover estrogen that doesn't get flushed out will lead to painful periods, which women medicate with birth control pills, which destroy hormones EVEN FURTHER.
It doesn't matter if she stays skinny as a rail, her horemones are fucked, and the minute she starts putting on weight with age, she'll look awful.

The patriarchy has ruined women.

Plappers r gross. Muscular asses are way better as long as the fat content isn't freakishly low.

All lifting is mostly genetics and timing. Even with subpar genetics you can usually build well in your peak igf-1, hgh, and testosterone years.

>>77231187
I wouldnt say 90% .... but it's definitely important. I'd probably say 50/50

Everyone itt is wrong. Most of what determines ass shape is the pelvis and thigh bone position. People with naturally aesthetic buttocks have the bone structure for it and it has little to do with fat or muscle.
>>
>>77231267
I like your post and want to say its true, but its not.

Yes, a lot of our choices will influence our hormones, which will then affect gene expression. But its still expression of the genes. Some bodies - even when healthy - just dont put a lot of fat into the ass, hips and thighs. And if a woman doesnt have the genes to "build the muscle" the ass wont grow muscle, either.

Is this a monority of flat asses? Healthy, but with poor genetics for fat storage and poor genetics for muscle building? Maybe. But its signifcant. And if you have either, its going to make it really, really tough to build a dumpy.

My ass is the only body part that got me positive comments from women and I never ever trained it
>>

Im guessing this is correct, ive done very little research on it, but it seems like posture is more important than what most people give it credit for.
There definitely is some genetic variance about how asses look, but i would guess that the ass variance is actually caused in a large part by the posture variance.
In other words, I would diagnose and optimize posture before going the "ive got bad genetics wah wah" route.
>>
>>77231187
No. Most girls have flat asses but they wear yogapants and booty shorts that literally lift up their asses.

Huge. I know a woman with unfortunate upper back kyphosis (rounding) and it has all but shut off her glutes. Shes is otherwise lean and reasonably healthy and muscular - she looks good - and she has grown her quads, hams and calfs over the years - but she genetically carries little to no ass fat and although she squats and deadlifts quite heavy for a woman her size, she has no ass. Her kyphotic posture has definitely "turned off" neurological contact with the glute muscles. Unfortunatly, the upper back rounding is boney and she cant just "stand up straight" or anything - its baked into the cake, so to speak. Or no cake. :)

Probably 80/20. You can do "something" in the gym but truth being told if you have a great ass you'd have one regardless of ever stepping into a gym.

Every day i see gym regular girls doing RDLs, squats, hip bridges with crazy weights and full ROM but with the flattest asses.
>>
I've been training glutes for 3 months and have not noticed actual growth, my stupidly big chest and shoulders shadow my ass like it doesn't exist.
>>
>>77232525
Facts, that and arms are the only thing girls I've been with can't keep their hands off
>>
>>77231267
bullshit, 99% of women aged 15-30 frequently get drunk multiple times a week while partying, using birth control to carelessly fuck with chads and overall maintaining an extremely unhealthy lifestyle and yet most of them have nice asses and boobies
>>
>>77232869
That number is far less than you think. There is a definite genre of college aged women out there who get plastered every night but still maintain a nice figure, but that's because they're litterally under 25 and have only been living this way for a few years at most.
You know just as well as I do how hard those women hit the wall. Sometimes they hit it early, sometimes they diet and exercise to prolong it, but they always hit the wall when they drink.

I'm not disputing that there are genes out there that don't favor a lot of fat storage in the ass/hips/thighs, but you are misunderstanding what that means.

Healthy estrogen (in both men and women) triggers fat storage to be SUBCUTANEOUS, meaning that it is stored directly under the skin but away from the vital organs. This fat is fully healthy for a woman to have in endocrinology.
VISCERAL FAT is NOT healthy. This is the fat that alcohol causes (beer belly) it feels harder and less jiggly because it surrounds the organs and destroys you over time. I explained earlier why alcohol does this.

YOU ARE CORRECT that sometimes women do not store SUBCUTANEOUS fat in the hip/ass/thighs only. Some store it more evenly all over, while others purely attack the thighs before anywhere else, and so on. Some hot chicks have big butts and wide hips but flat chests, while other's have big breasts and arm fat but a mild booty.
This is the genetic element you speak of.
YOU ARE NOT CORRECT that genetics cause a healthy woman to store high VISCERAL fat. That is nonsense. Regardless of whatever amount you genetically need as essential visceral fat, anything significantly more than that is ALWAYS unhealthy and ALWAYS is stored in the belly (where the organs are). Nobody's genes cause their bodies to make visceral fat for zero reason unless they have some sort of defect.

The muscle thing is also true but irrelevant. Any healthy woman can build muscles with enough time, it just takes time for some more than others.
