Quads are growing but booty isn't
Hi everyone, I am 1.60cm tall and weight about 54kg (Im a woman) and I have been going to the gym regularly for about 6 months. I go about 3-4 times, 2x lower body, 1-2x upper body and try to do progressive overload.
The problem is that my booty wont grow. I do hip thrusts, bulgarian split squats, abductors, leg press, cable kickbacks, rdls (4 of those each session). I try to squeeze my butt and I do feel it in my butt a lot, but I also feel it in my quads and hamstrings.
I thought its not noticeable but my gym partner told me today how nicely my quads have grown, even though I never target them and it makes my butt look smaller in comparison
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you guys!
