Pumped Glutes After Workout

These are my measurement directly before my butt building strength training workout (exercises listed in my last post).  I gained at 1/2 inch "pump" after my workout. 
So what is muscle "pump"?                    

It's that tight, full feeling you get after training muscles.  Blood is pumped to your muscles to give your cells the energy

they need to fuel your workout.  The pump is the blood and other products pooled in your muscles.  Muscle pump is a good indicator you've effectively targeted that body area and with proper diet should experience muscle growth over time.  To get that muscle growth you need to be progressively moving up with weights and doing the right exercises to target those muscles.

My Before and After Weight Loss Pictures

Although my goals today are to gain more curves, that wasn't always a problem.  I used to weigh 167 lbs and now I am between 130-133 lbs, depending on my diet.  After losing almost 40 lbs, I had lost some of the curve appeal I actually enjoyed.  If you need to loss weight, I suggest losing the excess fat before trying to gain glute mass.  It's easier to lose weight first before attempting to shape your body with weight training.
