Hi,
Would love some advice on this. I'm slightly concerned that building my glute medius up could potentially not suit my body shape. I think my hips are fairly high, and I have a bit of a 'hip dip' scenario going on.
I feel like it may just be making me look broader and almost giving me more of an appearance of 'love handles' particularly when i tense that area. When I tense I can feel that the muscle sticks out further than the width of the outside of my thighs if that makes sense and it exaggerates the hollow bit on the side of my glutes below the glute medius.
So firstly could this be the case? Or, is it a case growing my glute maximus more and it will all balance out more? I've definitely felt more growth in the upper bit of my glutes which is higher up my torso than I expected and in a way doesn't seem that flattering at the moment as it's almost making my waist look wider. I have a low body fat percentage but I do store most of my fat around my legs and hips, though there's really not much there so that could be emphasising it too if I have gained muscle but not lost weight...
I've been weight lifting twice a week with a trainer for the last 8 months, generally doing one upper body day, and one lower body day which is very glute focused. I'm an athletic 5'5", 56kg, body fat % around 17%. Athletic body type with fairly broad shoulders, pretty small waist and fairly narrow hips.
Bit of a newbie to this so any advice much appreciated! Thanks =)
