The Fitness Exercise for Your Buttocks: the Sumo Squat
98The Sumo Squat is the best exercise for your buttocks. Also called Sumo Deadlift or Plie Squat there is no better fitness exercise for your gluteus, inner and outer thighs than the Sumo Squat, and it works extremely well all the other muscles in your leg. Plus, as a bonus, it doesn't put too much stress on your lower back. That's why the Sumo Squat is The Fitness Exercise to have buttocks as hard as a rock.
For a great buttocks workout the Sumo Squat is the best exercise to do, and beside being good for women it is obviously pretty useful also for men, as women too like beautiful, well-trained butts.
This exercise fits perfectly in my Weight Training in Five Minutes a Day article, just substitute the Squat with the Sumo Squat and you'll see the benefit for your buttocks. The movies below are meant to give a general idea about the Sumo Squat, yet they are not as perfect and safe as they should be, so be sure to read at least my instructions before using this wonderful exercise.
As usual check with your doctor first and consider buying Stuart McRobert's Exercise Guide before beginning to do Weight Training. For me it's the best book on the market for learning the best exercises.

Sumo Squat: The Greatest Fitness Exercise Explained
If you want to safely use the Sumo Squat follow these simple instructions and you'll have no problems in using this wonderful fitness exercise.
- Get used to the common Squat, which is already working your buttocks and legs, for at least a couple of months, then add once a week the Sumo Squat. This is usually what I do alternating the two during the week.
- Start with small weights, don't rush and remember that you must have total control over your movements at any given moment.
- Going down you should stop when your thighs are more or less parallel to the ground, going up stop a little bit before having your legs completely straight.
- Try to maintain your back as straight as possible.
- Breath in when going down and breath out when going up.
- Begin with your feet at around 45° and your heels slightly larger than your shoulders and try to find the right position for you. Mine is around twice my shoulder, but I'm used to this exercise. Always keep your knees in line with your feet. Always keep in mind that you'll need to increase the flexibility in your legs so go slowly and safely. The videos are just to give you an idea, but the position is wrong, feet are too much wide apart to be safe. And if the range of movement is reduced also the effectiveness of the exercise is reduced.
- Always, always, always go slowly; you can't imagine how painful it is to have a strained muscle in your pelvis. It's an experience to avoid.
- Keep the dumbbell near your body and be careful that in the lower position it doesn't touch the ground.
- No Pain No Gain is a complete Rubbish. You have to be tired after training, not injured. If you feel pain stop immediately and check what's wrong, probably your position isn't the right one for you.
- Take your time and never rush. Weight training is extremely effective, but there are rules to follow to do it in the right way.
- Now, try do do the exercise without weights a couple of times. Don't you feel your buttocks already working very well? Isn't the Sumo Squat your best friend?
- Stretching: in my opinion the best exercise to stretch your legs, lower back and buttocks is simply when in the Sumo Squat position, obviously without weights, to go down slowly and smoothly until you feel a light tension in your muscles and remaining there for forty-fifty seconds. In this case, and only in this case, if your legs are not parallel to the ground is good. They should be for the stretching to be effective.
That's it, this is the best exercise for your buttocks in the world.
Conclusion
The Sumo Squat is a wonderful fitness exercise, useful for both females and males and should to be included in every buttocks workout. It will make wonders for your lower body, and it will really make it hard like a rock. But remember always to be careful, never sacrifice safety because even the best exercise can harm you if you do it wrong. Going slowly you'll reach your goal and get almost perfect buttocks.
And now you can read my article on the Straight Legs Deadlift. It's the perfect companion to the Sumo Squat.

Sumo Squat: Women's Buttocks Best Butt Lift Exercise CommentsLoading...
Hi Violet, I agree with you, as I love to receive feedback about my advices. It's a wonderful exercise, really worth trying. Thanks for your kind comment and for being the first one to come here, you're great. :)
hypnodude - I really enjoyed this hub. I am anxious to view the sumo squat but for some reason the video is not working on my computer. I was able to view the first one fine. The second one just has a spiral that is moving in the center and nothing happens when you press the arrow button. I refreshed my page and it made no difference. I will check back later to see if I can view it. Great job on this article and a nice set of buns.
Sage
Hi Sage, probably it's not your fault, unfortunately sometimes Revver is not as reliable as YouTube. If it goes on giving me problems I'll go back to YouTube and delete all their videos. Sorry for the drawback.
Thanks for your appreciation, I love the Sumo Squat too, and I'm glad you like my choice of pictures. :)
Thanks Captain Jack, I'm glad you liked it so much that you forgot what it was about. :)
oh bad company you are soooo deliciously badddd!!
hyponodude, wonderful exercise but I fear my butt/pardon me/gluts/ will never be twenty something again...but still at 57 I try well as I am able. YIPPEE!!! I ride my bicycle!!!
Thanks RNMSN, actually riding your bicycle is a pretty good exercise, so I guess you're still pretty fit. While it isn't possible to go back at twenty something nevertheless we can always improve the situation, even if it seems you're already fine ;) Thanks for your kind comment, and I agree with you, Captain Jack is great.
Wow--the pictures tell it all. I love the way you guide us through the Sumo squat exercise--very clear and easy to follow. Now, what would one do with a butt as hard as steel? I hope nobody gets hurt. Anyway, very interesting and well-done!
The photos are very motivating. I've found squats to be effective but will have to try the Sumo squat.
Thanks anglnwu, I'm glad you like it and for telling me it's organized well; that's always my biggest concern. As for your other question what's important is just to be careful when sitting on a chair. :):):)
Have a great day!
Thanks LRobbins, nice to meet you. Thanks for your comment, if you already know the Squat then it would be interesting after having tried the Sumo Squat if you can come back and give me your opinion, I would appreciate it. Thanks again.
You know I think there is nothing nicer than a great butt. A big thumbs up from me.
Mio carissimo fratello...
You did it again, didn´t you? Very interesting, practical, easy to follow! Nice pick, bro! I really liked it!
Thumbs up! Book marked and Stumbled!
Warmest regards and benedizioni infinita,
Al
And I agree 100% with you blondepoet, I'm glad we have the same point of view and thanks for the thumb up. :)
Thanks Al, I'm happy you liked it, thanks for rating, bookmarking and especially stumbling. I really appreciate it. :)
You're always a great support. Thanks. :)
Great Hub on sumo squats, hypnodude. I will give them a try sometime, but I think that my butt is long past looking like the picture!!!
Don't worry CMHypno, there is always room for improvement. :) If you try it you'll know what I mean, and you'll soon see and feel the difference. Give me feedback, and thanks for your comment. :)
Great hub! Now I'm off to read your Five Minute Workout Hub. Don't mind working out, but really would like it to take less time.
Hot and sizzling is what comes to mind when I first saw this hub! Hypnodude, this is an awesome hub, I'm familiar with the exercise, however I did not know it was called the Sumo Squat.
Just wanted you to know that I've added a complimentary link to this hub from my hub titled, "Healthy Body Sculpting Exercise for Women." Thanks a lot, I'm stumbling for you and rating up!:)
Hi Lee, thanks for coming and for your kind comment. After testing it I'd like to receive your feedback. Thanks and have a great day!
Thanks Money, I'm happy you like it and I've added a link to your great hub too. Isn't it a wonderful exercise? :)
Thanks for the rating and the stumbling, I appreciate it a lot. :)
I do something similar with the aid of my Swiss ball (I stand against a wall, the ball on my back and roll up and down). I'll try your style for a variation. Thanks for making it look so easy!
Thanks Princessa, that's an interesting exercise, I've never dealt with the Swiss Ball, but I've heard it's a good tool. Thanks for your kind comment. The Sumo Squat will become soon a good friend. :)
Hey hypnodude, I've just tried it. It was harder than expected but it felt good. I'll keep at it, I liked it.
Ps. When are my new buttocks delivered?
It does work - and just think - it is free!!! Thanks for the tip and the video. It also tightens the thighs nicely too.
I will have to try it; the Sumo squat sounds like a good exercise; thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Im exhausted! What are you doing to me hypnodude?! lol
rated it up hypno, I can use this one, it wil be useful for me, I will just be careful like you said HOORAY, Maita
Princessa, I'm glad for your decision. They should arrive as soon as Rebecca E sends me a couple of rubber ducks to handle the delivery department. :)
BKCreative, it tightens almost everything in the legs, thanks for you appreciation and for liking it. :)
Coolmon2009 you are right, the Sumo Squat is a wonderful exercise, just take your time to learn it and go slowly. :)
Thanks for your kind comment.
Hi Shaz, I'm just spreading a good exercise for buttocks. :):) Isn't it simply great? It really make you feel that your buttocks are really working hard. I appreciate your kind words. :)
Hi Maita, thanks for the hooray. It will soon become your best friend. The Sumo Squat has so many benefits that it's really a must. Have a great weekend!
Great exercise Hypnodude. First time I've heard of it and would love to give it a try once in a while. Thighs might hurt a bit, but "no pain, no gain". Its also good that it works for men and women.
Perfect Photo on top. Best Wishes.
Ps. As at the time I'm leaving this comment - the score on this Hub is 92. Well done. :)
Thanks Lady_E, I'm happy you liked it. I've been pretty lucky to have found a good photo for the hub. And, even if I'm not so sure why, I must admit that the hub is performing pretty well. As regards the Sumo Squat if you approach it slowly, beginning without weights you should have no problems with it.
Thanks again. :) Have a great week!
I tried this one, it hurts, the first day, but am doing slowly fine now, I followed your instructions, to the point hehe, thank you, hypno, youre great, Maita
Great info! Squats, if done properly, are one of the most effective workout moves! Good photo too - that's what caught my eye and drew me to your hub!
No more great than you Maita, :) I'm happy you're trying the Sumo Squat, you'll see great results in a short time. :) Have a great day!
Thanks kea, it seems that the upper picture has really been perfect for the hub. Thanks for your positive comment. And of course you are right, Squats are great, done safely. :)
I never heard of this before but it seems quite useful to get a good buttock results for women!
It's definitely the best exercise, and it's good also for men. Thanks for your kind comment sord87. Have a great day!
oh tight butts always get my attention. Fortunately I already have a nice tight butt but cheers for the tips. I will certainly be in the Guiness book of records for the world's tightest butt!!
Hypnodude you don't know how happy I am that you wrote this. Thank you lol
And that's certainly good for you Mamelody :) But not everyone is lucky like you. Thanks for your kind comment. :)
Ladyjane, it's my pleasure to be of help. Thanks for your comment, and I'll wait your feedback. :):)
I'm not too sure about that hypnodude. Have you ever acually seen a sumo wrestler's but? Hehe.
Well, have you ever seen the Sumo wrestler's diet? Actually they don't do this exercise, it gets its name from the position of legs. But I can see what you mean. :)
Well then, the sumo squat is my best friend too. Any friend of....
Hey I dropped by here to check on your nutrition hub> i hope you can put it together? is that what youre asking at the forum? this hub is helpful BTW, thank you, Maita
Thanks festersporling1, I'm glad you liked it. As a matter of fact the Sumo Squat is the best friend of both men and women. Have a nice day!
Hi Maita, actually I'm still writing it. I hope it can be part of the hubmob. Thanks for your "concern". You're a lovely friend. :)
Thanks for the lesson, exercise is everything for both men and women to keep the bodies healthy and young. The important parts incuding thighs etc sports women look extraordinary attractive ... But i don't think men like hard buttocks. Honestly soft butt are perfect...
I love how this hub started at the Bottom and has worked it's way to the Top, tis fate ;)
Well Sando, you know, tastes are tastes. But you can be sure that usually women prefer men with hard butts. That's why the Sumo Squat is great, it works for both sexes. :) Thanks for your comment.
TattoGuy, mate, thanks very much, for your witty comment and appreciation. Nice new pic. :)
Great information no matter your age. Simple exercises for even the boomer generation remind our muscles what they need to do. Thank you.

Nice to meet you sirrot. Thanks for your kind comment. And you're right, the Sumo Squat is great at any age, just take the time you need to learn it well. Have a great day!
That is a great exercise, I have always done it, but without the weights, never knew there was actually a name for this exercise, but it works great. Thanks for sharing.
Good information and helpful videos hypnodude!
Thanks voinetwork, it's great that you already know it and use it. It has many names, like Sumo Deadlift or Plie Squat, but they are all the same. Thanks for your kind comment.
Hi VitamineCentral, glad you liked. It hasn't been easy to find those videos of the Sumo Squat but at the end I've found two good enough. Thanks for your kind comment.
Well I for one am definitely going to start doing these...regular squats really bother my knees, but these ones don't - go figure LOL. SOOOO glad I read this :D
Then I'm happy you've read my hub and appreciate it. I prefer too, and so do my knees, the Sumo Squat over the regular Squat. Thanks for you beautiful comment and keep me informed.:):):)
And now I'll go checking your hubs. Have a great day!
OK hypnodue, looks like you'll be getting a lot of hub views with your opening pic!! The exercise looks pretty easy, used to do it quite a bit, maybe I should do it again since I sit here on the internet so much LOL!! Even at my age, I'd rather have a plump fresh potato for a butt rather than a mashed potato. Thanks for the info!! Rated up!!
I'll surely remember this technique when I am doing my stretching. Thanks hypno dude.
I'll pass this around to all the women I know. Perhaps the scenery will be marked improved in a few weeks. Thanks. :-)
Thanks Support Med, actually this is my best hub up to now, even if it's short and doesn't have a lot of pics or vids. It seems that readers appreciate it anyway. :) The potato similarity is great. Thanks again for the comment and the rating. :)
Thanks Teresa, the Sumo Squat is a great addition to any workout, at least this is my opinion. :) Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend.
Hi James, thanks for your kind words, just be careful that someone could think you're sending a message undercover. :)
Btw to be fair I'm preparing a hub on abdominal muscles for men.
Have a great weekend! And thanks again.
it is no wonder this Hub has a score of 96. I am already addicted to doing these. . .because yes I want that butt that is so nicely displayed at the beginning of this Hub. Big thumb and everything else up on this one And.....this is just about by far your best and my most favorite Hub!!!!! Tweeting it right now;) &hearts
Really great instructions on this Hypnodude. The way you explain it, you don't need the videos, but they're a nice addition. I can feel my sore hamstrings the next day already! If done properly, it really works the core too. Rated up!
wavegirl, its' always a pleasure to read your comments. This one in particular is very much appreciated. I don't think you'll need to work so much to reach that butt, and I'm happy you find the Sumo Squat so good. It's a wonderful exercise. I'm glad you appreciate it and thanks for the rating and the tweeting. I can always count on your support.:)
Hi Jai, nice to meet you and thanks for your so kind words, I tried to be as "clear" as possible. Thanks for the appreciation and the rating. Have a great Sunday!
Amazing Hub!! You are synonym to quality. This hub is very informative and well-written. Bookmarked it as planning to join a gym soon. Rated up as usual!!
Hi Hypnodude, pretty cool exercise tip. I don't have much problems with my butt but I intend to add this to my exercise routine :) Thanks so much!
englightenedsoul, thanks for your so kind words, as a matter of fact your hubs too are of great quality, that's why I usually stumble them. :) Thanks for rating and bookmarking, let me know how it goes, even if I'm sure you'll love the Sumo Squat.:)
ripplemaker, thanks for your comment and appreciation. Even if you don't need it, and this is good, I'm pretty sure you'll love it anyway.;) Have a great Sunday!
Don't forget to throw salt in the ring for luck :)
Interesting variation on traditional butt exercises. Would be interesting to get some feedback from readers on how well it works for them.
BTW, just an OUTSTANDING legitimate use of a hot butt picture :)
This made me want to get up off the couch and try this position right away. Bikini season is right around the corner! My daughter is a personal trainer and we also blog about workout positions at Http://www.TopHealthSpot.com. I have just started following you. I intent to read all of your hubs when I get the chance. Thanks so much for saving my butt!
Great hub, Hypnodude! I'll try to remember to add this into some of my exercises. Now I want to read your 5 minute routine - I'm always looking for time-savers.
I'm still trying to get my butt to look like that, why can't it happen? LOL. Wait, no one wants to see me in a bikini, that's why. Nice hub though buddy, keep it up.
Hi Hub Llama, thanks for your comment. And I agree with you, it would be interesting to receive feedback on how The Sumo Squat works. Glad you liked also the picture. :)
Hi Top Health Spot, I'm glad if I saved your butt. :) Thanks for your appreciation and for following me, I guess you should find my other hubs pretty interesting. Have a great day!
Hi nadp, thanks for your kind words, I'm pretty sure that you should find the Five Minutes Quick Workout pretty good too. And I'm glad you liked the Sumo Squat, I like your Math hubs too.:)
Thanks for your comment ddhamilt, I'm glad you like it. Btw the Sumo Squat is great even if you don't wear a bikini.:)
I'm workin on that one for my butt!!! Gettin ready for summer :)
Hi jgw899, I'm sure you will be read for the summer with the Sumo Squat, and if you want to speed results there is anther hub called Lean Meat: Forever Thin which can be useful. Thanks for the kind comment and have a great day!
i need me a booty like that, Does that works for woman that have big booty ?
Surely. Just don't exaggerate training too much. Thanks for the comment.
sumo is ok for me but it still hurts hehe, but rated this up again in my name --
These are not good sharing
Oh I am going to try this!
Alexandria, if it hurts because you are using muscles in a different way it's good, it means that the Sumo Squat is doing its job. But keep in mind to go slowly and safely.:) Thanks for your comment.
sadeeqbao I don't actually see what you mean but thanks for commenting.
Hi becca7176, thanks for coming and commenting. I'll wait for your feedback on the Sumo Squat. :)
OK, I'm convinced ... I have got to try the Sumo Squat! This looks amazing. Thumbs up.
Hi Lamme, thanks for the thumbs and your kind comment. I'm sure you'll be pretty satisfied. Remember the feedback, and Happy Easter!
Oh I am going to try this!
...................................................
Added to my workout program already. Love the burn thanks.
Thanks zuesza for your kind comment. Happy Easter!
Hi denise, you really feel that with the Sumo Squat buttocks are working hard, right? Thanks for the kind comment and Happy Easter!
Great article! I didn't realize the squat was so effective but after trying it I can definitely feel the burn and my stabilizers kickin' in. Thanks!
Thanks Mike for the kind comment. Really the Sumo Squat is a wonderful exercise, and as you rightly said you feel immediately muscles working well. Have a good day!
These buttocks on the pic are really ALMOST perfect ;) I learned about the importance of activated strong Gluteus Maximus, so birddogs, hip thrusts and glute bridges are my new best friends.
Thanks Ted, as you rightly said Gluteus are one of the most important muscles of our body; actually a great part of our strength derives from them. Thanks for your kind comment.
For a butt like that, I think I'll give it a try. I just hope I can get back up!
Lol, just begin without weights, and than go on with small weights. The step by step approach is always the best one. And I'm sure you'll see results pretty soon. Thanks for the comment. :)
Sorry, but the lady in the pictures really does not have much of a butt. Her glutes are flat and undeveloped. Take a look at any figure skater or gymnast. That's an example of glute development. I think that she should keep doing her sumo squats. Of course, genetics has a lot to do with the result as well. Good instructions.
Thanks for your comment tdpubs. I agree with you that gymnasts, skaters and fitness models have more developed buttocks, yet I think that the ones on pictures are pretty good too. And they are an easier goal to aim for.:)
Great hub, will surely try the sumo squat, need all the help I can get!
Thanks for your comment europewalker, I'm sure the Sumo Squat will maintain its promises. Just take your time to learn to do it well. :)
"Almost" perfect???
That's gotta be the nice looking butt I've seen in years... WOW!!!
Wow, this is great! I can't wait to get started. I have been looking for this a long time. Thank you so much
As a former ballerina and still extremely fit I can tell you that this specific squat exercise is a gem! So glad you have brought it to people's attention. Nice job on the hub and I like the way you take time to teach us to be careful and take our time. It's important to have variety, especially with squats as most people hate them and get bored very quickly - such as myself. TDpubs, many women are not looking to have massive muscle buttocks such as gymnasts - those women have been working toward a goal for years from a young age. Most women are looking to have smooth buttocks- no flab or cellulite. A behind that is becoming a woman - not a muscle builder. Thanks Hypnodude I will be looking for more good stuff from you to keep adding variety to my workout routine! Cheers!
Thanks Willy for appreciating my choice of pictures.:) And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Have a great day!
Thanks to you Granny's House for your appreciation and kind comment. And keep me informed. :)
Hi Michel Jayne, nice to meet you and thanks for your beautiful comment. Your words are much appreciated, and truly the Sumo Squat is a wonderful and extremely effective exercise. Thanks for the added knowledge, and as you with your background surely know, where there are muscles it's very hard to find cellulite. Thanks again.:)
I need this! I need this! LOL You are a butt saver hypnodude! Many many thanks for this hub.
*Misty
Butt saver? Lol, that's an interesting definition. :)
Glad you liked my article, and I'm sure that with the Sumo Squat your buttocks will become like rocks. Thanks for your funny comment. :)
This is a really good workout! it really does work if you stick to it :)
That's definitely true ceholmes, thanks for coming and commenting.
I'm feeling really inspired after watching/viewing your hub, very informative and easy to understand! Thanks for the tips :)
Thanks Applecandy, your kind words are much appreciated. :) I'm sure the Sumo Squat will become soon your preferred fitness exercise. Have a great day!
Haha great Hub! I'll be taking your advice for sure. Although I may just need to eat less chocolate. Keep up the great work!
Well raineer, if you use the Sumo Squat you can eat your chocolate as muscles burn calories. :) Thanks for your kind words, and for taking the time to comment. Have a great day!
Great informational video! I had no idea there was something called sumo squats. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for your kind comment bladesofgrass, I'm glad you appreciated it and even more for having told you something new. You'll see it's a great exercise. Have a great day!
this is kinda guy's butt on the first pic, not female's... haha A Female needs a nicely shaped butt, but a butt, not no-butt.
I agree with butt lover. The woman in the bikini here doesn't really have a butt.
I'm excited to try this...I've been looking for something that will work so I googled buttocks exercises and this one came up. Thank you again
This is a good piece. This is exactly how a powerlifter would squat, except we powerlifters must descend below parallel by about three inches. Done correctly, this exercise will definitely work. Not just for women, but for men, too.
Sumo squats are awesome. Good for us men too :)
Oh and thanks for the pictures of the ladies finely toned behinds. Was not at all distracting :)
Great Hub :) Welcome to HubPages !
Thank you for the great tips. Now that I am 52 I do see things going south. Will bookmark and vote up
Thank you all for your kind comments much appreciated. Especially the funny ones. :):):)
That's a nice butt ;) I wish my girlfriend would get off the couch and do some sumo squats. haha
Good exercise, I use it a lot with my female clients. It seems to be very knee friendly to so great for people with dodgey knees or on the way back from an injury (in the proper stage of rehab of course)
Two other great exercises for the same outcome are Kettle bell swings and lunges. cheers
Wonderful exercise for good looking butts for women.i will surely give it a trial.thanks for this article.
Thanks for the tips. I would only make the butt photos smaller and the videos bigger if it was my hub.
But cool info, thanks!
Great butt hub! LOL! I mean that in a good way of course. Great way to get a good looking derriere. I do squats and they are great for the behind, and keeping things in uh...shape. Rate this up, and great photos too! :)
Great hub..also want to know more about developing ones chest and thigh.
Awesome. I will try them! I love my squats (they really do work wonders) and am using the bar with 10kg's on each end at the mo. Do you still think the sumo squat will work well for me?
Both video and graphics show poor form in a "sumo" squat; the legs are much further apart than shown and the knees are spread apart as much as possible, as if pulling them towards the back. One should try to go down nearly 90deg with the floor (thighs parallel with the floor) then squeeze the butt and leg muscles coming up. A dumbell will work as will hanging a weight from a chain belt; alternatively one can use a long barbell or olympic bar and use a shoulder wide grip, plus or minus; one caveat, one must keep the back super straight and all the abdominal muscles engaged when using a barbell so as not to injure the back, and do this movement SLOW and with great form. Better to do 4 to 8 really good reps to failure than 15 to 20 fast and useless reps! Good luck, lift smart!
Is this exercise useful for a man too. I will see if it really works. I like this hub.
Thanks, it will surely work for a man too. Have a great day!
Nice pictures hypnodude .... I loved this hub .... Great hub for exercise .... Thanks for the share .... Keep the good work up .....
Great hub, thanks for the info. My wife always complains that she has a flat butt. Not for long after I show her this!
Wow, where's you get those pics? :)
VioletSun Level 5 Commenter 2 years ago
Had not heard of the Sumo Squat, you and the video instructor makes it look easy! I wonder how many hubbers are going to end up with tight buttocks after reading your hub? Would be cool if hubbers came back and shared. :)
Thumbs up!
