How to eliminate glutes from leg workout

[HUNTER1984]

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone had any exercises that they could tell me about that eliminates glutes out of a leg workout. My ass is getting huge and my legs are not.lol.Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

stick to strict front squats, leg ext, hamstring curls and close stance lunges

lol thats weird

i find machine squat does wonders

aswell as 45 degree leg press

both focus mainly on your quads, their minimal amount put on your glutes

[t-gunz]

any exercise you can do on your legs still hits the glutes...

correct me if im wrong..

not sounding rude. but if your ass is getting bigger is it fat?

Thats what i was thinking also do a bodyfat analysis to see if your Bf has gone up because i think its not possible to be gaining significant lean muscle mass on the glutes while the rest of the leg is not, especially that most leg exercises are compound in a way that they work every other major leg muscle.

I personally have that crappy genetic layout where my legs and arms and upper body are ectomorph and always ripped but never big muscles, but my abs/lower back/glutes are very endo and all the fat quickly goes to them.
Its very difficult for me to do cardio hoping to reduce the fatty areas without making the Ecto areas more skinny! I seriously consider glute liposuction because i am over 30 now and i'm begining to get the "old-man-a$$" the type which when you wear dress pants you look like a grand-dad.

I was also wondering if the OP was gaining a considerable amount of fat in the glutes rather than muscle. I find the legs much easier to develop than the glutes when doing the major compound movements (but that's just me).

There are of course isolation exercises that target specific areas of the legs and leave the glutes out of the picture a bit more. Leg curls and extensions are a couple examples as opposed to compound movements such as leg press and squats.

However, depending on diet, metabolism, and body type, I'd be afraid to leave glutes out entirely if it was indeed fat rather than muscle tissue that was showing up.

On your pressing movement or squats get positioned so you can press more with the ball of your foot as opposed to your heels. Usually placing your feet lower on the leg press and hack squats and getting closer together with your stance in the smith maching will accomplish this.

thanks for the replies guys. It's not fat that is developing. I am losing fat with my current routine, but i have always had large glute muscles by nature. As well as my chest and traps. They seem to grow so easily while my arms and legs lag. I can feel my glutes burning and doing most of the work when i do squats and uphill sprints. My current bf is about 15%. My current leg routine exercises are smith machine squats, dumbbell lunges, and hack squats. I will incorporate some front squats in my routine in the future. Again thanks for the advice guys, always helpful.

I would post up some videos of yourself squatting - you may be doing things which are inadvertantly bringing your glutes into it more than your quads/hams. You don't even need to necessarily post it here if you want, just videotape yourself so you can see if you're doing everything right.

my glutes grow crazy out of proportion too. You should love it cuz they (girls) always do.

Use partial reps on compound exercises and use leg exts.. The deeper you go when using compounds the more hams/glutes come into play!

Liek fireguy stated you could stay more on the balls of your feet like when doing sissy squats but with heavy weight it puts too much stress on knees IMO.
