Hey Doll,

I think genetics my play a part in maca's butt growing powers but even if genetics don't favor your butt maca can still work for you. I know most people think Black women all have big butts but its not true for every one. All of the women in my family have small butts (with the exception of my twin and one cousin ), but nice hips. I was not surprised when maca widen/rounded my hips because as you said genetics is the main determinant of fat distribution. Like you I had a hard time getting over 114lbs (from 12 y.o and I weighed that up until last year). But you can't just take maca and not excercise (heavy lifting and resistance training). I think what helped my butt grow was maca helping me to put weight on and build muscle by doing workouts for my lower body. How long did you take maca?

That's pretty much exactly what I was saying...Since women in your family have genetically wider hips, that means that fat will likely be put onto your hips for you. I didn't realize that you had not just gained weight, but MUSCLE weight as well. That is completely different than just gaining weight.

Yes, working out on maca will give you much better results than taking it without workout. Like I said, maca works by increasing testosterone which HELPS BUILD MUSCLE. So of course it will help you gain a bigger butt when coupled with muscle building. However, it is mainly the weight training that will build your muscles, and lifting weights and consuming enough protein will give you about the same results as taking maca (maca will work better on some people depending on their natural hormone levels, of course, but it generally isn't the key to gaining butt muscle).

I took maca for about 3 and a half months, and have seen the same results without it. Like I said, for me, I produce a lot of T naturally, so it doesn't work as well on me anyway. But even for those with regular hormone levels, it won't increase the results as much as women think it will (which is why most women take it without exercise and get disappointed that it doesn't do much at all after months of taking high doses).
