Hey guys, my name is Mavi and I've spent the last 14 years in the plastic surgery and beauty industry working alongside top board certified plastic surgeons. In that time I've helped thousands of women in their surgical journey. My passion to educate and help women feel empowered is what led to what we now know as the Big Butts No Lies Podcast.
Join in on the fun. As I talk to plastic surgery, experts, friends, and real life patients about all things. Plastic surgery should be fun.
MAVI- Hey guys, do I have the episode for you today? One of the questions I get asked a lot is how do I enhance my results? How after a BBL, how can I keep my cake cake in?
How can I keep that booty popping? So this. A very, very exciting episode for me because I have some answers for y'all. I've been searching around the internet far and wide to find the answer. So. Over on TikTok. You guys know, I like to be on over on TikTok. I found Nunzziii the booty king. And if you guys go over to his channel, you'll see hundreds and hundreds of videos with the best booty building workouts.
So he is the perfect guest for us to have on today. As we discuss what's the best way to maintain the BBL results. Thanks so much for being on the show with us today. Nu.
Nunzziii- This is an honor and dream come true to be on the, on the, on the big podcast, like right away. I'm at home here. These are my people and just foodies for life.
Yeah, no dude. It's dope. Thank you for having me on here. And, uh, I do have some answers, many answers. Good. We have a lot of questions. We have a lot of questions. So first, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started with your channel? How, how did you become the booty king? So basically I'm Italian descent and I have always had.
Big dumpy you know, I was like, this screw up was a big dumpy. I remember in high school, you know, I was kinda like on the football team, a lot of people would always come and like wanna watch and see him. I've always had a big, I've always had a big ass, but, uh, I've always had a love for fitness. And I started working out at 14 years old.
I fell in love with it because it really, it helped me overcome so many different obstacles I had in my life. And, you know, at that time I was given a lot of different, uh, mental health conditions and all this kind of labeling bullshit. But I ended up realizing that when working out it just changed my confidence.
It changed my outlook. So I really said, okay, this is, I need to show and help people realize that by taking care of their body and taking care of their mind, they're going to really enhance their. That, that was always a really big love for me. I actually was an actor for a few years outta high school, and I lived in LA and then I ended up moving to Vancouver where I became a personal trainer.
And then through there just like continued my sort of journey. I also went through a huge weight loss transformation. I was actually a hundred pounds. Overweight and ended up losing that. So I I've been around, like, I've done a lot. So I ended up actually opening up my own gym in Vancouver, where I'm from in Canada here.
That's when I started sort of getting into social media, I was always had a love for the camera, obviously being an actor and started playing around on, you know, Instagram at that time. And then when the pandemic hit, you know, everyone's lives changed. Right? So at that point, our gym got shut down and I downloaded TikTok.
And started getting into trading all these tos and we went viral and it actually was funny cuz when I started my fitness TikTok, I did all around fitness. You know, I would do chess videos, art videos, and then I would do booty videos and my booty videos would go viral. They would just take off. So I was like, okay, obviously there is sort of a want for booty videos and I've started just dedicating my content to being glued focused, let alone.
Did I start to realize how much of an impact it had on my life and how much I loved trading the glues. Cause I've always loved training my legs, like even in high school. I'd always wear the shortest shorts to high, you know, to my school. And like, you know, I was always resting my legs and I was always getting made fun of that, but I always was true to myself, my authentic nature and loved to wrap my big booty in my big legs.
but anyway, so when I started my and started making all those booty content, like that's one of the thing you, one of the big things I've realized Abby, as a trainer specifically as well. So many people deal with like back pain, knee pain, and there's such an importance to training the glutes. All these pains are due to the fact that we have really weak glutes because the silent cancer in our world is sitting.
These sedentary lifestyles are literally is what making our pancakes, because some of the first rules, ladies and gentlemen to building muscle is activation. So really understanding how to activate your muscles. And particularly the glutes are extremely hard to activate because we sit so much. So that is sort of the first step.
And even then today, when we get into more questions about how we keep, you know, your BBL look and take E as you say, I love that is really understanding glued activation. And that's where the foundation of my work really begins is understanding how to pop the booty, engage the glutes. You know, the glutes are a very tough muscle to engage and yeah.
You know what, Bobby, like, I've just had a lot of fun. Like, I, I just. I wake up every day. I'm so grateful for my life to be alive. I'm grateful for all the opportunities in my life and, you know, the universe, God has given me some assets, Winky face, you know, like, so, you know, I use my assets to my, um, you know, ability, you know, I've been able to probably say like, I I've put on, like, I think in the last two years, cause I've really picked up my booty training.
Like I've bastard, the craft of booty training. And the art of it. And I've probably put on about six inches, like I'm around a 47 inch pitch right now, which is, uh, you know, I think that's what pretty, that's pretty big. That's what somes, what some of our BBLs are. That's what, that's what some of our PBLs are.
Yeah. Like I've always said, like, if you can get in 40 club, that's a big win. Right. So yeah. You know, and it's, it's also like, you know, I've always said there's actually two ways to, uh, grow the booty, you know, there's growing the booty itself and then there's also shrinking. That's something I, I I've always held to as well is like keeping my waist.
So, you know, you have the, the illusions right. Of a, that hourglass figure. So, okay. So now, now that I got you in line, yeah. Let's ask you some questions. How do I do that? How do you do the muscle activation? How do you yeah. How do you grow up booty? Yes. Okay. So muscle activation like this, it's like, this is a good metaphor from what I'm doing right now.
It's like, for example, I'm learning how to dance. So. I'm actually learning right now because I'm so new to dance, how to just move my body. Right. I'm learning how to move the body before I actually learn like dance moves. So that's the same thing with working out and that's the really big, fundamental step that people miss.
Is they go right to the dance move. So they go right to the exercises. Right. And you see a lot of people just do squatting and deadlift and lunging, and they don't get the results they want because they, they miss the step of how to activate the booty. What we have to do is to learn glued isolation exercises.
So when we do things like squats and deadlift, Even lunges or single leg, dead lifts. These are compound movements. So these are actually engaging a lot of our quads or hamstrings, um, core. So there's a lot of other muscles working and that's why those aren't the best exercises to do for glued isolation.
So what you really wanna focus on, and there is tons of days on my kids on. Like it's all this, like, you'll see so much stuff, but the kickback is one of my favorites. So you can even do it. For example, if you're listen, if you're listening right now, hopefully you are, you do it standing up or you can do it on all fours and I'm gonna do it.
I have my microphone in my hand. I'm gonna do it while I'm okay. Yeah. Do it right now. Do it. Okay. So basically I want you to stand on one. Okay, so standing up one leg, you can already feel your glued on the leg. It's standing, right? Because the Glu or thes of the body. So even standing on one leg will teach your Glu how to engage.
But anyway, that's actually not the, so the working leg is the leg that's off the ground. And what I want you to do is I want you to slightly turn your foot out and I want you to basically keep your leg super straight. And I want you to pull your leg back to about, uh, four o'clock. Like about 45 degrees.
So not straight back, not out to the side, but just straight on that angle. And I really want you to keep that foot angled in actually, so angled, you can do angled in or angled out. It's gonna work different parts of the. But whatever's gonna make you have a really good contraction. Can you feel that? Yeah.
yeah. Right. So even right now, try try this for a sec. So you're on that one leg. So kick back and just hold it, like really hold it. Keep your chest up. Don't bend over too much and just see how far back you can squeeze that glue and he should be squeeze it really hard. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah. So even if you just did like 20 rest of.
You'll shake it out and you'll feel your peach. You'll be a lot more pumped just with that. So just with that, right? I think it's important to educate everyone as well. There are basically three muscles in the glute. The big muscle is glute max. So the glute max is kind of like it's the under part. So it's the big part.
It's what's gonna make your peach look very big. Like, you know, big booties projection, big glute max is that what's gonna give the projection. So, yeah, so that would give the projection. The Mead. So the glute meat is the shelf and that's what, there's a famous like picture. I've always referenced kid Kardashian.
So she balances a wine glass on her booty, but it's the shelf of the booty. So it's the me, and it's the glute me. That's gonna really give it that round popping sort of shape. Right. So a lot of, I I've trained a lot of girls who have really, like, most people have very overdeveloped maxes. Because the glute max is going to engage more easily, cuz it's a bigger muscle.
I'm just gonna like, so glute max is always hit in your compound movements. So your squats, your dead, your lunges, those are gonna be a lot of glute max focus. The glute need, which to me is the gem of the groups and what will really. And I think that's really, you know what, I actually really think that's important for, uh, anyone getting a BBL surgery, because I feel like once you get the BBL, there's gonna, it's gonna be really important that you keep your butt, cause you don't want it to let ITAG and hang too much.
So that's where the glute me is. The shelf will be really important to build out, to round out that peach and how you will hit the glute need. It's a lot of include isolation, so that kickback, you know, never that kickback, we just did Uhhuh. So that's a glue meat exercise, right? Okay. I'm writing all this down.
yeah. Write it down. So another really good tip here. Ma I want you to try this for a sec. Actually do this. So stand up again. Okay. Get in that same position. We were in same position where you're standing on one leg. You're you're, you're straight up. You don't wanna bend over too much, but this time I want you to take your thumb and I want you to just drive it into the glute meat, which is the top of the butt.
So drive your thumb into that. And now. Perform the kickback and feel that muscle engage. You feel that Glu bleed engage as the kickback? Yeah. So by digging your thumb into the muscle, that's gonna really help as well. So you can do that exact same exercise, which is a glue kickback on a cable machine. So if you do follow.
Nu or Deb booty Kings. You'll notice that I do a lot, like I've mastered the art Navi of the cable kickback because the cable kickback is no doubt. The best exercise you can do. It's my secret weapon. I really, I credit my peach to getting huge from this exercise and really mastering it. This is what I wanted to know.
This is exactly what I wanted to know. So this is it. So, so give me your top workouts for my girls who are looking to look slim thick, slim, and the waist thicker in the. And they don't want to look very masculine. That's one of that's one of the things that I hear from women who tell me, oh, I don't, I don't work out too hard because I don't wanna look like my end.
I don't want my arms to get big. I don't want my legs to look too big. So tell me some exercises that will tone, but not make you look so muscular. So, so like manly, the best exercise to slim the waist. His hands down the AB vacuum that controls the transverses of Dominus, which its main focus there is to keep the waist.
That is like using planking or side planking uses your transverse Dominus as well. And these are all exercises to reduce and slim the waste without working the abs itself like crunches or sit ups or leg RAs, which focus on the RECIST of Dominus that will actually build out the AB muscles. So if your goal is to slim the waste, you wanna work on your planking, your AB vacuums, and learn to have the belly button to spine mental cue.
To keep that waste looking nice and tight. Hands down the best booty pumping exercises you can do right at home are the straight lake kickbacks, donkey kicks side, kick outs and fire hydrants. Those are the main glued activation exercises that can be done anywhere at any time. The kickback is a straight lake where you, you angle out at 45 degrees.
To engage the glute need. The donkey kick is where you bend the knee and kick the heel to ceiling. The side kickout is raising your leg directly out to the side and the fire hydrant is the same motion. However, your knee is bent. Those four exercises work the glute max and glute me, and will get a great peach pump anywhere at your home at your office.
There's no excuse to get that booty. Look at thick for toned arms. You wanna work on triceps and bicep exercise. If you're at a gym, the tricep rope extension is awesome. Same with a basic bicep curl. You're just gonna wanna avoid lifting really heavy weights. Keep your repetition super high 20 to 30 reps plus.
Kickbacks are awesome at home. Tricep dips are another great exercise you can do at home. Like I said, any more body weight exercises will really tone and firm the arms instead of lifting heavier weights, which will add mass to the arms. So if you're looking at getting nice toned arms, think about diamond pushups, tricep dips, very light curls.
Tri up extensions and kickbacks, and now we'll get the arms nice and toned without too much master size. So in terms of a leg workout, I think the best thing that you can do is, um, you know, start with some kind of squat. A Sumo based squat is gonna be more ideal for glutes, which are feet wide angled out 45 degrees.
I like five sets about 20 reps. I would move in then to a Bulgar split squat, which is like an elevated lunge. And then into single leg deadlifts. So some isolation movements there, I like three sets of 20 reps for those I'll hit some hip lifts, dumbbell, hip lifts. That's a fantastic exercise using a bench to really focus on the glutes and hamstrings.
I like three sets of 20 there, and then I'll finish off with the glued isolation. So my kickbacks donkey kicks on a cable stack. I like to do about four sets of 15 to 20 reps. And then I might finish off the workout with a glued hyper extension. I'll bang out 50 reps there. And then if I have time, I'll hit my Cal raises about 50 reps on the seated or standing.
That's a complete leg day, you know, it's, this is where it takes. So you have to go, like I said, I just keep plugging my, my , but it actually has all of this because it does, I've been through it. I've been through all of your videos, so I you're not plugging it. It's just, that's where the that's where it is.
If you wanna see how to do it, go over there. That's what I'm saying, right. Because I'm going to try, explain. Audio here, the method I use. So basically picture yourself at the gym and you're by the table stack. Now, the first thing you do is you want to elevate yourself. So I usually grab a plate like a 45 pound plate or a little stepper.
You don't want it to be too high. We're talking about. You know, maybe four to five inches off the ground. So what you would do if you were, if you were standing next to the cable stack, let's say my right side, next to the cable stack, you would have your left leg strapped up. So not the leg closest, you'd have the opposite leg strapped up.
And then what you would do is you would visualize this. You would step over the cable and then you would step on the plate of the elevation, whatever you have. So now your right leg is on top of the plate. Elevate. Your left leg is strapped up and you're gonna basically mimic that same motion that move it, Navi that I just did with you, where you're standing doing the kickback, but because of that elevation, and because you step over the cable, it just puts the glute meat right at fire.
And once you understand how to keep your glutes and hip stable, cause that's a really big error in, uh, what I watch people train their booties is there's too much hip movement going. You really have to keep your glutes and hips, stable, performing these exercises. Cause if you move too much, you're gonna lose that tension.
And the tension's very important. It's everything. So how it's everything. So go into that. So it comes back to muscle activation. So that, that is how we grow and build muscle. When most people go to the gym and they skip that first step of how to dance or how to move your body, how to engage your muscles and just go to exercise.
It's just kind of like they're sitting down and they're like, for example, swatting, just down and up right. Point a to B. They're not really thinking about the fact that. What we're trying to do when we train is we're trying to engage and stimulate and break down muscle fibers. So for example, a lot of muscles that guys struggle with is upper chest.
The upper chest is a really difficult muscle to engage because we're very internally rotated from phones, posture, all that kind of stuff. So in order to hit the, the Peck minor, which is the upper chest, you have to learn how to engage, have to learn how to. So like, cause if you can't do that, like if you can't, if I can't pop my booty, like dude, go and check out.
I think it's on TikTok or it's my Instagram. I literally can do a crazy booty pop. Like I can make the booty dance, like up and down, up and down. And that's what you really want to get good at. Like you should be standing in there and if you start have your BL surgery, are your BL like all done healed and.
Hop your booty and just stand up, like do it with me right now. Matt, stand up for a sec. Hold on. I have a mirror in my office. So let me let get somewhere where I can see myself in the mirror. So when you're, when you're standing and ready to go have your seat, like, you know, pretty like in inch, shoulder width.
So not too wide, pretty tight. And basically just start to just try and pop your loose. Engage your Glu. So how you do that is you have to have your feet planted. And I kind of think about pulling back, but I'm really just popping the booty. So I'll do like five reps on the right where I'm just trying to connect my mind to my right glute and engage it.
And then I'll be five reps on the left and that's what we're doing. We're starting to build. So now once you're, so I've been popping it now, I'm gonna hold it. Now. I'm gonna so squeeze your cheeks together. Like really hard and just hold it. You feel that? Yeah. I feel that. Yeah. Right. So then the last, let the blue relax and now engage.
'em. So really squeeze the glutes. So by practicing this, so like basically once you're squeezing your glutes and you feel your booty, right? So remember when I was getting you to dig your thumb into the glute me kick back there. Mm-hmm, the reason why I do that is because I can feel if you do it with me right now, again, dig your thumb and do that glue, kick back, feel the muscle and try not to let it.
So once you feel it released, that's where you have to stop. And that's your active working range. Because coming back to your question, if we don't have tension in the muscle, we're not doing anything. And that is why so many people are left disappointed with their results in the gym, because they're not actually working out properly.
they're just in there thinking they're working out, but they're not understanding that there's a deeper connection. You have to have when you train, you know, that's why training is it's it's like, it's, it's a very mom muscle that requires a focus, you know? Right. This makes so much sense. So yeah, on this, on the cable kickback, how much weight should it have on it?
So, great question nav. This is a great question. Your muscles do not have eyes and they cannot see the number on the weight. You cannot Eagle lift. I always highly, highly, highly recommend you start as light as you can keep the tension, feel the booty engage, and very slowly, gradually work your way up, especially on something like a cable kickback, which is an isolated movement, very isolated.
That is where you're gonna do high reps with a lighter weight. Now don't get me wrong. When you have started to master the exercise, then you have the. To raise the weight. Cause I actually can go quite heavy on a kickback. However you run the risk of when you start going heavy on a kickback, your hips rotating.
And like I said earlier, that is a no-no and will lose tension on the, because obviously you're gonna have to start to overcompensate for all this weight. You better off maybe heavier weight for things like lunging and squatting and deadlift, which are compound movements. But I highly recommend, like I said, you start light and perfect the movement.
So like, you know, you could put his body weight, right. And then five pounds. I think another really great thing to have if you're at home is doing, uh, like ankle weights. Cause you could do ankle weight. And, you know, it's, it's great as well. Right. So yeah, but either weight, you wanna go, I'm writing all this down.
Yeah. Yeah. Ankle weights are awesome. Especially during the pandemic there, like, you know, you can do a lot of boot activation stuff like boot activation in isolation is not requiring a lot of weight. Like I do. I go talk live every weekend and sometimes throughout the week for a home booty activation.
And I just do it, like with my body weight and I I'm sweating, like my booty is pumped after this. Right. Cause you're, that's the thing is you're trying to isolate the muscle, so yeah. It's uh, totally. I love it. I love it. So, okay. I'm gonna ask you some of the questions that I get asked the most, for example, four girls who have maybe already had their BBL and they still have some hip dips.
How are there any exercises they can do to help build that out or no, always the, yes, but here's the thing. I, you know what, OK. Cause I just got asked this today on my own TikTok on my last video. How to get rid of how to hips. I, I, it, right. So can you actually, I, I think I know what it is that where it sort of dips in that is where the hip ends and the leg starts and right.
And it, it kinda dips in it dips in. Yeah. Okay. So I know what that is exactly, because basically, okay. So the thing is I cannot deny that. Some of the booty aesthetics will come down to genetics, right? Like, you know, genetics are gonna play a role in the fact that we all have different booty genetics. And we all have different ways that our body is built and our bone structure within our hips.
Right? Like, like, you know, there's a lot that goes into this sort of hip. Now the thing is, is like, you're gonna really wanna work on that glute need, right. Because the glute need is what's going to give you the pop. Right. So if you're looking at a, if you're looking at a booty from behind and it kind of just goes down and then out like, uh, like a, like a tear drop, you know, that's like a big booty with not a lot of height.
And that's where you see that. So, what you gotta do is you gotta lift the, but you gotta, you gotta, and that's what I'm saying. That would be my thing. And I don't what you're, this is the, I don't know exactly, but like, depending on the size, I could just see gravity doing a thing or it, so it maybe hangs more.
Oh yeah. Cause I don't know if they absolutely cause. Because you wanna like, and, and that there's something wrong with an that's like fucking juicy and, and hanging like, you know what I mean? Like that's like, that's, you know, it's a look. Yeah. It's a teardrop look. Yeah. Yeah. You know, but I'm just saying, but if you wanna give it like, no, I've of course, because it's going yeah, you need, yeah.
You need workouts that are going to tone the muscles after BBL. So Dr. Azizi, he's said it, uh, multiple times on the show that working. After your BBL only enhances your results. So a hundred percent, yes. These, these workouts, you're saying. And this is why I brought you on, okay, well now we know we need to work out our booty, but let's find out how to work it out to get the best rejection and yes.
You know, what, what do we need to do? So that's why you're here. That's why you're on today. and that's why tell, let's go, dude, because the thing is like, right, when you get a BBL, it's really exciting, right? Cause you're giving yourself a big level up, but it's not necessarily bandaid like, and you can drastically continue to improve.
You're booty by doing the glued isolation workouts I'm talking about. And even if you don't exercise, like when I was like, I'm from Vancouver, we have a big sort of like, you know, scene, you know, people wanna look good. Right. So I deal with a lot of likes that would come in and they'd be like, okay, like, you know, like I wanna like shrink my waist, grow my booty.
And then here was a big one to not grow my thighs. Like a lot of girls I think, were concerned with the size of their quad. Because like, that's one kind of like way, like I got big quads, right? So if that is your focus, that is like why doing the glute kickbacks, the side tick outs, the donkey kicks the full, like sweeps around the world, all these different exercises, glute bridges that are going to focus only on the glutes.
Cause when you're doing squats and when you're doing quads and when you're doing. Lunges and deadlifts you're gonna be working and, and it's good to have other muscles, like, I'm not saying as a trainer, I would advise everybody to SWAT in deadlift and to, you know, lunge and stuff. However, I'm just giving the options for people who don't work out, who are getting the BBL.
Just an easy five to 10 minute maintenance plan here. Get yourself some ankle weights. Yeah. So just like go grab some ankle weights, you know, keep in the kitchen of the living room when you wake up or every day, strap them up and do like a hundred kickbacks per you know, easy done. Booties popping lose are engaged and you're not even go to the gym sweating.
Right. So. But yeah, at the end of the day, you gotta, you gotta do something with the glute muscles to keep them active because you gotta, you know, it's gonna make your BBL like way better, way better. And to me, if, if you're gonna do the BBL, like if you're gonna get it done, then like, it's like, you know, it's like why I wore braces.
Like when I got my braces off, I just didn't let my teeth go to shit, you know? Right. If anything, I kept extra good care of them. I, I brushed like three times a day cause I got white teeth because I went through. You know, I'm sure, like, you know, I don't know how the recoveries with it, but it's not easy.
Yeah. Right. Like it's a big procedure. Right. So it's like one of those things where it's like, you know, when you get it and you've gone through it and you're healed, it's like, let's work hard to make it look outstanding. Yeah. Course. And that's what you guys do, man. You guys make. That's outstanding, but you can get it too.
Just doing glued isolation. So, yeah. So, you know, with the podcast, what I do is I want my girls to be better patients and part of being a better patient and me too, I wanna be a better patient is taking care of your results. The surgeon can only do so much after your home. You're healed. I mean, I've had girls come back a year later and set be upset because they looked the same, but they did not take care of themselves.
They didn't change their eating habits. No, they gained 20 pounds. And now we're here back again where we were. So that's not what you wanna do. You wanna, if you're investing $18,000, $25,000, even 15, 10, any money that you're investing into your procedure? You have to protect and take care of your investment.
So part of that is working out. You have to work out to maintain and protect your investment. You know, think that like, I, it's just, it's a investment and it's, and you know, it's big thing to, you know, through, that's why you just, you know, use that as a motivation. I think that's a good motivating thing because yeah, like, you know, it's not a magic fix.
I've been in this industry a really, really long time. And, you know, being, you know, in front of like, I've seen like a lot of people, for example, you know, it's like the same thing as like getting fat removal or lipo suctions. Like if you're gonna, you know, if you get that and then all of a sudden you keep eating, like shit, we're not fixing, that's not, that's gonna fix the problem.
Or it's like, You know, you it's exactly. You know, if you're getting one, you know, if you're not treat your skin nicely, you know, and that's where diet and nutrition's really important. Like I'm actually gonna be coming out with a really cool book on it's like early in, in the works of it, but it's gonna be basically a booty building Bible, you know, of like, that's what we, cause that's part of my question here.
What am I supposed to eat while I'm working while I'm working my booty out? How? Cause I do a lot stuff online. This is a really great question. And I don't know how long we have on this podcast. Cause I could just talk for another like five hours about this subject alone. well, we have 30 minutes, 30 more minutes.
I will say this. I will say this. So this was always a fun thing where I, when I was a trainer, cause I was a trainer for about nine years. So I, I dealt with a lot of different case studies and a lot of women would come to me and they'd say, Nu, I want to grow my booty. And I wanna shrink my waist. That was probably the most common thing I heard me too.
And at the end of the day, to be honest, that is not something that you can actually really do. like, because growing muscle getting bigger, like requires a certain strategy. So if I wanna get bigger and this is like, this is like, dude, this is like, cause I'm a body builder. So like for example, in body building, we have bulking phases, seasons, and we have cutting seasons.
Right? Like you can't get bigger. And get leaner at the same time that doesn't, that doesn't make like, I mean, that just doesn't make sense, right? Like how am I supposed to get bigger and stay leaner? Right. So inevitably, when you are trying to build, when you're trying to get bigger, the thing is, is like you will be putting on a little bit of body fat because there's gonna be a surplus in calories.
You're gonna be trading a little bit heavier. But you're gonna be eating a lot more. Now I say this very, very, you hear this is you can definitely control the amount of fat that you gain in a bulk because I eat very clean. And when I actually am bulking, I'm actually not gaining a lot of fat. I'm actually gaining mostly muscle and mostly water from the higher carb intake and very minimal fat.
I'm not sitting to go out and eat shitty fast food processed foods because on a. You can definitely stay tight. I never let myself get fat ever. But when I'm bulking, you know, I'm keeping my food tight and I just look a lot bigger. So right now, for example, I'm about 250 pounds and I'm quite big. And that's why by booties 47 inches, you know, because I've been able to really get a good bulk where I've been eating really healthy, been training really hard and heavy and consistent.
I've been able to add about three inches to my booty. And I'd say in the last, honestly like six, five, maybe four months due, just like yeah. Really focused training. Right. Because what happens is once you grow that muscle, then cause I'm gonna be going to Mexico for the winter, you know, probably around October, November is when I'll start to cut.
And that's where you start to kind of just lose the body fat. You're gonna bring the calories back, but now you have that built booty under there. So even as you get leaner, the booty's gonna start to look even bigger. Right. So that is like really important where it's like, I think that, and what's really cool as well is I've seen this trend happening and I love it because I'm a sick boy and people love like we're, but we're, we're coming into more of an era where people want to be sicker than shredded and lean.
You know, like it's, it's sexy. It sexy to be sexy to have curves. Yeah. You know what I mean? I like, so it's like, so embrace that side of it. Cause it's easy to get lean. It's hard to build muscle, but basically either nutshell when it comes to nutrition, you know, there's, this is just such a big topic, but I'll say this, I'll say this be very wary of everything you're hearing.
We are living in a society where there. So much information and so many opinions. It's like, dude, there's like fucking new diets every day. Right? There's like you have your like carnivore diets. You have your hardcore vegans. There's fasting. There's there's six meals a day. There's PEs, keto, paleo. I'm like, yo holy shit.
Like. Bro. It's like, and you gotta remember when it comes to nutrition, the golden rule is that your food is all nutrient based, real food. Like that's the golden rule, right? Like, right. You have to your Bo your body needs nutrients. So your body needs foods. Like I always say this, it's gotta be single ingredient foods.
Right. So apple. Banana spinach, chicken, rice, you know, like orange, like it's one ingredient. Like this is what it eat. , you know, mm-hmm if you pick up like a package, like pick up a protein bar and read the ingredients, dude, like, I mean, half of them, I can't even pronou out. It's like, I, you know what I mean?
So that is not real, right. So you want to do your best to eat as real food as you can, because that is gonna be the most amount of nutrients and your body's going to be able to utilize. When you eat a lot of processed, fake artificial foods, your body doesn't, what's it gonna do with that? It's gonna either use it as energy.
If you have a good metabolism or it's gonna store as fat. So like when I'm vaulting, I am eating about five to 6,000 calories a day, which is a lot. But it's 6,000 calories of nutrient dense food that is helping me get bigger and stronger and leaner. If I was to eat 6,000 calories worth of fast food, you know, restaurant like whatever, like, you know, McDonald, whatever, you know, like if I was to eat 6,000 calories, Of like processed fake foods of cheeseburgers that, yeah.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So that's super important, but I think there's, this is always a really big question because I'm not on here to say there's no right or wrong. Like there's like the thing is, is when you hear people speak about nutrition, they're going to really say and talk about what's working for them currently.
Right? Like if I go talk to a vegan or I go talk to someone who does fasting, or I talk to someone who does, you know, a keto based diet, you're gonna hear all the great things about it cause it's working for them. Right. So the job for you is you have to ask yourself what is going to be sustainable.
There's the sustainability and the consistency that will give you the results that you want and where people go so wrong. In this, especially with starting a fitness journey, is they try to implement all of these healthy habits, right. Outta the gates, which they don't have implemented. For example, if someone comes into me and they wanna make a big lifestyle transformation, and they're currently not working out, they're currently not aware of their nutrition and they have to pour sleep habits.
Like if we go in there and start train six days a week, put 'em on a straight meal plan and get 'em in bed at 10, they would literally blow up. just like you can't like the body doesn't build habits that way you have to pick and choose. So if like for nutrition, let's say, for example, let's say you're someone who eats out.
Maybe a good starting point would be to why don't we, you know, no eating out from Monday to Friday, you have to have all your home cooked meals from Monday to Friday, you know, and that's something that's gonna be doable. You know, maybe if that's too much, then maybe we have to really say, where are we eating out?
So no fast foods, only restaurants where you can order salads or, you know, whatever. So you have to. Your goals and habits that you're trying to build very realistic, because if you try to do something that's not realistic and crazy and extreme, you're not gonna be able to last. And I saw so many people through this keto trend, jump on Tito for like two to three weeks to lose 10 pounds and get excited, but really understand that it's just water, weight, and then start to understand that ketos are very intense, extremely eating so and unfold, you know?
So it's like, you gotta. Be really intelligent about this and be more intuitive. I'm an intuitive eat. So I'm asking myself when I'm eating, how do I feel? Am I full? Am I satisfied? You know, like eat foods that don't make me feel good. Right. So intuitive is a really great way to train. And I, I, I deal with a lot with nutrition too.
I'm more than just a booty, but like I do, I deal with a lot of emotional and binge eating because eating is a whole, you know, eating is something that we. Teach our use. And it should be the most important thing because all of our mental health problems, all, all of our. Things that we deal with in our life are due to not eating properly.
Anyway, that's a whole segment on that. Absolutely. And you know what? I'm so happy you went into this because changing your, I call it making lifestyle changes. It's not just, you're gonna start working out and you're gonna go hard forever. You're changing your lifestyle. So you're making slowly changes. To the way you do things the way you think about food, what you think about when you're hungry, you're making changes to how active you are and it's in the perfect plan.
It would be a very fast process where you do it from one day to another, but that's not how it works. You need to do it slowly. And that's why I tell my girls when they're getting ready for surgery. I want them to start making lifestyle changes six months to a year before their surgery. So by the time they get there, the results that they'll have are results that they're gonna be able to maintain because they've already made the adjustments to their diet.
They've already started working out they're, you know, it's not like it's gonna kickstart M but for some women it does. For some women, it does take. Having plastic surgery and seeing yourself in the mirror and loving it and being like, okay, I'm never gonna lose this. What do I have to do now? And a lot of women do do that who make lifestyle changes after surgery hundred percent.
You know, I, I think it's a great thing to point out too, that when you're physically fit, your body is going be operat. At the highest level it can. And what I mean by that, it's gonna heal fast. It's gonna have great energy. Right? So for example, when I was dealing with a lot of pre and postnatals, so like for a women who was about to have a child, if you're, if you're gonna have a child, man, get in the gym as much as you can, because a lot of women gain a lot of weight through pregnancy.
Right. And then when they have the kid, they have all that extra weight really mm-hmm the kid like, like when you have a, when you're having a baby. Technically speaking, you should go right back to what you were because the baby will be gone. And that's it, all that extra weight gain. And a lot of women, I hate to say, and I'm just gonna call like it is, you know, make excuses.
And gain a lot of weight through the pregnancy and I get it cuz you know what, I'm I'm, I'm not a woman. And I understand that there's a lot of hormonal swings that happen, that promote cravings and that kinda thing. I can only imagine what having pregnancies like. However, what I am trying to say is if you aren't able to, in that time, get dedicated and build a really healthy lifestyle.
Once you have the baby, you're gonna go right back to that way. And the same thing with the BBL in the sense, it's not like this buildup, cause you're just gonna go get the surgery. But I will say that after the procedure's done. If you're going into it physically. You're gonna heal a lot faster, you know, you're, you're gonna be able to train a lot quicker.
I dunno what the recovery time is exactly. But if you go into it outta shape and you go into it, not really feeling great, you know, then your body's gonna take a lot of time to heal. And then at that point, you know, you just want to, you want to like, It's it's getting head start. It's getting a head start.
Absolutely. Right. And like the thing is, it's like, too, it's like for a second, it's like, we're talking about being physically active and eating healthy. Like, those are just two things that like, people let's go like, what do we like? I mean, dude, you have life. Like life is like, Like life is so precious.
Right? It's so precious. Let me tell you something you don't think, hold on. Yeah. Let me tell you something. I, 100% agree and I feel like I've been on the other side where I'm like, yeah. It's so like it's I felt, would feel so lazy to get up and get ready to go work out. My day was so busy with work. I would get home.
I have kids, I have to cook dinner. I have to do homework. I have to do this. I have to do that. And I just would say, I just don't have. Now I've been able to make more time because my schedule has changed, but a lot of women don't have the time. So what are some exercises, some booty building waste, thinning exercises they can do at home.
Like for example, I can get away from my kids and put them in another room for 45 minutes, but I can't leave my house and go to the gym. Yeah. And you know what, and I'm gonna tell you that. And I think one, one more point on that, cause you brought a really good point is just like priorities and Navi my big life mission.
Like this is the biggest life mission. And I said it at the start is to get people the number one thing that you need to do, if you wanna live a very enriched high vibrational. You have to take care of yourself first. So it doesn't matter about the job. It doesn't matter about the relationships. It doesn't matter.
Like, like even the kids, like, and I know even for like, everything is secondary to your wellbeing. Why do people get plastic surgery? To improve their confidence, how you improve your confidence is to keep your promises that you make with yourself. And it's by treating yourself with a lot of love by taking care of yourself, by working out by eating healthy by meditation, by going for walks, connecting with nature, doing things that are going to enhance your self esteem, your self confidence.
Cause once you take care of yourself, once you love. Then you will love everyone else so much more. Right? That's the thing is people neglect their own needs and put everyone else's before theirs. And then like, you know, you can't give love if you don't have love. So self love is Nuro UNO, and that is why it's so, so important that you take the time and making a priority.
Even if it's for 10 or 15 minutes to do something for yourself in terms of your physical, mental, and emotional need. But I know that a lot of people are busy. And I know for example, if you do have children, because I have the privilege of like being around kids and I know how much work, the beautiful work it is.
But it's all about really just like time management, because you don't need a lot of time and home workouts are a great thing to do. Just getting a, an easy set, like a five to 10 to 15 to 20 pound dumbbells, the ankle weights, the booty straps, booty bands. You can have a great home booty workout, you know, in 10 to 15 minutes, if you actually head over to my YouTube channel, my YouTube channel, I'm dedicating it.
To home booty workouts. If it's no equipment, if it's dumbbells or bands stay tuned. Cause there's gonna be a lot of great material on there for easy five, 10 to 15 minute home booty workouts. That's perfect. But yeah, I mean, I think at the end of the day, it's, you know, wait, wait before we wait, wait, wait, tell us the YouTube channel name.
It's just Nu everything is Nuy N U N Z. Or you guys say Z, so N U N Z, Z. I, I, I three. Kind of, uh, it's an interesting name NUE, but it's always been my nickname. My last name is Nuta so I'm Italian. Oh, well that's cool. Okay. So run over to the YouTube channel and you'll see. Yeah. Check out Nu on YouTube, booty workouts, we got the booty booty Popp and on the, in the whole workouts, but, uh, yeah, I mean, like I said, there's, there's doing, doing a lot of the glued isolation work you can easily do at.
When it comes to core exercises. So this is actually interesting and a great point to bring up here when it comes to your core, your, your core is very, very, very important to having a big booty. I cannot stress that enough. You could have a 30 inch booty and it look really big if you have a small enough waste, like the keeping the waste small is imperative because, and this is for men as well.
Like it doesn't matter. Like if you have a small waste. Your chest and back will look bigger. If you have a small waist, your booty and legs will look bigger. So like everything, like you might have a 47 inch peach, but if you have like a 40, you know, two inch waist, I mean, like that's not, you know what I'm saying?
So it's like, you gotta the, you know, the waist sizes there important now, obviously your waist size is gonna really be due to your nutrition, you know, because like most people store body. In their midsections actually women. Typically now it's all genetically different. Typically women store, body fat in their thighs and then their booties.
And then in their arms, that's more of a men to tend to store that more in the, in the stomach area, as well as like the face, you know, but that's all genetics, but what I, but basically when you're training your core, there's two fundamental things to think about. There's the rest of Dom, which is the actual six pack muscle.
That's that like, you know, the, the six pack that you see now, if you want a small waste. You actually don't need to necessarily focus on the practice as much as the transverse of dominance, which is gonna be used to keep waste small. So if you actually are looking at keeping the waste small it's things like the AB vacuum planking side, planking, anything that's gonna force your stomach.
Like, like right now, just suck your stomach in and just try, keep like, suck your belly button into your spine right now and just hold it, doing that. Yeah, I'm doing it and just hold it, like see, like, so I walk around every. Especially if I'm doing photo shoots, like if I'm on, like, I gotta just hold my cord in as much as I can, you know, but that's training the muscle to keep your waist tight.
So by doing actually things like sit up and leg raises, those are important, then I highly suggest you do them, but you gotta make sure that you're keeping your abs sucked in and you're not pushing your AB out. A lot of people don't actually train core correctly. Because they're pushing their AB out as they're training them.
So you're built like you wanna keep everything tight. Oh yeah. That's why you have to put, that's why you put your fingers right here. Right. When you're doing a sit up, make sure you're keeping it. Yeah. Make sure. Well, basically the best, the best way, what I do, like the best metal cue that I use is belly button.
The spine. So I'm always just trying to think. I'm always just visualizing, like, bring my belly button closer to my spine. And that's just like, for me, that's when I'm, if I'm doing crunches, if I'm doing leg raises, like, you know, that's what I'm focused on. It's belly button spine. Beautiful. Hey, tell us before we jump off, what are some of the best leg workouts first for nice, like nice toed.
Legs, not super muscular. Just, yeah. Yeah. Very toed. Yeah. No, a hundred percent. I love training the legs. I think legs are so beautiful on a man or a woman. And, uh, the thing is, is all the leg exercises are important. They all serve a purpose. I think though, if you wanna have beautiful legs, I really suggest isolated like movements.
So like lunging and single leg. Deadlifting. And like single leg, hip lifting. Like when you do comp, when you squat, for example, I guarantee you that you are not even consciously aware of it, but you are pushing and engaging more with one side. So maybe your right side dominant, maybe you push more with your right side and that those imbalances will happen over time.
I rarely squatter deadly. I, I am always lunging. Lunging is such a great exercise for the boot. The Bulgarian split squat is another form of a lunge where your foot's elevated the back. Foot's elevated. The single leg. Deadlift is one of the best. The hip lift is one of the best, like, I mean, we're talking pancakes to peaches here, you know, when understanding how to do it correctly.
But I think that overall training in a. Four to six set range and then keeping the reps at least 15 plus I am not a low rep guy. I think that the higher reps, the better, a lot more blood flow. Good. That was one of my questions. Yeah. Yeah. High, like I'll do like on the cable kick outs and stuff. 50 reps sets.
Okay. Good to know. Yeah. Just cause like I. I mean what a great chat this has been. I know this been amazing. I know my girls are gonna be so happy. We go back to, I think, earlier on in the conversation about how the number one priority is when you're training muscles is that you have to have that tension.
You have to have that activation. And what happens is when you go heavy, like too heavy, you lose that because your body is trying to help itself out by overcompensating with other muscles. And that is like the biggest thing I've seen wrong, man. And you know, I go to the gym every single day and I go to the gym and I see people working out and just listen way too heavy.
And they're not activating the muscles. Right. And then anything they're putting their self rich for injuries. So, you know, it's like, don't, you know, leave the ego at the door, just leave the ego at home, all around in your life. But anyway, it's like one of those things where it's just like, learn how to engage your glutes, engage the muscle, do a lot of isolated work, high reps, feel the bird, like feel the burn in the boot.
There's there's no better feeling in the world Navi than a booty bird. you know, that, that's what I live for. I love it. Okay. So for girls who wanna go do some of your booty workouts, how can they find you? Yeah. Okay. So I would say checkout. So the main three or the Instagram, the TikTok in the YouTube, it's all.
Nuy right. So N Z, Z. I, I. But basically it's like the talk is gonna have a lot of great short, quick material. So if you just want some inspiration for, you know, a workout in the gym, some home workouts, you know, you'll get to 15 to 32nd reels. There's also a lot of like little breakdowns on there. However, the YouTube is gonna have the longer based content where you can actually do the workouts with me.
I do also logging in the gym, so I've logged different booty days, you know? So the, you know, obviously there's a big difference between training and the gym between training at home. So depending on the, you know, the person there's, oh, that's the both worlds on there. And I'm gonna be coming out with a lot more booty based content on the YouTube.
So that's what I'm dedicating it towards. You know, I have, I'm really proud of it. It's a really fair price too. It's like a great deal. It's like, dude, it's 14 to 99, but basically I have a booty training act. So I've had it for about a year and a half. I'm really proud of it, cuz it basically has all of my booty workouts and I'm constantly adding to the app.
So it's a subscription base, you know, you sign up for 1, 3, 6 months to a year. And, uh, yeah, you get access to right now. I think there's six, 12 week programs. There's like eight standalone workouts and I'm constantly adding workouts to them. So I'm like home body, weight, gym workouts, dumbbell workouts, 10 bell workouts, like booty, booty mania at booty training mania.
So it's like, cool, man. So that's beautiful. Yeah. So you can get that that's in any of my, in my bios. Yeah. I think, I think I'll give you my link. Uh, my, my website or. Yeah, you have access to that. We'll put, and then I'm also working on the I'm working on the booty, the booty Bible then. So , you know, that that'll be coming out hopefully soon, but I'm excited about that because that's gonna go into.
The best exercise is how to eat for a booty, you know how to activate it. Right? So more of like a manual than that actual, you know, workout. So when you come out with that, you have to come back on the show and give us a discount code. Give us a coupon. Oh dude. I'm just gonna everyone that gets a, a BBL procedure from, uh, you guys will get a free copy.
Y'all heard it here. Y'all heard it here. well, thank you so much for coming on this show. So happy. I think we got so many good answers to my questions and I think this is a good start. Yeah.
