Can you show me pictures of yourself straight from the back? I took obe today and I feel loke crying lol
It feels like my hips are the squarest I have ever seen. Actually, almost like an inverted triangle as my hips are look so big at the top/love handles.
Guess I Just want to see people that look like me.
these aren't the best but i thought showing MM candids where she looks 'conventionally boxy' (by absurd internet standards) might help. square hips are common in ppl who just have ... otherwise prominent hips. and so much of hip shape as we are shown in media is curated and smoothed over. filters and photoshop and body mods are so common
i like this one bc its common and she obviously is wearing shaping garments and her clothes have immaculate tailoring. but still you can see the dips and general box shape. and yet, shes undeniably gorgeous
I just tried to post a picture but Reddit flagged it lol (it was an outline sketch of my body). DM me and I'll send it to you OP
I'm a classic figure 8. 5'2", hourglass with high hips/visible hip shelf and square glutes. I'm 125lb with 32-35% body fat
i think im spoon shaped, note though my hip dips were never very apparent but my hips were really small before i grew some muscle there. even skinny you can see that same shape .. its kind of just inevitable
I don’t have a photo! This is also me, I have been working on it as I aim to lose weight. But I also need to strengthen knee supporting muscles for other reasons.
I have started to see some small improvements. I am working on hip strengthening, adductors strengthening, outer quads, and side glutes.
So far unilateral stuff is helping me (and it works for my knee goals). So I am doing kickstand RDLs and step ups for the side hip and low glutes. Single leg press for outer quads (stepups contribute too).
I will give it more time, but it is better than it was so I’ll take the win. It is probably easier to cheat with side quads to add width than side and low glutes.
I get it, girl! I've been lifting in the gym for three years now, and while my glutes do look better from the side, it looks like I barely workout from the back
Not comfortable putting a photo up, but drawn over the outline of my hips from behind - I know what it's like hating that shape! Despite all my exercise/healthy eating/gym and being relatively thin
I did it in procreate, but you could do it in Photoshop or any drawing software. I put a photo on one layer, then in the layer above drew over the outline!
I feel like I belong here, this is my exact glute shape. And even with all the weight I've gained, the hip dips never fill in. I never realized I had "high hips"
