Our culture is in a butt renaissance right now, and for good reason. The mainstreaming of hip-hop and the rise of the Kardashians highlighted a big round butt as a beaty standard for women.

Ozempic Butt — Get Your Glutes Back: 12 Ways to Rebuild Your Backside

Ever see someone without a butt? I have. It’s usually an old white guy who has never purposefully exercised after his high-school sports career was over. But more and more, it’s been happening to all sorts of people. People who wanted weight loss but have lost more than they bargained for — their asses.

A common side effect of rapid weight loss starting to get more attention thanks to social media communities on TikTok and Instagram. What is now being called “Ozempic Butt,” is what happens when someone rapidly loses weight without their body hanging onto muscle tone.

Lifting Tempos: How to Move Weights Better and Get More Out of Strength Training

Anyone who is even mildly interested in fitness has probably seen a gym fail video or two. If you haven’t, let me tell you what you’re missing. Imagine a montage of video clips showing people flailing around with a set of dumbbells, lifting too much weight with bad form, or just convulsing on a machine that wasn’t supposed to be used that way. Some of them are pretty hilarious, but a lot of them show people getting injured. The first few times I saw one, I thought it was pretty funny, but now I just find them a little bit mean and sad.
