Muscular size is not just a matter of how you train. It also critically includes your genetic endowment, diet, and rest and recovery. When training, use the heaviest possible weights without losing perfect exercise technique for the greatest muscular size. Think of the difference in response to, for example, curling a pencil 1000 times and curling a 40 lbs. dumbbell 10 times. The former won't do anything for the size of your biceps, whereas the latter may.

Using Weights Exercise to Tone and Lose Fat?
It is a commonly held misconception that using weights is only for people who want to get big, bulky muscles. This turns a lot of people off from using weights entirely, and this is a very negative thing. The fact is that weight training is absolutely vital to proper toning and weight loss, but you have to use a different approach. Instead of using heavy weights with low reps, you should use lighter weights with higher reps. When you do this, you are activating more muscles over a longer interval of time. This not only tones the muscle, but burns the fat around it.

Even if you use weights to tone your butt you won't make it larger as long as you stick with lighter weights (or no weights) and more repetitions.
