How to Effectively Train and Build Glutes

 

 

• Work in different planes of motion to activate all glute muscles (gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, and gluteus medius).  Movements include hip abduction and hip extension.
• Focus on bigger compound movements for more sets (4-5). These include: deadlifts, squats, hip thrust, lunges, and step-ups.
• Perform mostly heavy sets with the compound movements.  Use lower weight with higher reps for isolation movements like leg abduction, fire hydrants, band or cable pull-through, frog pumps to achieve “burn-outs”.
• Perform exercises fast (but controlled) most of the time.  But also add in some slowed down eccentric lifting.
• Add “booty bands” to add resistance to glutes.
• Train glutes/legs 2-3 times per week.
