Welcome!
So glad you’re here 💌
I’m not here to overwhelm you with fluff. Instead, to provide you the best tips, cut through the BS, and help you build the body you want.
Squats are great, but they mostly hit your quads and hamstrings. If you want to grow your glutes, you need to train them directly — with smart activation, the right movements, and consistent progression.
Let’s talk about mobility and activation. Sitting too much or tight hips can shut your glutes down. A quick dynamic warm-up can help you feel and use your glutes in every rep.
Glute Activation (Do this before your workout):
Hip Flexor to Hamstring Stretch – 6 reps per leg
Forward Lunges – 10 reps per leg
Single-Leg Hip Rotations – 8 rotations per leg
Leg Swings (Front-to-Back) – 15 swings per leg
Glute-Focused Strength Training:
Barbell Hip Thrusts – 3–4 sets of 8–12
Romanian Deadlifts – 3–4 sets of 8–10
Bulgarian Split Squats – 3 sets of 8–10 per leg
Cable Clamshells – 2–3 sets of 12–15 per side
Try it this week and let me know how it goes. For balance, make one day all about glute isolation, and another a full lower-body day that hits quads, hamstrings, and glutes with a glute-first approach. We’ll be sharing the full routine soon.
If this helped you feel more confident, send it to a friend who needs it. And if you have questions, just reply.
Talk soon,
Dulc
