Your Ultimate Guide Inside!

Get ready to elevate your workouts and sculpt your lower body like never before! Our latest guide dives deep into the anatomy of the gluteus maximus, revealing the secrets to unlocking the full potential of your glutes.

Understanding Your Glutes


The glutes are divided into upper and lower regions, each playing a unique role in different movement patterns.

  • Lower Glutes: Hip Extension(hip thrusts, deadlifts, and squats).

  • Upper Glutes: Hip external rotation and abduction (side to sides, clamshells, cable hip abduction).

Volume Recommendation: Finding Your Perfect Balance
Ever wondered about the ideal volume for glute growth? Unfortunately, there isn’t any research on fiber typing for the glutes. So the best thing to do is aim for balance.

  • Frequency: Train your glutes 2-3 times per week

  • Sets: 3-4 sets per workout

  • Reps: Train heavy once per week at 4-8 reps. Your other sessions should be lighter. Either 8-12 reps or 12-15 reps.
