Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about glutes training

What is the best exercise for glute growth?

Hip thrusts, squats, and Romanian deadlifts are the most effective for glute development. Hip thrusts provide peak contraction at the top.

How often should I train glutes?

Glutes can handle 2-4 training sessions per week. They recover relatively quickly and respond well to higher frequency training.

Why aren't my glutes growing?

Common issues include not feeling the glutes work (poor activation), insufficient progressive overload, or too much quad-dominant training.
