Just crawl out of bed and unlock your glutes two times per week. No big deal! “Unlocking” is the new buzzword I’ve been seeing lately, usually from physical therapists that so badly want to be personal trainers and strength coaches that they start telling people that stretching is more important than lifting for hypertrophy. It’s not. Yes it’s good to do. But it won’t prevent the fact that you’ll need to get very strong at the basics if you want to build a booty. Squats. Thrusts. Deadlifts. Lung

Watch coach @jamiederevere demo’ing extra range side lying hip raises. Make sure the extra ROM comes somewhat through hip adduction ( which stretches the upper glutes) and not just spinal rotation (which doesn’t). | Bret Contreras

Glute circuits don’t make much sense to me because they’ll produce general systemic aerobic gains but not local gluteal hypertrophic gains. You could get the same cardiovascular gains doing anything similarly challenging. Methinks people would do these for the glute gains, not realizing that you wouldn’t be creating a growth stimulus. But these exercises are all fire 🔥 👌🏽 | Bret Contreras
