I had Bret Contreras on the Swole Radio Podcast to discuss glute training. Bret, aka the Glute Guy, is the original expert in glute hypertrophy. We talk about:

3:07 anatomy and function of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus

10:10 main exercise categories to include

15:33 favorite movements for each category

21:23 thrust vs. squat type movements

32:47 optimal frequency for glute training

36:15 best glute specialization splits

43:15 what if you can’t feel your glutes?

52:39 progression with band movements?

56:52 future studies on Bret’s wish list

Check out work from Bret and the Glute Lab
