I workout my glutes 3 days a week. My glutes have grown so much since doing RDL,S & Hip Thrusts. I also have added more protein in my diet & I'm loving my results. My body looks amazing. I also use Creatin everyday as well. Great episode!💗
Ladies. Sumo deadlifts work mostly the inner thighs. Conventional deadlifts work the entire leg, glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Romanian Deadlifts work mostly your hamstrings and glutes. Remember this key, the Deadlift of any kind is a push not a pull. If you pull you work your upper body which would be wrong technique, pushing your feet in the ground doing deadlifts is when you work your legs. Arms are just straps hanging on to the bar. If you feeling it in your back you are totally disengage the legs and defeat the purpose of doing deadlifts .
@@PinkelefantZ3 its like an uplifting phrase or compliment for people who has big thighs 😁 or wanting to build thick thighs (in my case) & its a good sign of health and great for athletes to support them in sports 😌
@@PinkelefantZ3 also in america alot times thick is misused for fat people lol. Its the female version of dudes who say "theyre big" but really both types of people are just 40lbs overweight. Dudes who are 240lbs and bench 240 for 3 reps and barely do a few pullups and say theyre "big and muscular". I used to be one of those guys so i have expertise in this.
@@davidverdugo6266 Yeah, same with "curvy". I'm 5'7.5, 135lbs, weight lift (of course), and my measurements are 35-26-39. I consider myself "curvy", but if I EVER say that I get made fun of because "curvy means plus-sized". Like wtf??? Can fit people not have curves? If you ask me, fit people are the most likely group to be curvy.
Started off wanting to get bigger shoulders, biceps, chest etc. Started your fully body dumbbell routine about 2 months ago and the walking lunges started growing my glutes. Wife complemented them and said they were her favorite. So uh yeah, here I am now a dude trying to grow them judie cakes! Hahaha thank you guys!
Another fruitful episode and well laid out. I grew up with back issues, wearing braces for years, and finally discovered developing my posterior chain and glutes brought pain relief. Building isn’t easy with my frame (tall) but I’m working towards it. Being a woman I feel people think you’re doing it for aesthetics with everything trending now, but there is a physiologic reason for their development. Great job gentleman!
This episode was released at the perfect time. I’m switching up my programming after these past 6 weeks and finally have the confidence and mind muscle connection to start loading the bar with my hip thrusts and now going to try to focus on my squats. Squats are definitely going to be a novel stimulus to my body because I’ve avoided them like the plague. LOL ! This episode gave me confidence in where I should go next with my exercises. You guys never fail to deliver, thank you for all the information you guys give. You’ve truly changed how I treat exercising overall and my nutrition Your podcast is truly underrated 💪
Wow… I’ve been doing it all. 3x a week deads, squats, thrusts, plus unilateral and and weighted isolation moves. I’ve seen results but I’m gonna rethink it now because yes I’m probably overdoing it. But I will say that I STARTED, having never worked out, with moves like kickbacks and fire hydrants and bridges. That did help me to connect to my glutes and I did see results and build strength + balance, which allowed me to continue forward into these greater movements. I was an absolute potato when I started. My quads have always seemed dominant and I couldn’t get my glutes to do anything- so those “isolation” moves did help for sure! Like they said… So don’t fret if that’s where you’re starting. They do have value, at least for me they did. But this is all good advice and very helpful, I am thankful and going to experiment with a lot of this advice and see how I can refine my workouts to get more bang for my buck, so to speak. Thanks!!
I went from my glutes being a weak body part to one of my strongest body parts in the last 3 years by focusing on wide stance Smith machine squats, Romanian dumbell deadlines and hyper extensions with heals together toes outward. I am now 50 years old (male) with great glutes I found they grow easy I just didn't train them properly before.
Hey I just tried your tip for having my heals together and toes outward🤯. ..Holy shit just that small tweak I can feel a difference. Thankyou Thankyou 🙏🏽 for this😘
I dont do a glutes focused workout, but this has been a great episode. Plenty of good info in here. This is why I like to watch every video all the way through even when it's not on a topic I think applies to me.
Love listening to you guys everyday! My genetics did not gift me with any glutes. In fact I’m pretty sure my parents have inverted asscheeks lmao. They go inwards. I call going to the gym for leg/glute day going to “build a butt workshop”😂 Ive made a lot of progress with building my legs and glutes, but I’d love to start on one of your programs soon😁😁
I've hit a plateau in my squats and didn't consider that an imbalance could be the cause. Definitely going to try that out. Thanks guys, great and informative as always!

Romanian deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, walking lunges are also all great in my opinion! They put a great stretch on the glutes which seems to be more hypertrophic. Also glute ham raise/hyperextension/reverse hypers are great for people worried about spinal loading

Loved this. I’ve tried everything since I hold most of my fat in my lower body. I’ve noticed that when I upped my protein and focused and doing squats and deadlifts properly slow and controlled have worked the most for me.

Thank you once again, the way you all communicate the Information makes you have that “Aha” moment and really puts everything into perspective!
Im short as well and I have to eat and move my body differently than my taller friends. its hard for me to eat enough to grow the muscle because I get full so fast. I also have to use plates to make myself taller so Im able to bend over more and feel my glutes activate. For example, I do sumo squats with a dumbbells, I don't feel my glutes fire until I get low enough for the dumbbell to touch the floor. At that point my butt HAS to engage in order for me to lift it back up because im too low for my legs to help anymore. (if that makes sense) My taller friends dont have to squat that low to feel it. working out too much, like 7 days a week mentioned in the top comment and over doing cardio is why a lot of woman do not grow their butt. You become tired, sore, and wonder why your not making any progress and want to eat all the time. Its too much. You have to rest, you have to eat, and you can't be scared to push past your limits AT LEAST twice a week. The rest of the week do something you like thats chill... Im on the treadmill right now just watching youtube, and thats what I do 75% of the time. I look like I work out all the time, and I don't. @@evec2022
@@bre6651 Hmm I wonder if there IS something about height that makes it more difficult to build muscle! I bet it's the fact that our calorie demands are lower but there is a minimum amount of protein needed by the body to maintain function and it's significantly higher than what is being touted as "minimal" by the Health departments all over the world. I don't do any cardio besides walking to do my errands, so 90% of what I do in the gym is strength training. I mostly lift in the 4-6 rep range but will do sessions in the 12-15 rep range every week. I have no trouble gaining strength it seems, just not size.
Yes if you are shorter/smaller so is your stomach so if you are trying to gain size you literally have to force yourself to eat as if you are not small. Height is definitely a factor. For example if you ever been around very tall skinny men/woman who eat like cows but stay thin? its because they are so tall they burn more calories at rest to keep their engine going. Its a lot easier for them to eat and eat. I can't remember her name but there is a short body builder here on RUclips that talks about the science of being little and trying to workout/lose fat.@@evec2022
Came here from @missfitandnerdy and I'm so glad! After 3 years of different trainings and programs that went nowhere, I thought I know a thing or two. Butt, this has been a very humbling experience listening to your show! Consider me a new addition to your massive 353k follower group!
This is super helpful for me. As someone whose never worked out in her 37 years of life I decided this year is my year. I’ve been having trouble connecting to the glutes. I’m working on hip mobility and such, which is helpful.
Since listening to the podcast I’ve started squatting more frequently for skill acquisition (alternating heavier with lighter days to reduce injury risk). Thanks for empowering us all through educating!!
5’4, 155lbs, started my strength training journey December of 2022, so I’m still a beginner. Have been working my glutes 3 days a week and till this day have not incorporated hip thrusts due to not knowing proper positioning and fear of it affecting my Diastasis Recti from a C-Section birth. Thank you for uploading this video and providing this helpful information. I have to do more research on diastasis recti friendly flute exercises.
Definitely been focusing on my glutes and legs the last few years and I have been paid in full with both how my lower body looks and my improved sports performance.
I've never had a more timely video in my life. A couple days ago, I added "glutes" to my workout plan for tonight and had just sat down to figure out how to do that when this notification popped up.
Been a listener since episode 1 female fitness myths exposed, you 3 changed my life and gave me a passion to help others in fitness and pursue a career in physical therapy and personal training. Will always tune in to some good old mind pump with my 3 amigos!
I'm finally at a place in my fitness life where my diet is down and I've been so consistent with my workouts. I'm not afraid of muscle, and love to lift heavy. I'm excited for the body changes that are happening, fiiinally it really sunk in that it's all up to me to get things done. I'm building confidence every day in the gym and kitchen. Basically I've been on a 20 year bulk, poor diet has been such a distraction and hindrance. After my dad passed recently from being an unhealthy diabetic on paper for 30 years, it lit a fire under my butt to not waste any more time. Cheers guys, so much knowledge here. Xo
Shout out from Saudi Arabia!! 🇸🇦. In Saudi, we don't have mixed gyms, either female or male. I'm a woman and got certificatied as a PT 2 month ago, and rn i have 13 clients -obviously all of them are female, and in Saudi, female weight lifting is not as popular. But I've seen it gain attraction in the last 3 years. And all my clients right now want to build their glutes, so thanks!!! Love your work!!
Great (master class) playlist and this is my favourite! Quick question: I do notice that I can load (clean) deadlift a lot more than front squat. My question is does squat make your deadlift better or the other way around or do they supplement each other better than other paired accessories for each exercise? Thanks!
I’ve been listening to MindPump for about 4 months. I have learn so much at the age 39 about health, weight loss and working out the ever before. Thank you so much on the information about glutes this is one of my hardest problem and hamstring to build.
Man I think Romanian Deadlifts hit my hamstrings the hardest, due to that big stretch you get. That really seems to be a special thing, if you can do a movement that really stretches the muscle, studies seems to show that it builds muscle better. Like when I do lat pulldowns I let the bar go allllll the way up and really stretch out. For Romanian Deadlifts I usually hold a kettlebell but a dumbbell or barbell works too. I don't even have to do a ton of weight, like a 60 lbs kettlebell, 3 sets of 10-12, if your hamstrings ain't killing you the next day or two I dunno lol. That'll hit my hamstrings way harder than sitting leg curls with double that weight. Keep knees straight, stick out butt, slowly bend over and lower the weight until you stretch as much as you can, then squeeze hamstrings/glutes to return yourself to standing.
New listener here. Wish I had access to the information you guys share when I was just starting out but very thankful to have found this podcast now. Cheers guys.
I needed this episode! I’ve been trying to grow my non-existent glutes for 2 years now. I’m a little embarrassed to admit I haven’t tried hip thrusts, yet. I’d love to win this package, and I’ll be looking into the butt mod, for sure.
Good call on the unilateral work. I've been doing pretty much exclusive bilateral work for quite a while now, besides like arm exercises. Gonna integrate some unilateral stuff in my next program.
It may sound rare but you guys have been my special pill to grow my glutes trough your message and therapy you provide me to overcome my orthorexia and body dysmorphia. Appreciatte you all and I would like to have you nearest... Greetings from Barcelona ( Spain ).
I absolutely hate hip thrusts. But I'll deadlift or squat any time I have that option. So glad to see this after my IG feed was filled with thrust propaganda this morning!
I guess I need to do more hip thrusts cuz I still don't feel my gluten much when I squat. I always feel it more with thrusts or deadlifts also. Squat is all quad
Masterclass is back, guys do yourself a favour, a look up the Masterclass episodes, back, shoulders and chest. These are phenomenal just like this one. Thanks guys for another great show
I learned from this episode our butt help us to stay upright when we are standing, to separate us from the floor, they give us balance and balance; so when the glutes are strong it positively influences any activity we do, be it walking to work or jumping in our training. Thank you
Thank you! Seriously need my glutes to grow!!! I love hip thrusts but I never forget my squat and deadlifts, I think all are beneficial. I'm def quad dominate so I need all of them to target all areas.
I used to get teased for my glute shape, size, but I was always one of the fastest people and the highest vertical leaps amongst my peers. As I’ve grown up, it all makes sense now and am proud of my lower body size 😆
Despite the deep barbell back squats, I could never connect to my glutes. It wasn’t until I did Bulgarian split squats with a slight lean forward where I felt my glutes really light up
I was JUST thinking how I'd love another masterclass episode, and what showed up in my feed today! Love it! Can't wait to incorporate the guys' advice for building the glutes into my training.
Thanks for all the tips! Maybe future episodes to dive deeper into the different variations in which you can perform squats (V squat, hack, barbell, smith, etc.) and how would you incorporate them in a plan without taking emphasis away from the big compound lifts. Also, if my gym is packed, I'll swap out barbell squats with reverse V squats. I still feel the emphasis on my glutes, thoughts on that swap? I do notice I can load more weight with the reverse V squat than the barbell squat. Thanks Mind Pump Team! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
You guys are pure gem 💎❤ I’m going through a phase where i think i have tried everything and nothing is working for me. You guys have been the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I still try to learn as much as possible through your videos cuz I can’t afford your programmes (maybe someday) 😅😢
Squats are a quad exercise, they are not hip dominant. RDLs, hip thrusts and Bulgarian split squats are the best 3 exercises for glute growth in my opinion. 3-4 weeks is also too frequent to change the rep ranges.
You guys are awesome. Thank you for another breakdown. Anything glute related, I'm here for it. 3 heads are better than... you know 😉 Great content, thank you again guys!
20:24 Really appreciate this simple structure for growing glutes, especially the comment about having the isolation on Wednesday to make sure the back has a break! Do you think doing some unilateral accessory work the same day as the glute building lifts would help with balancing strength, or just take a break from those lifts and only do unilateral movements?
Im 5 foot 1 and 132lbs ive built my glutes over the last year to a point where i want to really get hyper focused in going next level ans including more weights....as a beginner if i dont have bar bells, do you have recommendations for dumbbell weight to get started for my height and weight? Also what do i eat before a workout and then after a workout to help power through it and then to aid in growth and recovery?
Thank you for this video. I am currently trying to train myself for a show. I can't afford a trainer along with all the other costs of doing a show. I'm doing okay with muscle growth, but trying to grow my bum is harder than I thought. I will definitely implement these tips. Thank you! ❤

I just got MAPS Anabolic but I really respond to hip thrust far as glute growth. So my question is how can I add in hip thrusts within the program or should I just follow the program as is? Also love the way you guys present the info in a way everyone can understand!
I like one of your videos every day and comment on most of them... And I'll keep doing it cause I love your content! Can you choose me as a winner please? 😁🙏
hi, thank you for an amazing video! excuse me, English is not my native language so I didn't caught all the information. am I right that you recommend do glutes workouts 3 times a week, isolating heap thrusts, deadlifts and squats, and make different amount of reps each week?
The MAPS Butt Mod is no joke. I had amazing results w this programming. 3 exercises at most in 1st phase, 3-5 second, and you just need to focus on quality technique, MMC, and progressive overload-the program does the rest (well, in any program that’s what you need to focus on, but I digress). (And be in a calorie surplus PLEASE-no way to build without the materials). And like they said, the 1st phase w lower volume I’m convinced is where most of my gains came from, when I re-ran it, I extended that out to 6-7 weeks honestly. Their quad mod is also amazing, although personally a quads, I responded better to high reps (just personal difference in muscle groups)
I workout my glutes 3 days a week. My glutes have grown so much since doing RDL,S & Hip Thrusts. I also have added more protein in my diet & I'm loving my results. My body looks amazing. I also use Creatin everyday as well. Great episode!💗

I’m so glad my husband told me about mindpump! I listen all the time now 😊
Great episode! Love the discussion of the isolation “butt burning” exercises…all I did for a long time!
Been a listener since episode 1 female fitness myths exposed, you 3 changed my life and gave me a passion to help others in fitness and pursue a career in physical therapy and personal training. Will always tune in to some good old mind pump with my 3 amigos!
you guys are the gift that keeps on giving. thank you!
You got it 😎
I'm finally at a place in my fitness life where my diet is down and I've been so consistent with my workouts. I'm not afraid of muscle, and love to lift heavy. I'm excited for the body changes that are happening, fiiinally it really sunk in that it's all up to me to get things done. I'm building confidence every day in the gym and kitchen. Basically I've been on a 20 year bulk, poor diet has been such a distraction and hindrance. After my dad passed recently from being an unhealthy diabetic on paper for 30 years, it lit a fire under my butt to not waste any more time. Cheers guys, so much knowledge here. Xo
Really appreciate the clarity of this video. 3 exercises, clearly explained both in function and dose. Ye are marvellous.
Shout out from Saudi Arabia!! 🇸🇦. In Saudi, we don't have mixed gyms, either female or male. I'm a woman and got certificatied as a PT 2 month ago, and rn i have 13 clients -obviously all of them are female, and in Saudi, female weight lifting is not as popular. But I've seen it gain attraction in the last 3 years. And all my clients right now want to build their glutes, so thanks!!! Love your work!!
Great (master class) playlist and this is my favourite! Quick question: I do notice that I can load (clean) deadlift a lot more than front squat. My question is does squat make your deadlift better or the other way around or do they supplement each other better than other paired accessories for each exercise? Thanks!
The most knowledgeable podcast out there 🙏🏻
My favorite channel to listen to! Thanks for all the great insight 🎉
Hooray! Love the master's classes!
THIS IS THE EPISODE I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
amazing content once again!
I’ve been listening to MindPump for about 4 months. I have learn so much at the age 39 about health, weight loss and working out the ever before. Thank you so much on the information about glutes this is one of my hardest problem and hamstring to build.
Man I think Romanian Deadlifts hit my hamstrings the hardest, due to that big stretch you get. That really seems to be a special thing, if you can do a movement that really stretches the muscle, studies seems to show that it builds muscle better. Like when I do lat pulldowns I let the bar go allllll the way up and really stretch out.
For Romanian Deadlifts I usually hold a kettlebell but a dumbbell or barbell works too. I don't even have to do a ton of weight, like a 60 lbs kettlebell, 3 sets of 10-12, if your hamstrings ain't killing you the next day or two I dunno lol.
That'll hit my hamstrings way harder than sitting leg curls with double that weight.
Keep knees straight, stick out butt, slowly bend over and lower the weight until you stretch as much as you can, then squeeze hamstrings/glutes to return yourself to standing.
Finally another masterclass! Keep up the good work guys keep it going.
So much great educational information here. Great show. Thank you.
New listener here. Wish I had access to the information you guys share when I was just starting out but very thankful to have found this podcast now. Cheers guys.
I'm a true beginner and I'm focusing more on squats which led me here. Great points for someone learning. Thanks 👍🏾
Starting the gym today again! 💪🏻
I needed this episode! I’ve been trying to grow my non-existent glutes for 2 years now. I’m a little embarrassed to admit I haven’t tried hip thrusts, yet. I’d love to win this package, and I’ll be looking into the butt mod, for sure.
Hi
Brilliant stuff, so helpful thanks guys.
Question, is there any benefit to going to fatigue?
Great episode! Thank you guys!!!
Thank you so much guys!….❤ so much appreciated from a mum who trains in the backyard 😅👍
Good call on the unilateral work. I've been doing pretty much exclusive bilateral work for quite a while now, besides like arm exercises. Gonna integrate some unilateral stuff in my next program.
Always amazing information from the Mindpump guys.
Always 💪
It may sound rare but you guys have been my special pill to grow my glutes trough your message and therapy you provide me to overcome my orthorexia and body dysmorphia. Appreciatte you all and I would like to have you nearest... Greetings from Barcelona ( Spain ).
I absolutely hate hip thrusts. But I'll deadlift or squat any time I have that option. So glad to see this after my IG feed was filled with thrust propaganda this morning!
See Dr Mike’s video on hip thrusts. You’ll be happy. Front (walking lunges) much better exercise.
I guess I need to do more hip thrusts cuz I still don't feel my gluten much when I squat. I always feel it more with thrusts or deadlifts also. Squat is all quad
Love this show, guys. You all provide such a wealth of knowledge.
Enjoyed this episode a lot! I’m definitely going to incorporate the advice given.
Masterclass is back, guys do yourself a favour, a look up the Masterclass episodes, back, shoulders and chest. These are phenomenal just like this one. Thanks guys for another great show
Thanks for the info on this episode.
You’re welcome!
I learned from this episode our butt help us to stay upright when we are standing, to separate us from the floor, they give us balance and balance; so when the glutes are strong it positively influences any activity we do, be it walking to work or jumping in our training. Thank you
Great Masterclass, Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Seriously need my glutes to grow!!! I love hip thrusts but I never forget my squat and deadlifts, I think all are beneficial. I'm def quad dominate so I need all of them to target all areas.
Been waiting for this!!!
This was very helpful,thank you.
Love you guys. Great discussion
Thanks guys! I have trouble connecting with my glutes and this is great advise!!
Amazing podcast!
I used to get teased for my glute shape, size, but I was always one of the fastest people and the highest vertical leaps amongst my peers. As I’ve grown up, it all makes sense now and am proud of my lower body size 😆
If you don't have a playlist of all Mind Pump masterclasses, you should. Boom! 💪🏽
This video has just motivated me even more to grow strong glutes! Thanks for the helpful information, love it!
Awesome!
Despite the deep barbell back squats, I could never connect to my glutes. It wasn’t until I did Bulgarian split squats with a slight lean forward where I felt my glutes really light up
I was JUST thinking how I'd love another masterclass episode, and what showed up in my feed today! Love it! Can't wait to incorporate the guys' advice for building the glutes into my training.
Amazing episode as always gents!
Thanks for all the tips! Maybe future episodes to dive deeper into the different variations in which you can perform squats (V squat, hack, barbell, smith, etc.) and how would you incorporate them in a plan without taking emphasis away from the big compound lifts. Also, if my gym is packed, I'll swap out barbell squats with reverse V squats. I still feel the emphasis on my glutes, thoughts on that swap? I do notice I can load more weight with the reverse V squat than the barbell squat. Thanks Mind Pump Team! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
You guys are pure gem 💎❤ I’m going through a phase where i think i have tried everything and nothing is working for me. You guys have been the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I still try to learn as much as possible through your videos cuz I can’t afford your programmes (maybe someday) 😅😢
Yay! I get excited when they talk about glutes! ❤
Squats are a quad exercise, they are not hip dominant. RDLs, hip thrusts and Bulgarian split squats are the best 3 exercises for glute growth in my opinion. 3-4 weeks is also too frequent to change the rep ranges.
I ended up doing the first phase of their butt program for 6-7, I agree
You guys are awesome. Thank you for another breakdown. Anything glute related, I'm here for it. 3 heads are better than... you know 😉 Great content, thank you again guys!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve learned so much in the past 3 months of listening. Thanks for another great episode!
Very good info in this video all around! I'm so glad I found your podcast!
So are we! Welcome aboard!
20:24
Really appreciate this simple structure for growing glutes, especially the comment about having the isolation on Wednesday to make sure the back has a break!
Do you think doing some unilateral accessory work the same day as the glute building lifts would help with balancing strength, or just take a break from those lifts and only do unilateral movements?
Coffee and Mindpump to start my day always 😊☕️
Love that!
Im 5 foot 1 and 132lbs ive built my glutes over the last year to a point where i want to really get hyper focused in going next level ans including more weights....as a beginner if i dont have bar bells, do you have recommendations for dumbbell weight to get started for my height and weight? Also what do i eat before a workout and then after a workout to help power through it and then to aid in growth and recovery?
Thank you for this video. I am currently trying to train myself for a show. I can't afford a trainer along with all the other costs of doing a show. I'm doing okay with muscle growth, but trying to grow my bum is harder than I thought. I will definitely implement these tips. Thank you! ❤

No better way to get ready to crush another work week than to close the weekend with Mind Pump baby! Get up, work your glutes, and Let's Go!!!💪💪💪
Always love the content, this will be helpful to implement in trying to get more secure and powerful playing basketball as a 35 yo
Hardest area to gain for me, and this episode was definitely needed! Can’t wait to see the gains and functional improvements 🍑
Same
Great episode, super helpful info as usual. Thank you!
The vid I've been waiting for since subscribing 😅
I just got MAPS Anabolic but I really respond to hip thrust far as glute growth. So my question is how can I add in hip thrusts within the program or should I just follow the program as is? Also love the way you guys present the info in a way everyone can understand!
Just add it in. Don't overthink it
I like one of your videos every day and comment on most of them...
And I'll keep doing it cause I love your content!
Can you choose me as a winner please? 😁🙏
Just watched the episode y’all did with Brett Contresas talk about perfect timing ❗️
hi, thank you for an amazing video! excuse me, English is not my native language so I didn't caught all the information. am I right that you recommend do glutes workouts 3 times a week, isolating heap thrusts, deadlifts and squats, and make different amount of reps each week?
I could listen to you guys all day! You are all so engaging, entertaining and educated! Thank you so much for everything you share. 😊
My problem is when my glutes stars to show some growth then I notice belly coming out too. I wish I had more glute gains only😅
The MAPS Butt Mod is no joke. I had amazing results w this programming. 3 exercises at most in 1st phase, 3-5 second, and you just need to focus on quality technique, MMC, and progressive overload-the program does the rest (well, in any program that’s what you need to focus on, but I digress). (And be in a calorie surplus PLEASE-no way to build without the materials). And like they said, the 1st phase w lower volume I’m convinced is where most of my gains came from, when I re-ran it, I extended that out to 6-7 weeks honestly.
Their quad mod is also amazing, although personally a quads, I responded better to high reps (just personal difference in muscle groups)
