Glute training and development is all the rage at the moment. Whether it be for the aesthetic, performance or injury prevention benefits… most people are training glutes, or wanting to learn more about them!

Exercise selection and programming is key and must involve taking your glutes through all of their ranges of motion, but also recognising there’s the right tool for the right job.. not just performing what you’ve seen someone else do.Activation and correct technique are the difference between whether you’re actually training your glutes or your lower back and hip flexors. Eating in a calorie surplus. If we want to grow, we must fuel our body. No we don’t have to go through a “bulk” and put on excessive body fat. There’s a way to do it and be smart about it, while enjoying food and creating growth.Cardio levels play a role too, less is more when it comes to this! We want to train smart and allow time for recovery.
