Rate My Workout: Glutes

Jack N. from Manasquan, NJ sent us his lower-body workout in hopes that we could help him pump up his glutes. Below is his old workout, which could use some improvement, along with our M&F-recommended workout. 

OUR ADVICE

Complete glutes training requires a squatting exercise, a hip hinge, lateral or rotary movements, and hip thrusting. You’re missing a lateral movement. Try lateral walks with a band: Loop it around your ankles and walk sideways against the resistance. Lateral training works portions of the glutes you can’t hit otherwise, leads to more growth, and prevents injuries.

GLUTE FORCE

Strengthening the glutes can prevent lower-back pain and increase your other lifts. (Another perk: Girls like it, too.)
