Look for a girl with a brain. Personality. Good sense of humor.
Ha!
Sorry, but I’m a man. And I speak on behalf of all red-blooded men when I say that it’s all about the ass.
And you ladies know it!1OH, YOU LADIES KNOW IT, no matter how much you try to lie, liars!!!
You know that you need an ass instead of a butt if you want to reel in and/or keep a man who’s willing to put up with your bullshit.
And how do you get an ass instead of a butt?
Yup, by doing this glute building workout!2Preferably AFTER learning how to build bigger glutes and doing these glute activation exercises.
INSTRUCTIONS
A letter next to a number indicates that the exercise is part of a compound set. For example, something listed as 1A and 1B means that the prescribed number of reps for 1A are to be performed and immediately followed by the prescribed number of reps for 1B. Only when those two movements are complete are you to rest, with you beginning the next set after.
Rest periods between sets are 30 to 60 seconds, but that’s assuming you’re working with a light load. Once the load starts getting considerably heavy, rest breaks can be longer, from as little to a minute to as long as five. Use your discretion.
The weight used should be enough to complete the prescribed reps with effort. For instance, a set calling for 12 repetitions should start becoming a struggle by at least the 9th or so rep. If it’s not, the weight is too light. Additionally, the weight should increase on every set. The increase can be as little as 2.5 lbs on each side. It just has to be something! Refer below for exceptions.
If the exercise calls for 4 sets of 12 reps, for example, and the weight you started the exercise with was moderately heavy so that increasing the weight for the subsequent sets will severely cut down on the amount of reps you can do, then stay with the same weight for the remaining sets. Use your discretion, but don’t be a pussy. For exercises listed as 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 reps, that means that the first set should be performed for 12 reps, add weight and do the next set for 10 reps, add weight and do the next set for 8 reps, etc.
If your gym doesn’t have the equipment for a particular exercise, then skip it. That’s the cost of having a cookie-cutter program like this because not every workout can be structured to your available equipment.
If you find that an exercise doesn’t agree with you, stop immediately. That’s the cost of having a cookie-cutter program like this because not every workout can be structured to your injury history and/or personal comfort.
NOTE: The first exercise calls for specific use of a Dynavec Gluteator (1A). If your gym doesn’t have this particular piece of equipment or something similar, then just use a regular hip abduction machine but mimic the movement pattern of the Gluteator by leaning forward as you close your legs and leaning back as you open them.
NOTE: Perform step-ups (1B) with dumbbells (or kettlebells) for extra resistance, if necessary. However, rather than holding two 5 lbs dumbbells in each hand, for example, you’ll hold a 10 lbs dumbbell in the hand of the leg in motion. So if your right leg is stationary on the platform and you’re stepping onto it with the left leg, then you’ll hold the 10 lbs dumbbell with the left hand.
NOTE: Perform bent-leg reverse hyperextensions (2A) and elevated reverse lunges (2B) on a Smith machine.
NOTE: This glute building workout is an example of a workout for all training levels. But because you’re an individual and don’t want to be like everyone else, you probably want to get yourself a regimen geared to your specific training experience, as well as your injury history, available equipment, goals, and other dumb shit this cookie-cutter routine wasn’t designed for you in mind. Yeah, maybe get yourself an exercise program designed by, I don’t know, yours truly. Well, nobody’s stopping you!!!
