This interview podcast focuses on optimizing glute training, particularly for women. Dr. Bret Contreras, known as "the glute guy," discusses key differences in training goals between men and women, emphasizing the higher priority women often place on glute development. He details the anatomy of the gluteal muscles and explains various training methods, including the "rule of thirds" (vertical, horizontal, lateral exercises) and a four-month rotating focus program. Contreras also addresses common training mistakes, such as insufficient effort and program hopping, and the importance of progressive overload. Listeners gain practical advice on designing effective glute training programs and understanding individual responses to different exercises.
