Episode notes
Prioritize Compound Glute Builders
- Do prioritize main compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, and hip thrusts over isolation "volume builders."
- Focus on two to three core movements and get very good and strong at them rather than chasing variety.
Feeling ≠ Growing
- Working a muscle (feeling the burn) is not the same as building it; endurance work shapes different adaptations.
- Many bandy/feeling‑focused exercises feel good but don't provide the load stimulus to add significant glute size.
Train Heavy With Long Rest
- Do lift heavy with long rest periods: aim for challenging sets of roughly 5–12 reps and rest ~3 minutes between sets.
- Train the anaerobic (strength) system so you can progressively add load and stimulate growth.
