A glute-focused training system for strength, shape, and symmetry.
This lower-body hypertrophy program focuses on progressive overload through glute-biased movements like hip thrusts, lunges, and deadlifts. Complemented by isolation and banded circuits to enhance glute activation, symmetry, and functional lower-body strength, the plan supports joint health while delivering visible aesthetic results.
Program Notes:
- Progressive Overload Applied: Increase dumbbell weight week to week.
 - Glute Bias Maintained: Every workout includes a mix of compound + isolation glute work.
 - Mobility Included: Key lower body and spine mobility drills integrated each day.
 - Unilateral Work: Ensures glute symmetry and injury prevention.
 - Max 12 exercises/day cap maintained.
