Just crawl out of bed and unlock your glutes two times per week. No big deal! “Unlocking” is the new buzzword I’ve been seeing lately, usually from physical therapists that so badly want to be personal trainers and strength coaches that they start telling people that stretching is more important than lifting for hypertrophy. It’s not. Yes it’s good to do. But it won’t prevent the fact that you’ll need to get very strong at the basics if you want to build a booty. Squats. Thrusts. Deadlifts. Lung

This is a highly underrated glute exercise. It’s low impact, it activates the glutes very well in a fairly stretched position, and it does not fatigue you much or interfere with overall recovery. Thanks to coach @jamiederevere for demo’ing! | Bret Contreras

Watch coach @jamiederevere demo’ing extra range side lying hip raises. Make sure the extra ROM comes somewhat through hip adduction ( which stretches the upper glutes) and not just spinal rotation (which doesn’t). | Bret Contreras
