Wondering how to build a nice, round booty? Having strong glutes is not only great for turning heads, but can also help prevent back and hip pain. Here are some of the BEST exercises to grow your glutes!

The primary function of the biggest gluten muscle, the gluteus maximus , is hip extension. This is the movement of driving your hips forward. Most of the glute exercises you’ll find online either don’t train hip extension at all and focus on the smaller glute muscles, or they’ll train hip extension but not in a way that enables you to use heavier and heavier weights over time. The glute exercises that should instead be where most of your efforts go to are the ones that focus on hip extension and enable you to use heavier weight over time - exercises like back squats, leg presses, Bulgarian split squats, deadlifts and hip thrusts. They’re not fancy, but if you use the right form and get really strong with them over time, they’re going to be the key to the glute growth you’re looking for.
