FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :
EACH HIGHLIGHTED HEADING IS ONE TRAINING SESSION, MEANING THERE ARE 2 GLUTE FOCUSED WORKOUTS EVERY DAILY TRAINER SPLIT DROP.
THE (PL) PRIMARY LIFT(s) IS/ARE ONLY TO BE DONE IF YOUR’E NOT TRAINING THE DAILY TRAINER LEG DAYS (WHICH HAVE THESE BUILT INTO THE LEG DAYS) OR DOING MUCH OTHER LEG TRAINING VOLUME IN YOUR TRAINING. IF YOU ARE DOING PROPER LEG TRAINING, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO DO THE PRIMARY LIFTS. ALSO, IF YOU WANT TO ONLY GROW GLUTES AND NOT THE LEG DEVELOPMENT WITH IT, THEN EXCLUSION IS ALSO A GOOD OPTION THERE.

SESSION ONE
——————————————-
PRIMARY SESSION LIFTS ( PL ) :
1. STANDING LEG CURL
done using a standing or kneeling leg curl or you can hack
some leg extensions for this. i have a monkey foot and that works
well also. get creative if you can – the standing position just has
a different resistance profile.
3 sets : 15-12-10 + drop 6
*prog overload each set in succession
NORDIC LEG CURL WITH ACCOMODATING
RESISTANCE
open kinetic chain leg curl with lots of attention
to the eccentrics on these. use a hip width anchored
in kneeling stance. accommodating resistance can come from
a band deload or a cable trainer.
2 sets : 0-1 RIR
MEAT AND POTATOES LIFT
” HIP EXTENSION “
2. SINGLE LEG CONTRALATERAL DB RDL
one db held opposite of the lead leg you’re hinging on.

3. SUSPENDED BB SPLIT SQUAT
