Here is a summary list of the most important points from the “How to Structure Glute Workouts” article.

If you want to grow your glutes more than your quads, you've got to check out these training layouts. We have solutions for beginners, advanced lifters, and those wishing to significantly deload their quads.

We discuss 5 ways to lay out your workouts so you can maximize quad and butt gains. These plans will help develop legs to crush the souls of men (or women) and build a dump truck in the back simultaneously. Different approaches to manage mental and physical fatigue are featured.

Doing squats, hack squats, reverse lunges, and other multi-joint exercises are the best for glute development. However, if you always did these exercises, your legs would fatigue sooner than your glutes fatigue which could limit booty gains. Additionally, you'd soon be mentally exhausted. We briefly discuss fatigue of the body and mind.

We rank our top 54 glute building exercises. We were going to stop at 50, but we wanted to include wide stance hip thrust variations which ranked 53 and 54. All variations of hip thrusts are near the bottom of our list. We get highly detailed including specific exercise variations, equipment, and stances. Of course, we defend our position with science and common sense.

We discuss the various limitations of exercises where you can really squeeze your butt: glute abductors, kickbacks, booty band stuff, hip thrusts, and glute hypers.

The hip thrust is a manufactured exercise to sell you gym equipment related to it. The hip thrust is sort of like performance supplements - you can break the bank buying accessories to do it but you'll experience very little return on your investment. In this article we discuss why many exercises are superior to the hip thrust and discuss glute activation because many people associate this with growth but activation does not infer growth.

We have many goals on this website. Some of them are for you to get straight double cheeked up, you walk in a room and your butt walks in 5 minutes later, and you have no need to do that lordosis pose bullshit to make your butt look good. This article outlines how to make it happen.

Here is a summary list of the most important points from the “How Do Muscles Grow” article.

We talk about AMPK a lot on this website because its activation inhibits muscle growth. Find out what regulates catabolism. We also briefly touch on how fasting affects your quality of life and longevity.

In this article we highlight what role satellite cells play in muscle growth as well as detail how muscle damage impacts growth. This article explains why more isn't always better. Training smart and hard will always prevail.

We discuss how undereating and stress not only lead to reduced growth but also muscle breakdown.

We continue with our theme of translating cellular signals to building muscle. We tackle how protein, insulin, IGF-1, and androgens promote anabolism (gainsosaurus rex).

We discuss the practical side of protein synthesis and tell you exactly what you need to grow (it's more than just protein). We also elaborate on how weight training signals growth.

Protein turnover (synthesis + breakdown) is the basis of muscle growth. We discuss the steps of protein synthesis in this introductory section.
