Along those lines, let's talk about glutes.

When I was growing up, glutes weren't like a thing.

I mean, people still had them, but it wasn't a thing that was emphasized in the media.

There weren't songs about them.

It wasn't something that people selectively trained for.

Nowadays, you hear glutes are the new biceps, et cetera.

Setting aside different preferences about glutes, moderate glutes or no glutes, everybody has glutes.

Could you describe for us what are the major functions of the glute and why it's useful to build strength and in some cases hypertrophy for the glutes, for men and for women?

I think most people are probably not familiar with abduction and adduction.

Could you explain abduction and adduction?

I'm thinking about the exercise in the gym where people are seated.

It looks like kind of like a recliner chair or a standard chair.

And then there are these pads that either on the outside of the knees or on the insides of the knees, and you're either squeezing in against resistance or you're pushing out against resistance.

Or at least twice a week.

Yeah, the before and afters on your social media are super impressive.

I mean, clearly people get incredible results.

I want to make sure I ask a few questions that I'm guessing are on people's minds now that everyone's thinking about glutes.

Let's say a woman or man comes to you and says, hey, I want more lower glute max, the area where the glutes meet the hamstring.

What is the movement that you prescribe?

Let's make it extreme.
