So you don't tell them to train glutes three times a week.
You just say, look, what are you doing for legs?
Some guys will like, you got the typical guy who skips legs.
He says like, oh, I just run on the treadmill for legs.
That guy needs to start training his legs.
Also, you have the guys that are like, I just do leg press, leg extension, leg curls.
Okay, you should probably do more glutes.
But if you have a normal โ if the guy already does squats and deadlifts, great.
Add in hip thrust because they're not going to compromise your recovery.
Just add in hip thrust and if you feel okay doing seated hip abduction, throw that in too.
More men are doing seated hip abduction and more men are doing hip thrust with the โ
advent of all these plate loaded machines you see now in gyms they're making it way more convenient to hip thrust because people don't want to set it up the setup back the first like decade we all you had to set up these my og followers will laugh at the times where we had to drag plates and barbells and aerobics steps and risers and benches all across the gym buckle in now you buckle in it's so much more convenient but just add in hip thrust or 45 degree hypers glute dominant fashion and
So you're already doing the stretch position work.
Hopefully the man is already, for his quads, he's already doing squats or lunges or split squats or deep leg press.
He's already doing that.
If he's already doing stiff leg deltas or RDLs, great.
Just add in a squeeze position work because you're going to be recovered.
And I think there's some synergy to it.
It's weird because like if you've only trained, we saw this with you yesterday, you have big glutes, but you don't train the extended range, the squeeze position.
So you're very weak compared to how strong you are in the flex position.
