Butt Exercises / Glute Exercises

This exercise is one of your body's basic movement patterns, and it works the glutes (and the quads and hamstrings) very effectively. Learn optimal form here.

This is a fantastic glute-building exercise that you can do at home or pretty much anywhere you have a chair and something solid to grab onto. This puts a massive stretch on the glutes at the bottom, which is ideal for growth.

Target that hard-to-get-at area...the bottom "crease" of the glutes where they meet the hamstrings. This exercise looks strange but targets that spot precisely.

This version of the lunge hits the upper body very effectively as well by how you hold the weight...in front of you, sometimes resting on the thighs.

If you have knee issues, lunges can be a problem. This lunge setup allows for better action at the knee and less torque on the joint, making it doable for those with knee problems.

This deadlift exercises puts massive tension directly on the glutes with very MINIMAL action at the knee...perfect if you have knee problems. It also forces the glutes to work in two capacities at once, dramatically ramping up the workload.

Target the gluteus medius and minimus (as well as maximus) with this angled/leaning one-leg squat. It's effective as a bodyweight-only exercise and even MORE effective when you start adding weight.

With this combination of two exercises, you'll work the glutes through their two primary movement patterns (squats and lunges). This will help you build larger, firmer, rounder glutes fast!
