Why your glutes aren’t growin'—and how to finally train them properly (Build a Bangin’ Butt )

Season 1

Alright girl—pull up a seat, because we’re about to have the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Today, we’re talking about glutes. But not just how to train them… We’re talking about how to train them beautifully.

Because there’s a difference between doing exercises and training properly. There’s a difference between just moving and moving well. And in my world—we care about doing things properly.

If you’ve been showing up, doing your squats, smashing your glutes with banded circuits and donkey kicks—but your results aren’t matching your effort? This EP is your intervention.

I’m giving you the full breakdown of what actually builds a bangin’ butt:

• The anatomy
• The movement strategy
• The programming framework
• The exact training dose

And I’ll show you why glutes are not just for aesthetics—they’re the engine behind your strength, posture, and performance.

If you want your training to work, if you want glutes that do things (and also fill out a pair of jeans like nothing else)—this is where we begin.

Here’s what happens when you train glutes the right way:

• You feel your glutes light up—without your back kicking in
• You get stronger every week
• You look in the mirror and actually see change
• People at the gym ask what you’re doing
• Niggles disappear
• You stop chasing workouts and start building a body you love

KEY TAKEAWAY

• Your glutes are not just for show—they are the engine behind your power, posture, and performance.
• Building glutes requires a clear hierarchy: Mobility → Stability → Strength → Intensity.
• Most women don’t need more effort—they need better method and strategy.
• Mechanical tension and metabolic stress are both essential for hypertrophy.
• There’s no “best glute exercise.” You need a combination of:
• Hip- and knee-dominant lifts
• Vertical and horizontal loading
• Lengthened and shortened positions
• Use constraints (machines, tempo, support) to own the movement before chasing load.
• Ditch random glute circuits and upgrade to intelligent, progressive programming.

QUOTES

• "Glutes aren’t just your side booty—they’re the queen of aesthetics and the engine of your power."
• "If you can’t own the movement, you’ll never apply enough force to grow the muscle."
• "Your mobility opens the door. Stability walks into the room. Strength is the magnetic woman inside."
• "Stop doing random glute circuits with bands. That’s not a strategy. That’s a distraction."
• "It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right things, in the right order, the right way."
