What? Another glute training article? :)

Build strong glutes

I’m in the camp that one can never acquire too much knowledge.  So with that said, I came across a recent article on T Nation.   If you play sports, or just want your lower body to look better, then as I said above, one can never acquire too much knowledge on proper glute training:)

Excerpt from the article –

Everyone’s got a favorite body part.

Me? I’m with Sir Mix-A-Lot – I like big butts and I cannot lie.

A strong backside is about more than just being able to fill out a pair of pants. It serves as the foundation of strength for the entire body, meaning it will allow you to build more muscle all over. Try doing any big compound lift with weak glutes. It’s not gonna happen.

I once read a Confucious-esque quote that I seem to recall being attributed to Louie Simmons that said, “He with the biggest butt moves the most weight.” I have no clue if Louie actually ever said that, but either way, it’s a friggin’ awesome line.

Getting your rear in gear will also go a long way towards keeping you healthy for the long haul by helping to ward off low back pain, knee pain, hamstring strains, groin pulls, etc.

The glutes can handle a tremendous workload, but a lot of the classic big lifts that work the glutes the most – namely squats, deadlifts, and lunges – can take a real toll on the lower back and knees when done in excess. Therefore, it’s important to sprinkle some more joint-friendly glute exercises into your program to blast your ass without beating yourself up too badly.

With that in mind, here are some exercises to help give you the kind of butt that will make even Kim Kardashian do a double take.
