Gyms are opening and we want to help you get back to training in a safe and effective way. Bret explains exactly how to do so. A must-listen before you dive back into your usual regimen. 

In this episode we got a little bit controversial with the comparison - Squats vs Hip Thrusters for glute development. We discussed Bret’s favourite glute building exercises and pieces of equipment, the sweet spot for optimal frequency, volume and intensity for glute development, as well as some theories on periodisation that he has never discussed before. We also covered business, building a social media profile in the fitness industry and how Bret became “The Glute Guy”.

Butt, bum, arse, ass - whatever you call it, few parts of the body cause as much head-scratching and discussion as the rear end. Whether you like it big or small, we all aspire to having firm buttocks. My guest this week is known as The Glute Guy. Bret Contreras was teased at school for his diminutive butt, so he decided that the best revenge was to learn everything there was to know about glutes. After today’s show, you too will have a degree in buttology. thesculptedvegan.com

After our last podcast episode, you had questions, so we are BACK with the answers! Bret gives specifics on how to choose exercises that work with your anatomy (the way we are built matters!), what matters when training (and what doesn't!), when to rest, and the number of exercises you should choose out of the HUNDREDS available for your lower body. 

We get SPECIFIC- talk about a gift- the Glute Guy himself gives up a total DIY plan. Thanks, Bret!
