In episode 185, we follow up our previous Chest Specialization episode with another body part specialization. This time for the glutes. We detail a few very effective and practical approaches to training the glutes 3x weekly or per rotation taking in all the numerous considerations that go into designing a proper specialization. We walk through our key levers of exercise order, optimizing frequency, the importance of exercise selection, where to increase and decrease volume increases, and intensity techniques. Enjoy!
