Description

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER IMPROVE YOUR PHYSIQUE, BUILD LEAN MUSCLE, AND INCREASE STRENGTH For more than twenty years, Bret “the Glute Guy” Contreras has been on a quest to improve human performance, focusing his research on the gluteus maximus, the largest muscle in the human body. What started as an effort to improve his own weak, flat backside quickly evolved when he discovered the wide range of functional movements to which the glutes contribute. Properly trained glutes not only help you lift heavier, jump higher, sprint faster, and swing harder but also help prevent knee, hip, and lower back pain and injuries. Bret went on to earn a doctorate in sports science and is now known as one of the world’s foremost experts on strength and physique training. After helping thousands of people reach their strength goals and achieve their ideal physique in his world-renowned training facilities, Bret brings you Glute Lab, which pulls his field-tested and scientifically proven methods and techniques together into an all-in-one glute training system that will help you develop leaner, rounder, stronger, higher- performing glutes. This all-encompassing guide explains why glute training is important for health and performance, how the glutes function, what critical role they play in the body, and how to design the optimal training program to accomplish your aesthetic and performance goals. This book offers thirty-six weeks of programming and several training templates for those who want to dive right in, breaking down each technique with step-by-step photos and descriptions. Bret also reveals the most common faults people make when performing these movements and offers hundreds of tips for getting the most out of every training session. You can implement his system in your local gym or even in the comfort of your own home. Glute Lab is more than just a book on glute training. These principles and methods can help you maximize muscle growth and strength, improve body composition, overcome training and physique plateaus, train around injuries and discomfort, determine ideal training frequency and exercise selection, design periodized programs, and so much more. In short, this book gives you the tools to make strength and physique gains and design balanced programs that cater to a wide range of goals and work for your entire body. Whether you’re a regular person looking to improve your appearance, an athlete looking to boost your performance, a physique competitor or bodybuilder looking for an edge over the competition, a powerlifter looking to increase your strength, a CrossFitter inspired to gain knowledge, a personal trainer interested in offering your clients cutting-edge training techniques, or a physical therapist looking to improve your clients’ health, Glute Lab will equip you with the information you need. In this book you will learn: • The fundamentals of optimal glute training • The anatomy and function of the glutes • How to select exercises based on your physique and training goals • How to perform the most effective exercises for sculpting rounder, stronger glutes • Variations of the hip thrust, deadlift, and squat exercises • Sample training templates and splits that cater to different training goals and preferences • How to implement advanced methods into your training routine • Diet strategies to reach weight loss and body composition goals • Sample glute burnouts and templates • Twelve-week beginner, intermediate, and advanced full-body training programs with a glute emphasis • How to design your own customized training programs • How to overcome plateaus in training, strength, and physique Read more

    • Glute Lab
Great read I would recommend to anyone looking to build a big round butt!!

    • 100 Pages In
I'm 100 pages in. I'm a huge fan of what I've read so far, very informative. More of a book on fitness in general with a glute focus. Don't look at the title and think it's just gonna be a book about glutes.

    • Great Training Program S
I’m really impressed with the training and the in-depth explanations provided by the author. Science based training that delivers. After 4 weeks I feel that the focus on the glutes has been well worth it. I also like that even though the glutes are the center piece, the rest of the body is trained equally well. I have a BS in movement and sport science and the science is sound and applicable. ... show more

    • Unbelievable value
I'd expect to pay $200 for a book this heavily researched and detailed - this is a full-on textbook, guys. You will not see overnight results... lifting takes time to change / recomp the body. But this book is beyond worth it. I'm slowly incorporating his methodology into my workouts over time. Already seeing results compared to what i was doing before. This is sooo worth the money if you're committed to lifting and want to learn how to target the booty more on "leg day"! ... show more

    • Great information
Book is very big and heavy, maybe partially because when I bought it I had a broken finger. But to take any info out to make it smaller would be silly. If you are looking to improve your physical appearance this book is for you if you are ready to do the work it takes! Lots of notes already in this book and thanks for all the effort put into it by Brett. He knows his stuff when it comes to gluten. Lots of progress made already with simple exercises that don't hurt. He explains how you should have a mind to muscle connection to help you feel more of what you are doing. Genius even though I think I was partially doing this already, having it explained in depth made alot more sense. Powerful stuff. ... show more

    • Thrust is a must, so is this book!
I started my weightlifting journey with Strong Curves back in 2014 I wanted a better body, and the trainers I paid got me no results. The information on getting women results was pretty limited to high reps and low weight, Bret’s book changed the game. I continued my education in college as an Exercise Science major. Now as a personal trainer myself, Bret’s influences from his book were always utilized in my program development. With his latest book he goes further in depth about muscle development in general and really gets to the meat of glute training. Which is revolutionary, there was no information in this area, and I’d always wanted a better looking butt as have many of my clients. I feel like this is a must for anyone in the strength and conditioning community. I mean anyone! It expands on knowledge you already have, and for someone just learning about weightlifting mechanics or new the the names of anatomy, it does a good job of breaking it down and not overly complicated. It also explains program design and progressive over loading. Which is something that personal training courses completely overlooked in their certification programs. Glutes have never been a priority for most big name body builders that have put out information guides, they were completely unaware of how they built their own glutes, and some are just genetically gifted. From someone that had potential to build from nothing to actually seeing progress to having the look I want with fuller rounded glutes— I highly recommend picking this up. It’s not an over night fix, but you’ll see results quickly and it will take consistency and years in to develop to your full potential. But it is achievable! ... show more

    • This should be subtitled The Booty Bible
I wanted to completely finish reading this before leaving a review just to make sure the whole thing was as good as the beginning, and quite honestly, it was even better than expected. This has to be the most complete and comprehensive book on glutes ever conceived. (It might also be the most helpful book about training that I’ve ever read.) There is NOTHING about the glutes that isn’t covered here: anatomy, mechanics, functionality, training, sample workouts, exercise descriptions. Bret goes into how he constructs (and personalizes) workouts for his clients, so if you’re looking to create your own workout, this will tell you how. He not only goes into the how but the why behind each recommendation, so you understand every exercise and variation and how it will work for you (which I find makes my workouts more productive). I am NOT any kind of fitness competitor or athlete; I’m just a normal woman who would like her hips and back to stop hurting (and who wouldn’t mind regaining the fullness I once had round back). I work out in my basement, and I don’t have a lot of equipment, but I’ve been following the programs in Bret’s other book, Strong Curves, for about 4 months, and the gains I’ve made in strength are pretty damn amazing. I can only see those gains increasing after reading Glute Lab. This book was admittedly quite dense and I wondered how long it was going to take me to read, but it goes quickly, and it kept me riveted the whole time. The writing style is personable and although the content gets scientific, it’s never hard to understand. There are excellent descriptions and photos of all the exercises, and the infographics make pertinent information easy to find. If you’re a fan of Bret’s work, or if you’re just hungry for quality information on glute growth, I can’t recommend this book highly enough. ... show more

    • Best Book on Glutes Ever
Love this book! So glad it's not just about aesthetics, but also about function and which movements target specific glute fibers. There is also a different approach from the low-rep programs out there. Contreras explains how to use different lifting techniques in depth and has workout programs for wherever you train. Great job! ... show more
