Glutes exercises
29 movements — how to perform them, what they train, and the mistakes to avoid.
Hip-dominant work: thrusts, bridges, hinges and abduction. The hip travels while the knee stays relatively fixed — the opposite of a squat, which is why squats alone rarely build glutes.
11 of these need no equipment at all — see the bodyweight library for the full list across every muscle.
