Whether you call it the booty, the butt, or maybe even the backyard, the
scientific name for the round (or flat) thing behind you is the Gluteus Maximus.
The gluteus or glutes, are one of the most important muscles you can train in
the human body. When compared to other muscles within your body the glutes
have the highest threshold potential for size and strength. This means your
booty has a lot of potential to grow if you know how to train it. We will utilize
a few powerful techniques and approaches to hit it very effectively, but more
importantly you MUST eat with the intention to grow your booty!

I know that you’ve invested in this guide because you’re either unhappy with your butt’s
size or shape, or you just want a bigger booty. Perhaps, you’re a beginner and are
unhappy with how your lower body looks in jeans or maybe you’re advanced and want a
booty so big your man can comfortably use as a pillow. One thing is for sure. If you want
to move towards growing your glutes and successfully building a bigger butt, it will take
time and consistency!
In this 8 week guide, I have created the perfect booty building frequency for maximum
glute size. Yes, some days will be harder than others, but if you stay consistent, put in
effort, and remain motivated on your booty’s big bright future, then I promise you that
the results will speak for themselves! So how do you get more defined and muscular
glutes? Could Occlusion training be the answer? Stick around and I will explain how BFR
(Blood Flow Restriction) training can take any stubborn glute’s growth to the next level.
BFR (Blood Flow
Restriction) Benefits:
Gain More While Doing Less
One of the biggest benefits of BFR training is the
ability to achieve the same results from low intensity
resistance exercises as those achieved through high
intensity resistance training (i.e weightlifting). With BFR
training you use much lighter weights and doing more
reps. This essentially gives the same hypertrophy
(muscle building) effect that heavier weights would.
This makes BFR training ideal for people that cannot
lift heavy weights due to injury, age or other factors
like being stuck at home during COVID-19.
Fitness Tip
Consistency is key when it comes to fitness! The best way to get and stay in
shape is to be consistent. Whatever fitness program you choose to do, the key to
ensuring success is staying consistent with it!

Glute Anatomy:
It’s important to understand the biomechanical function of the
glutes before we can understand how to best train them. So
let’s cover the basic anatomy and function of the glutes.
7
Anatomy & Function:
The three players that make up your glutes are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and
the gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus is the MVP of the glute muscles because it
creates the biggest shape of your butt and works when you walk, run, or thrust your hips
forward. The other two glute muscles, the medius and minimus work together to help
your gluteus maximus raise your leg to the side or perform any abduction movement.
Gluteus Medius
Gluteus Minimus
Gluteus Maximus
Quadratus Fermoris
Gemellus Inferior
Piriformis
The gluteus maximus has multiple origins including the pelvis, sacrum, coccyx, and
thoracolumbar fascia and multiple insertions including the upper femur and IT band.
Because of the multiple attachment points it is able to perform a wide variety of functions,
but primarily these three:
8
There are many ways to strengthen the gluteus muscles, the large and powerful muscles
of the butt.
Exercises that train hip extension include squats, deadlifts and hip thrusts. These are
the exercises that will primarily be perform in this 8 week program. Considering the
glutes fire the hardest when they are in or close to full hip extension, the hip thrust is
most effective as a glute activator. However, because exercises like squats and deadlifts
have a much larger range of motion and a greater degree of eccentric emphasis, they
are also included in the program as “main movements”. Due to their contribution to hip
abduction and hip external rotation, generally speaking, the glutes fire harder with a
wider stance and a slight foot flare. Building a mind muscle connection with your glutes
will help you target your glutes as well. You can build a better mind muscle connection by
slowing the reps down and also touching your glutes while performing movements like
hip thrusts and kickbacks.
The smaller gluteus medius as shown in figure 1 still occupies a large portion of the rear
hip musculature and functions primarily as a stabilizer during dynamic movement and as
a hip abductor. It is most effectively trained with exercises that require a high degree of
stability, especially unilateral movements such as walking lunges, and exercises that train
hip abduction, such as machine or banded hip abductions.
Properly stretching the glutes is very important so you don’t experience glute, hip and
lower back tightness. I recommend doing the post workout stretches after each training
session to loosen up the glute and lower back muscles.
9
Fiber Types In The Glutes
The gluteus maximus muscle is a nearly even 50/50 split of type 1 and type 2 muscle
fibers, implying that it should be trained with a combination of high and low reps
with at least one “main” heavy movement to fully activate the fast twitch fibers.
Targeting your fast twitch muscle fibers occurs by doing explosive movements,
whereas type 1 muscle fibers are better targeted with heavy loads or higher
volume. The gluteus medius muscle seems to be slightly more type 1 dominant
which implies that higher reps may be more effective when focusing on isolating
this muscle. We will be working both muscle fiber types with the 8 week program
I have laid out for you below.

Frequently
Asked Questions:
How Do You Even Occlude Blood Flow From The
Glutes?
Use the Priti Fit Occlusion bands and wrap your upper
thigh right between the glutes and hamstrings.
Make them tight but not so tight that you can’t perform
the exercise or that you feel numbness in your legs, about
(7/10) for “perceived” tightness is perfect. I recommend
that you wear tights (short or long) so that you are not
wrapping bare skin as this may be uncomfortable.
11
Your carb intake should be fairly high (30-50g) pre and post workout because you
can benefit from timing your carb intake properly. Research shows that eating carbs
before and after a workout can help you perform longer and recover more quickly.
Carbohydrates supply your body with the glycogen it needs for your booty building
session! Carbs are your friend when used correctly and are essential in building muscle
because of their anabolic affect.
If you need help with figuring out your macronutrients or don’t know how to put
together a diet plan, then reach out to me via [email protected]. Title the message
“Personalized Meal Plan Needed” & I will personalize a booty building diet plan for you
after you fill out a diet form. It will ask you questions about your diet and current lifestyle
which will allow me to get a better understanding of how to optimize a meal plan for your
specific lifestyle.
Measurement Tips:
Hips: Measure at the widest point of your hips or bottom. It’s really
important to be in front of a mirror for this one as it’s tough to see if
your tape measure is level.
Waist: Your waist is easy to find. It’s the natural fold that you get when you
bend over to one side. It’s located just above your belly button and tends to
be the smallest part on your torso. Place one end of the tape measure above
your belly button and bring the other end of the tape measure around your
back to join them up again.
12
What if I am still sore? Should I train or take another rest day?
Training sore is fine unless it puts you at an increased risk of injury. If your form is
compromised then take it slow and lower the reps accordingly. If you’re having a
difficult time getting into position or completing a full ROM (range of motion) due
to pain, you should not train. Use your own discretion to avoid getting injured, but
training sore will not impair gains.

Program Outline:
The goal of this program is to build your glutes, not to annihilate them the first day
and have them not recover in time for the next workout. RECOVERY IS EVERYTHING
when you’re trying to grow any muscle. Therefore, I kept the amount of daily sets to the
appropriate threshold so there are no wasted sets. Work smarter, not harder!
14
Block Periodization:
The program is split into 2 blocks: Weeks 1-6 make up the accumulation
phase and weeks 7-8 make up the metabolic build up phase. This is a
typical bodybuilding protocol that will get you some serious gains when
paired up with the proper nutrition.
Block 1
Block 1 is focused on loading and volume accumulation. The first 2-3 weeks are focused
on getting adapted to the high volume and frequency of the program. The BFR training is
going to be utilized 3 times a week along with high volume to really tax your glutes.
Block 2
Block 2 is all about the metabolic build up! In the second half of the block, sets are taken
closer to failure and a higher volume is used. The general trend from week 1 to 6 is toward
more volume, more load and more intensity. Week 7 and 8 are going to be focused on
going to failure (AMRAP) with very light weight.

Pre & Post Stretches:
Do you stretch your glutes on a daily basis?
Stretching regularly is another way to prevent inactive, tight
glutes. Glute stretches can improve hip rotation, and help with
walking, running and descending stairs. If you have soreness
or tightness in the glutes, pain or soreness in the hips, tight
hip flexors, low back pain, tight hamstrings, knee pain or pelvic
discomfort, stretching your glutes can help all of that!
18
Why you should stretch your glutes before a workout:
Warming up before a workout is important as it can help to prepare the body
for exercise and minimize the risk of injury. Warm ups typically involve dynamic
stretches to help improve blood flow and increase your range of motion for the
target area.
Here are some of the best ways to stretch and warm up your glutes before
starting a workout.
2. Lift and turn out your right leg so that your ankle is resting on your left leg just
above your knee. Gently tilt your hips to the right to allow the foam roller to
press into your right glute.
3. Continue to roll down the length of your glutes, pausing on trigger points as
needed. Repeat on your left side.
19
BEFORE EVERY TRAINING
SESSION PERFORM
5-10 minutes of moderate intensity cardio on your choice of cardio equipment the
following dynamic stretching routine:
Leg Swings:
Leg swings warm up your glutes and hips. You can use them before a workout, or to
warm up the muscles for deep stretching.
With your left hand resting on the back of a chair, plant both feet on the
floor, hip-width apart.
While keeping your left foot firmly planted on the floor and your right leg
straight, swing your right leg back behind your body, ensuring that your
torso remains upright.
Swing your right leg forwards, directly in front of your body and once
again ensure your torso remains upright.
Continue swinging the leg backwards and forwards before switching sides.
20
Seated Hip Abduction With Bands:
The hip abductors work alongside the glutes to assist with standing, walking, and rotating
the leg. When you work the glutes, it’s important that these muscles are also active and
working to stabilize the hips.
With a resistance band looped around your lower thighs, sit on a bench with
your feet on the floor slightly closer than hip-width apart. Lean back and place
your hands on the bench behind you. This is your starting position.
Using the muscles in your glutes and hips, separate your knees and feet until
they are slightly further than shoulder width apart.
Draw your knees and feet inwards to return to the starting position.
Lateral walk:
This exercise fully engages your glutes and hips, strengthening the major
muscles in your hips, thighs and legs. The lateral walk improves stability
and helps prevent injury.
2. Keeping your right foot on the floor, step your left foot
outwards so that your feet are slightly further than hip
width apart.
21
Glute Bridge:
The glute bridge exercise benefits many
muscles, including the hamstrings, lower
back and abs, in addition to the glutes. The
pose can be done using just a mat, or you
can place a looped resistance band just
above your knees to increase the intensity.
22
Best Glute Stretches for Recovery:
Once your workout is complete, take five minutes to cool down and
stretch to minimize tightness later on. The following stretches can be
used in your cool down or in a dedicated recovery session.
2. Keeping your spine straight, lean slightly forward to deepen the stretch.
Sit upright in a sturdy chair. Place your right ankle on your left thigh, just
above your knee. Place your hands on your shins.
Keeping your spine straight, lean slightly forward to deepen the stretch.
23
Pigeon stretch:
To do this stretch:
1. Start on all fours. Lay your right knee toward your right wrist, placing your shin on the
floor. Move your right ankle toward your left wrist.
2. Slide your left leg back, point your toes, and face your hips forward. Extend your spine.
To do this stretch:
1. Start on your back with your legs extended and your feet flexed upward.
1. Bend and lift your right knee and place your hands around your knee.
1. Hold for 20–30 seconds. Return your leg to the starting position.
1. Straighten your right leg and repeat with the left leg.
Pro Tip: Spend time on stretching! This will help you recover faster and can also aid in growth.
