Description
Build Glute Strength is a 6-week strength training program designed to build glute strength effectively and safely using structured workouts through a progressive overload sequence. This is a PERFECT cross-training program for walkers, runners and cyclists.
We start with foundational work, using only our body weight in the first week. Then in the second week, we overload the body by incorporating dumbbells. As you move along through the plan, week by week, we gradually increase the intensity of the workouts to build strength by using various training principles and techniques. The final workout in this series will be much more challenging than the first one, so be sure to follow the plan in sequence, so you don’t overload too soon.
NEW: if you are a beginner and want to try this program, I now provide a separate training calendar to follow that better guides them through the program. Once you complete the program using this calendar, you can redo the program again using the intermediate training calendar.
What are the glute strength exercises?
The program consists of key bodyweight and dumbbell strength training exercises for the lower body. I demonstrate various forms of the squat, deadlift, lunges, bridges, and exercises to target hip stabilizers. We start with body weight in the first week, and from weeks 2-6, we mainly use dumbbells. I incorporate different rep schemes to maximize your efforts as we progress.
Key exercises are repeated to focus on the most efficient path to building glute strength. Many people think having a huge variety of exercises is important, but this is not true. Focusing on movement patterns and developing strength using fundamental exercises is much more important than doing various exercises with no progressions or sequence. This is why people often fail to build their fitness and maintain it.
Who can take Build Glute Strength?
This program is best suited for those with some lifting experience. This program requires lifting, squatting, hinging, and getting down and up off the floor with no major complications. If you experience pain when you squat or deadlift and have extremely limited mobility, this program is NOT suitable for you.
Attention endurance runners and cyclists – this program is EXCELLENT for cross-training. It is common for endurance athletes to have weak glutes, especially the gluteus medius. Building strength in the gluteal muscles helps to create balance and enhance performance in athletes with weak glutes. This program would make a nice compliment to any of my TrainingPeaks plans for endurance athletes.
