The Glute Workout (MOST EFFECTIVE)

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
The hundred glute workout requires all out effort, but the results are nothing short of amazing if you follow the glute exercises and protocols shown here. As always a solid glute workout should consist of exercises for your glute max and glute medius. That said, even that doesn t make this workout for glutes complete. In order to round out your butt with a well rounded workout you need to spend more time focusing on the reps that actually count to help you build bigger, stronger glutes. That is what we do in this workout. If you look at most glute workouts that people perform, they usually consist of the same glute exercises. The issue isn t necessarily what you re doing but how you re doing them. In order to increase the intensity of the workouts you are doing you have to focus on increasing the intensity of each set you perform. Consider that in a normal set of 12 reps that only the last 2-3 are actually hard enough to provide enough stimulus for muscle growth. What if you had a way that allowed you to more quickly tap into those harder, more growth producing reps more quickly? You do, by incorporating a rest pause technique into your training. Here, when the set is resumed you are instantly back to recruiting more type II fibers which are more easily able to respond to your hard work in the form of new size. The accumulation of these more difficult, effective reps is what can easily help you to increase the size of your glutes while decreasing the length of your workout. When it comes to training in the effective rep range, ask yourself a question. When you perform a set of any glute exercise, do you take it to failure or close to failure? Likely, the only reps you feel that are challenging are the final 1 to 3 reps. This is because, it is only at the point after the muscle has been stressed enough to tap into the harder to reach type IIb muscle fibers that the task at hand becomes challenging enough to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. With the glutes workout technique shown here and in this series, you re going to more quickly tap into these growth inducing type II fibers. The strategy is as follows: Perform a set of the glute exercises shown below to 12 rep failure. Choose a weight that will cause you to fail at or close to the 12 rep mark. This is called the ignition set. At this point, the real work begins. Rest for just 15 seconds as part of a somewhat prolonged rest/pause. As soon as these 15 seconds are up, get back into another set. You will instantly recognize that the reps will be challenging more quickly due to the decreased recovery time allowed. You are still using the same load however, therefore your glutes are still being subjected to the same external load. However many reps you get after each of these rest/pause increments are all deemed to be effective reps. Each bout should be taken to failure. Accumulate 20 effective reps, even if you re getting just 1 out at a time at some point, and your work on that exercise is complete. If for some reason you are unable to complete any more reps on your way to 20, end your set and aim to complete all 20 the next time you perform this workout. Here is how to construct the 100 glute workout with that in mind. - 0: 00 100 Glute Workout - 0: 25 Effective Reps - 1: 03 Exercise 1 - 2: 04 Exercise 2 - 3: 17 Exercise 3 - 4: 11 Exercise 4 - 5: 29 Exercise 5 - 6: 27 Optional Exercise Barbell Hip Thrust - Ignition Set then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause as a Dead Row Barbell RDL - Ignition Set then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause DB Sprinter Lunges - Ignition Set then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause Cable Pullthroughs - Ignition Set then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause Banded Hip Drops - Ignition Set then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause each side Optional: Glute Bridge/Curl Static Ladder x 20 reps using a 5 second isometric hold in the bridge position of each rep (Rest/Pause) All totaled, this will amount to 100 effective reps in this intense glute workout. If you have to adjust your weights down as the fatigue mounts, do so accordingly. You are not necessarily using your 12 rep max on an exercise, you are using a weight that will cause you to fail at the 12 rep mark in that given workout. Fatigue accumulating in the later glute exercises of this workout may cause you to have to drop down a bit to make this happen throughout the workout.

I ve been doing this for awhile, now. (the resting 15 secs or less) specially because I only use resistance bands.
Pros of only resting 15 secs or less:
-I cut my workout time by 40%.
- I m able to incorporate more exercises.
-I saw the results within weeks.
Cons:
- Even though my muscles are tired and fatigued, mentally I feel like I didn t do enough because it took me half the time to train (key word here is mentally, not physically. Physically, I m exhausted. Once you past this mental challenge, like I did, you will be fine more than fine.
For me, this training method REALLY works.

Jeff, I find it extremely helpful to be able to do short, effective and targeted workouts, especially if you are on a busy schedule!
In my case, your programs with limited equipment, that is, just bodyweight, just dumbbells or just bands are very convenient for training at home or when traveling.
Maybe you could do some scalable program with limited equipment, for instance, being bodyweight movements the core of the program and adding DBs or bands to the exercises once they're mastered in order to progressively overload.
Thank you as always for the inspiration

Q&A: Can these effective reps workouts be incorporated into an existing split? For example, I do a five-day upper/lower/P/P/L split depending on my schedule, with each workout lasting about an hour. I would love to use these principles while working multiple muscle groups instead of focusing just on chest day, back day, etc.

Love this series, but I was hoping for a full legs workout, rather than just glutes - to complete the full body in 5 days. :(
Here's my own though, which I devised myself while I was waiting (next to other 4 body parts):
20x squat
20x RDL
20x leg extensions
20x calf raise
20x DB lunges

Jeff, for all of the 100 series of exercises, how does one progress the progressive overload? If we do the 100 series of exercises once, the next workout do we add more effective reps (more than 20 effective reps? In theory, how does one progress when using this effective rep style of training? Thank you.

Please help! So for the first exercise we're to do 12 ignition reps, rest for 15 seconds and then do the 20 effective reps. Now, if you don't get 20 effective reps in one set and need to rest, do you have to do the 12 ignition reps again before you finish the 20 effective reps?

I have a long body, my arms don't reach to down below my junk, so the cable pullthrew requires me to bend over forward a lot, and the whole thing becomes tricky and uncomfortable in the extreme. No way I can pull the cable to an upright position without it wrecking me.

My girlfriend once showed me the secret to her perfect looking booty, well I mean glutes of course. BICYCLING(Non-seated that is) And it works other muscles at the same time INSANE

You should make a video on torn hip labrum s, I miss being able to follow along with your content. I still need to see a physical therapist, I m not able to workout anymore.
reply

There is no way that having good glutes is worth doing that pull-through exercise. I saw a guy doing that at the gym today and thought for sure somebody was going to call security.
reply

Jeff, I m a little confused, does that first set of 12 count towards our 20 effective reps? Or do we perform 12 reps, and then an additional 12 effective reps per exercise? Thanks!
reply

Thanks for another great vid Jeff! Just finished your best to worst series and was pretty sad there's no video on quads in it, I think a lot of people would like one myself included
reply

For a guy whom always preaches no leaks in the kinetic chain why do you wear shoes with raised heels and cushioned souls. Wouldn't barefoot style training shoes be more beneficial?
reply

It's cool to see you add a glute workout to the 100 series. Could you do one for forearms, too? Many people say that forearms are often the most neglected body part in training.
