Squats are a gym staple, but the science on glute activation tells a more complicated story. Here's what squats actually do — and what they don't.
Stance width, toe angle, and foot placement dramatically change which muscles do the work. Here's what the science says about optimizing foot position for glute growth.
Cable kickbacks feel amazing but often train hip extension momentum more than glute contraction. Here's what's actually happening, why your form probably sucks, and how to fix it — or replace it entirely.
Posterior pelvic tilt during hip thrusts and bridges can dramatically increase glute activation. Here's the science behind it, how to do it right, and when it actually matters.
