    Entering my fourth week and starting to see some body changes. Eating between 1200-1500 calories a day, 11k steps, 25-30 floors of stairs, 5+ miles per day. Finally feel like my body is deciding this is for real :smile:

    In to see/hear results. I'd like to run this program some day but I'm in the middle of another. I'm trying to add some of the lifts from it to what I do now but so far only have hip thrusters.

    Take pictures and then take new pictures every 1-2 weeks. Try using the same lighting, stance, etc. It can be a really fun experience.

    Check out his FAQ

    Re exercises:

    I need more upper glutes. What exercises should I do?

    I included an EMG chart in THIS blogpost, however, there are more aspects of hypertrophy training than just activation levels. In general, hip thrusts, back extensions with a rounded upper back, quadruped hip extensions, quadruped donkey kicks, band or cable standing abduction, band hip thrusts, and lateral band walks will serve you well.

    I need more lower glutes. What exercises should I do?

    I included an EMG chart in THIS blogpost, however, there are more aspects of hypertrophy training than just activation levels. In general, hip thrusts, pendulum quadruped hip extensions, back extensions, single leg hip thrusts, deadlifts, squats, lunges, Bulgarian split squats, reverse hypers, band hip thrusts, and band or cable hip rotations will serve you well.

    Ok awesome! I'm eating at a 1200 deficit and doing the at home body weight exercises for now. I'm finding the glute work out easy though...only on day 2 so I'm sure it's building to something :)

    I think it depends on your fitness level. I wouldn't count on seeing results within weeks if doing this program on a cut, especially at 1200 calories. I saw results by the end of the program when running it at maintenance and slightly above. On a cut, I didn't see anything go downhill but I didn't see any improvement (by that I mean growth.)

    Well I'm fine with no growth I already have pretty large glutes, but so much fat around them. I don't want to lose the muscle, but would like to get rid of fat. My body retains Fat around my butt so this may take a while before I see results haha. I like the program though so I'll stick with it.
