Do any men do glute exercise more than just squats?

I know hip thrust and the bridge exercise are good ones.

    - squats

    - deads

    - lunges

    - bulgarian split squats

    - supine hip extensions (I usually use a medicine ball)

    I do all of the above and more depending on my training cycle (i.e. I don't do them all at the same time)

    Squats
    Squats
    Deadlifts
    Squats
    Back Raises
    Squats
    Sprints or Cycle Intervals...


    ... Squats

    In all seriousness, if you push your squats hard then you shouldn't have to do a ton more exercises. Walking Lunges are good but I don't know that your average person as the flexibility and balance to really hit the glutes well with a Split Squat. Step-ups on a tall box could I suppose.

    For squats I do not think I do. I concentrate more on quads than anything else.

    I do those hiding behind a Swiss ball in my core routine.

    Wide stance squats and glute kick backs. I dont like doing glute bridges specially when the gym is crowded. :laugh:

    Deadlifts and kettlebell swings are great for your posterior chain.

    Your glutes and hips are really powerful muscles already, they do their best work when used in compound lifts. Focus on keeping your glutes tight when squatting, you'd be surprised at the power it can provide.

    Low squats. What is a low squat? Like touch your ankles or something.

    Going as far past parallel as you can without losing form.

    same reason a man pecs is not called man breasts.

    Sounds like the muscle changes the meaning.

    Gotta get the load transfer on the squat you'll feel it in your gultes and hamstrings.

    "I really like her pecs and glutes." Sounds fine to me. I will use that and see what the girl says this weekend.

    I'm willing to bet it'll go over better than "I really like your tits and booty."

    Well, I have to say it sounds a lot less creepy than "Nice t*ts and *kitten* yo!"

    I wish theyd have a room just for bridges and thrust. It is very awkward doing them in the full gym. At least when your doing them in a class everyone is in the same position.
