Achieved nice Glutes..willing to Share tips& secrets

Hi, im going to start weight lifting next week, and I need tips on what to do to get the nicest glute aesthetics I have visible glute muscles currently (and I did nothing), what can I do (intentionally) to nurture and mold my existing glutes to their max potential, in the past I've freestyle, or done some of whatever throwing whatever at the wall type thing. I don't have any strength or bulking goals I actually dislike muscle, I only care about aesthetics
which I hear comes from muscle.
And
-Im open to other types of exercises to achieve perfect glutes too, So definitely feel free to Share anything you feel that helped you achieve yours,.. OUTSIDE of GENETICS since obviously i can't be rebirth by your parents:)

    Check out Bret Contreras on Instagram, He also has a couple of programs/books largely geared towards building the booty. Glute Lab is his most recent, but his older program, Strong Curves, has a tremendous following and many, many people have had great results. He also has a program called Booty by Bret if you want coaching (sort of) directly from the glute man himself.

    I would also recommend Bret. He has his book Glute lab and his Instagram, bear in mind he’s kind of an *kitten* though.
    Also I like Mark Carrol Lon Instagram and Lauren Simpson for Glute stuff they are all very knowledgeable.

    For growing glutes you need to be targeting the muscle using a hypertrophy training program while implementing progress overload (increasing weight, reps, time under tension etc) while consuming enough calories and protein.

    A few other things are to make sure you are activating your glutes in your lifts, I like to do a band activation warm up before hand to get them firing.

    Stretch your quads and hip flexors. These muscles get very tight due to sitting and being inactive and can inhibit Glute recruitment.

    Hit the glutes from different angles using a thrust/bridge, squat or kneee dominant movement, deadlift or hip extension, and abduction movements with every lower body workout.
