Glute Lab
Bret Contreras, is a personal trainer, bestselling author, researcher, international lecturer, and lifter. He has established himself as the world's leading expert in gluteal muscle functioning and development, strength training, and program design, and is best known for his glute training methods. With twenty-six books to his name, Glen Cordoza is one of the world's most published authors on the subjects of MMA, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai boxing, and fitness.
Bret "the Glute Guy" Contreras has been researching the gluteus maximus, the largest muscle in the human body, for over twenty years in order to improve human performance. What began as an attempt to improve his own weak, flat backside quickly evolved when he discovered the glutes' contribution to a wide range of functional movements. Gluteal muscles that have been properly trained not only help you lift heavier, jump higher, sprint faster, and swing harder, but they also help prevent knee, hip, and lower back pain and injuries. Bret later earned a doctorate in sports science and is now regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on strength and physique training.
Bret brings you Glute Lab, which pulls his field-tested and scientifically proven methods and techniques together into an all-in-one glute training system that will help you develop leaner, rounder, stronger, higher-performing glutes after helping thousands of people reach their strength goals and achieve their ideal physique in his world-renowned training facilities. This comprehensive guide explains why glute training is important for health and performance, how the glutes work, what critical role they play in the body, and how to design the best training program to achieve your aesthetic and performance goals. For those who want to jump right in, this book provides 36 weeks of programming and several training templates, breaking down each technique with step-by-step photos and descriptions. Bret also reveals the most common mistakes people make when performing these movements and provides hundreds of tips for making the most of every workout. You can use his system in a gym or even in the privacy of your own home.
