About this episode

Ashley Hodge discusses practical and evidence-based approaches to glute training.

Ashley Hodge is a strength coach and powerlifter and joins me to talk about her knowledge and experience with practical, evidence-based glute training. Ashley shares her thoughts on: Is glute training as complicated as glute influencers make it out to be? Is there a difference in how you approach glute training for competitors versus the general population? For the everyday person with time for only two full-body workouts each week, how should they maximize glute growth? Practical wisdom for glute training that online-only influencers often fail to consider Are common banded and bodyweight drills enough stimulus for glute growth? Does it matter if you can't feel your glutes as much during heavy deadlifts or hip thrusts?
