Ep. 44 - Bret Contreras "The Glute Guy" & Inventor Of The Hip Thrust On All Things Glute Training

EP 44 is now live on all platforms and we’re kicking off 2024 with an industry known Coach - The Glute Guy and Inventor of the Hip Thrust, none other than @bretcontreras1! 
​
​
Bret is a pioneer, with a wealth of knowledge and experience - very few come close to his expertise, so we couldn’t wait a second longer to sit down and pick his brains on all things glute development.
​
​
In this episode we discuss:
- Bret’s background, how he became involved in the industry and his career to date;
- How female training has evolved over the years, his approaches and beliefs now vs then;
- Optimising glute development, considerations for programming and exercise selection; 
- Compound vs accessory movements for glute growth and why it’s important to do the “fluff”’work;
- Camp mentality in relation to programming female bikini/wellness athletes, misogyny and bias relating to programming for female/bikini athletes;
- Genetics in bodybuilding and the bikini division, how much do they play a part;
- Sumo stance vs conventional movement patterns and his views on efficiency for glute growth
- Common mistakes he sees frequently which may be contributing to your lack of progress
​
​
And so much more. 
​
​
For all our bikinis girls, coaches looking to level up their knowledge or anyone interested in maximising their glute training. This is a must listen.
​
​
There a few episodes that will top this one and we’re extremely grateful to Bret for dedicating his precious time to sharing his thoughts.
