Older bodybuilding aesthetics favored smaller glutes; modern culture/influencers popularized bigger butts. (4:15) Contrasts natural training for glute development with cosmetic surgery trends (e.g., BBLs) and criticizes the extreme social media fitness culture. Vinnie warns strongly against performance-enhancing drugs, peptides, and SARMs. There have been multiple deaths among young pro bodybuilders because these substances are dangerous. (12:20) These are key glute-building compound exercises. You may want to view the YouTube video to see some of the items they discuss. (21:00) Back squats (can be free weights or Smith machine) Leg press Lunges or Bulgarian split squats Deadlifts Hip thrusts/glute bridges (machine or barbell) Genetics influence results, but progressive strength training can build more glute muscle over time. Training glutes twice per week (three times is “overkill”), spacing sessions out (e.g., Tue/Fri or Mon/Thu). Training Guidance Here is some program guidance: Choose 3 exercises each session from the main list and rotate the order each workout. Do a “to-failure” style session once per week. In the other weekly session, train at about 85% effort (higher reps, stop short of failure). Avoid going to failure in every workout to reduce the risk of injury and burnout. Keep these techniques in mind (28:00) Slight toe turnout is OK (about 10–12%), not extreme “ballet” turnout. Keep heels planted; if ankle/hip mobility is limited, elevate heels slightly until flexibility improves. For lunges, avoid letting the knee travel too far over the toes; aim for depth limited by hip flexor mobility while maintaining safer alignment. Avoid “tucking” the pelvis like a ballerina; think “sit back” with glutes engaged. Deadlift basics: push through heels, keep the bar close. It should be rubbing your quads, and hex bars can make the pattern easier to feel. Ideas for travel/mobility tips for long drives: stop often, move/stretch, consider using a yoga mat, and do a brief activity (jump rope, jumping jacks, etc.). (31:30) DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is microscopic muscle tears largely from eccentric (lowering/lengthening) contractions, not lactic acid.
