Exercises that Target the Glutes

[betterstronger]

I've been doing squats and lunges every Wednesday for at least a couple months now. What I have been noticing is that my quads fatigue before my glutes do, and hence they have also been growing much more rapidly. Are there exercises that target the glutes that I could do to supplement my workouts?

Thanks!

ATG squats and step ups are great for the glutes

Sumo squats
Plie squats
Good mornings
Romanian deadlifts
Bench step ups
Cable pullthroughs
Lying leg curls
Standing leg curls
Reverse hyperextensions
Running stairs, bleachers, uphill sprints (quad work as well)

Lumberjack squats are great...and i often use the hamstring curl machine as a glute machine...i have to find the video of how to do it because it is hard to explain...but it does hurt!!!

Go wide(toes front)and deep, almost hams touching calves deep with squats, the wider and deeper the more it targets your glutes. Also, tempo lifts while going wide,what a glute killer!!!!! I've been doing lighter weight 15 to 20 reps while doing a 5010 tempo. Load weight, stand up, lower in a 5 sec count, then shoot back up without locking your knees, go directly into the 5 sec descend. Holy cow, they will blast your butt. But be sure to use weight heavy enough to be almost unable to get that last rep in.
Also, learn how to do barbell deadlifts. and Romanian deadlift. Dead are by far the most effective glute and hams, exercise .

Stiff-Legged Deadlifts....They really help with the glute-ham tie in....

I'm not too sure of what these are actually called but roll onto an exercise ball so your hands are resting on the ground and raise your legs up (keep your heels together, toes pointed outwards)... it's a good one to throw into the mix every now and then and doesn't put any pressure on your legs.

Good luck

Some strong, good form, and heavy deadlifts should have them burning!
