How to Grow Glutes If You're QuadDominant 🙌🏼

#glutegrowth #gymtok #gymtips #glutetraining

2025/9/12 Edited to

If you find that your quads get worked more than your glutes during exercises, you're not alone. Being quad-dominant means your body tends to recruit those muscles first, which can make glute growth challenging. To overcome this, I recommend incorporating mind-muscle connection strategies during your workouts. For example, before starting squats or lunges, consciously focus on engaging your glutes by performing activation exercises such as glute bridges or clamshells. Additionally, try adjusting your workout form. Widening your stance during squats and emphasizing hip thrusts can better isolate the glute muscles. Incorporate exercises like cable kickbacks or Bulgarian split squats to further target your glutes independently from the quads. Consistency is key—track your progress by noting the weights you use and muscle engagement. Remember that nutrition and recovery support muscle growth as well. By applying these tips and staying dedicated, even those with quad dominance can successfully build firm, well-shaped glutes.
