Maintaining 44in Glutes
Though I haven’t competed in years as an NPC athlete, I also have no plans of competing any time soon.
I maintain my glute size and condition by:
1. Operating in an 80/20 system for eating clean
2. Consistently training, I hit hamstrings/glutes 1-2x a week.
3. More focus on hamstrings vs 15 different glute exercises. Your hamstring movements will naturally involve the glute muscles. More RDL’s, less kickbacks.
3. I built my glutes on light weights, focusing on mind/muscle connection. Don’t feel the need to ego lift a crazy amount of weight to try to build your glutes.

Achieving and maintaining impressive glute size, like 44 inches, requires a strategic and focused approach to both diet and exercise. The 80/20 eating system emphasizes clean eating while allowing some flexibility, making it a sustainable option for many. It's essential to hit your hamstrings and glutes 1-2 times a week, as this frequency helps with muscle recovery and growth. Focusing on compound movements such as Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs) can significantly enhance glute strength more than isolated glute exercises. Integrating such exercises into your routine allows for better engagement of both hamstrings and glutes, enhancing your overall muscle tone. Avoid getting caught up in the trap of lifting excessively heavy weights; instead, prioritize proper form and establishing a strong mind-muscle connection. Additionally, considering a varied workout routine can prevent plateaus. Incorporating different movements targeting both the glutes and the hamstrings can yield better results over time. Remember, consistency is key, and so is listening to your body to avoid injuries while achieving your desired physique.
