Summary
In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present , Jake and Chris discuss how to build the biggest glutes possible. The episode begins with a rare Silver Era lower-body routine from a female 1940s strength athlete Abby “Pudgy” Stockton, before breaking down the most effective modern exercises for glute development. Key topics include: • Abby Stockton’s 1940s lower body routine • The difference between upper and lower regions of the gluteus maximus • Why seated hip abduction is one of the best exercises for the upper glutes • Hip thrust vs glute bridge • Why squats and leg presses can still stimulate glute growth in the stretched position • Why glutes can often tolerate more training volume than upper body muscles • A simple three exercise framework for maximizing glute development
