Booty Building 101 – Episode 2796

by Vinnie Tortorich

Booty Building 101

  • Body trends have changed over time. 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.

  • The NSNG® VIP GROUP IS NOW CLOSED AGAIN AS OF SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH 

  • Anna’s next cookbook, Eat Happy Cocktail Hour, is filled with cocktails, mocktails, and appetizers and is available for pre-order right now.
