Show Notes
Everyone wants stronger glutes, but most people are training them the wrong way.
In this episode, Sandy is joined by physical therapist and movement specialist Dr. Alexis Griffin to separate fact from fiction when it comes to glute training. Together, they explore why movement quality, positioning, and progressive overload matter far more than endless bands, kickbacks, and chasing "the burn." In this episode, you'll learn:
Why stronger glutes are about more than aesthetics
The biggest mistakes people make when training their posterior chain
Why better movement beats more exercises
How proper positioning improves strength and performance
What actually drives long-term glute development
Whether your goal is building muscle, reducing pain, or improving performance, this conversation will help you train smarter—not harder.
