This is the Home Version of my Glute Gains program. This is the first mesocycle (phase) out of three 6 week phases.It is designed to target the glutes & back. It is a very balanced program which incorporates a balanced mix of cardio, lower body, upper body, and rest days. Special attention is given to working the glutes & back in both shortened and lengthened positions.
This program includes 4 strength training days/week. With rest days built in for optimal recovery & muscle growth.
