Bret Contreras, certified strength and conditioning specialist, recommends these tweaks to optimize your booty workouts. You'll be feeling the burn in no time!
#1 Squeeze
Remember to consciously squeeze those glutes to increase your muscle activation by over 12%. Squeeze when you're lifting and leg lengthening for the best results!
#2 Get Low
Deep squats are the secret to a better booty. Get your hips down below your knees to perfect a deep squat. Some people think deep squats are bad for you, but they actually are highly beneficial! This style of squat burns more calories, more fat and can have a positive effect on you metabolic rate if you're looking for more reasons to drop it low.

#3 Lean In
"If you tilt your torso forward to a 30-to-45-degree angle during a lunge, you'll feel a hotter burn in your glutes." says Contreras.
This angle will put more stress on your rear and in turn, help sculpt and define it.
#4 Get A Leg Up
Single-limb versions (like one-leg squats) are super effective at activating your gluteus medius and gluteus maximus by an extra 33%. This is compared to double-leg exercises which are less impactful for your buns of steel.
