Based off glute anatomy, square glutes typically have a prominent glute medius. The glute medius and lower glute max line up which gives it the “square shape”. Even though clam shells (clip 1) and Bulgarian split squats (clip 2) are good exercises in general, research has showed they have high glute medius activation. Typically for square glutes to avoid your glutes becoming even more square you want to do exercises that primarily target the glute max or glute minimus with not high glute medius activation. Side lying hip abductions and lateral step ups have more minimus activation than glute medius so they are great alternatives.

Hi Tamera, I have a square glute shape but whenever I do BSS… I feel it in my lower glutes than my glute medius. Is it normal? I’d really appreciate your help with that. Thanks

Hi! do you recommend lateral step ups or lateral lunges for rounding square glutes?

Thanks for this! Can I do the third exercise using the cable machine? Like standing clamshells? Are they the same?
