@leanxpress: I rank 15 popular more glute exercises on a tier list based on their muscle-building potential and the latest exercise science. From kickbacks and hip abductions to Romanian deadlifts, lunges, and hip thrust variations, we're breaking down which exercises deserve a place in your glute workout—and which ones might not be worth prioritizing. Whether your goal is bigger glutes, stronger legs, or a more effective lower-body training routine, this tier list will help you make smarter exercise choices. 🔥 HOW THE TIER LIST WORKS 🏆 S TIER: My favorites. Do these if you can. 🥇 A TIER: Strongly recommended. 💪 B TIER: I still use these in certain contexts. There may be better options. 🤔 C TIER: Better options exist for most people, but these exercises can still have value in certain situations. ⚠️ D TIER: Probably not a great option for most people. ❌ F TIER: Generally not recommended. Every exercise is evaluated based on its potential to build muscle, considering factors such as loading potential, range of motion, stability, and how effectively it can be programmed for progressive overload. 🍑 EXERCISES COVERED IN THIS VIDEO • Kickback • Step-Ups • Machine Hip Abduction • Cable Hip Abduction • Lateral Banded Walks • Walking Lunges • Smith Machine Lunges • Smith Machine Lunges (Front-Foot Elevated) • Curtsy Lunges • Deadlifts • Sumo Deadlifts • Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs) • 45-Degree Back Extensions • Cable Pull-Throughs • Kettlebell Swings • And more glute exercises ranked throughout the video!

Walking lunges are the only exercise, after years of doing them, that still make my glutes sore to the point I can't sit down properly for a day or two.

I 100% agree. I can’t believe there was a time people were coming online to tell us that hip adductors are a waste of time

This was really helpful! You basically ranked all the popular exercises online and at some point for me it was starting to get confusing what exercises I should focus on. This really helped me determine what I should do.

single leg rdl are also fantastic for glute and stability, but are very hard to overload
