Dr Bret Contreras (The "Glute Guy") sits down with Greg to discuss some of our favourite topics.  We dive into Bret being one of the original movement optimists with his wildly controversial article "To crunch or not to crunch" in 2011.  Bret took a well thought out position on spinal flexion that was fairly revolutionary at the time. We get Bret's views on whether and when technique is important for injury, performance and life long lifting. Bret also discusses his involvement in the Plotkin et al 2023 study that really challenged some of Bret's thoughts on using EMG to select exercise.

In the first episode of 2024, Chris Nicole and TC tackle the first round of questions inspired by the listeners!.Here are some of the questions addressed in part 1 of this Q&A What are they looking for in bikini this year? Why and how do you incorporate heavy (3-6 rep max) training for bikini athletes? What benefits do compound lifts produce other than strength improvements? What are the differences between functional training, bodybuilding training, and athletic training? Can you effectively do all 3? They first recap their 4 day expo experience at the Miami Fit Street Festival, their visits to the Glute Lab, their collaboration with Bret Contreras for a 100% RAW StrongLlifting event coming up in June, and Chris's impromptu flight to Los Angelos to support her friend Sam at an NPC Muscle Contest Bodybuilding Show. .To find information on athletic or contest prep coaching: visit Recklesstraining.com or visit us on instagram @reckless_training TC @longshotgamble Chris Nicole @Chrisnicole_ifbbpro.To register for the Miami Strict Curl event June 01st or the Reckless Miami Mayhem StrongLifting Event, you can visit the Events tab at recklesstraining.com .For more on 100% RAW follow @raw_powerlifting_federation .For more content with Bret Contreras (the glute guy, the godfather of StrongLifting) follow him at @bretcontreras1 @bootybybretofficial

If you want to grow your glutes, and you've looked around online for tips, you've almost certainly come across hip thrusts. But are they better than squats for getting a bigger butt? Should you do squats or hip thrusts?  Well, after years of speculation among booty-building enthusiasts, we now have a scientific study that directly compared hip thrusts and squats in terms of hypertrophy. And I thought, who better to discuss this study than “The Glute Guy” himself, Dr. Bret Contreras. Not only is Bret a glute training expert, but as the cherry on top (or should I say peach?), he was actually one of the head honchos involved in conducting the study. In case you're not familiar with Bret, he's a PhD in Sports Science, renowned researcher, educator, bestselling author, and a personal trainer for over two decades, whose title "The Glute Guy" reflects his unmatched expertise in lower body training, making him the foremost authority on building a great butt.  Our discussion includes . . . The surprising results of the hip thrust versus squats study, including how they compare for glute hypertrophy and non-specific strength transfer Bret's take on a potentially fabricated study that stirred the fitness community The benefits and challenges of studying beginner trainees An exploration of training the glutes at varied muscle lengths The relationship between EMG studies and muscle hypertrophy The importance of technique over "feeling the burn" in compound movements Nuanced insights into the complexities of muscle growth mechanisms Practical strategies for those seeking to optimize their glute training And more . . . So, if you want to learn about the nuances of glute training and how to grow a bigger butt, or want to know what the science says about hip thrusts versus squats, don't miss this episode!  Timestamps: 0:00 - Please leave a review of the show wherever you listen to podcasts and make sure to subscribe! 2:39 - Why was this research essential, and what drove its inception? 13:59 - What's the rationale behind focusing on novice trainees? 17:58 - How would outcomes differ with more advanced lifters? 25:49 - Shop Legion Supplements Here: https://buylegion.com/ and use coupon code MUSCLE to save 20% or get double reward points! 28:59 - The role of EMG in predicting muscle hypertrophy. 31:42 - EMG's Relevance in Bodybuilding Science 35:04 - How does this study redefine our understanding of biomechanics and other exercises? 39:22 - What larger impacts does this study have on fitness research? 45:13 - Additional insights from the findings and final thoughts. 49:35 - How to connect with Bret Contreras and his work.

#42 – Range Specific Training & Glute Medius Hip Thrust mit Philipp Rey Nach einer längeren Pause starten mein guter Freund und Kollege Philipp Rey

We had a fun discussion about the current state of science vis a vis Squats vs. Hip ThrustsSee this paper for more information:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.21.545949v2 Hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadliftTimeline:00:23 – About our special guest, Bret Contreras PhD1:48 – Boca Raton is one big Seinfeld episode3:48 – Bret explains how this study came about3:56 – The infamous Barbalho investigation – to quote Elaine on Seinfeld, “fake, fake, fake.”12:18 – Gluteus medius and minimus didn't grow13:00 – Gluteus maximus growth was the same between hip thrusts and squats despite the fact that sEMG data showed much greater activity when doing hip thrusts13:56 – No hamstring growth in either group14:11 – Quads and Adductors grew more for the squat group14:30 – Strength gains were specific to the exercise – principle of specificity15:00 – Both groups gained similar strength in deadlift and wall push16:12 – Just do both exercises if the goal is skeletal muscle hypertrophy17:57 – Sprinters have the best hamstring development – Bret opines19:14 – Upper glute size – in the hip thrust group, you had 3 hyper-responders, but then you had 3 that actually experienced muscle atrophy. And you also had 3 that didn't respond at all. So 1/3rd of the subjects had no response!19:42 – Middle Glute size – in the hip thrust group, one individual actually atrophied.20:45 – Squats produced much more consistent results21:37 – Bret is now quite suspicious of EMG data in predicting skeletal muscle hypertrophy26:12 – Bret talks about how training has changed or not; for men, not so much. For women, it has changed a bit.26:40 – Focus on the basics: squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts, chin ups, military press, and bench press27:10 – Glute training is emphasized a lot more these days, particularly in women31:13 – Targeting the Adductor Magnus! Folks seem to ignore this large muscle and focus on Quads or Hams33:44 – Opening your hips – means hip abduction with external rotation38:48 – For athletes, Tony opines on these issues46:20 – In trained men and women, would there be a difference in hip thrusts vs. squats46:36 – In the real world, nobody volume-equates hip thrusts vs. squats47:10 – You can do more volume with hip thrusts than squats; so a study comparing them in trained people would necessarily result in greater volume in the hip thrust group50:11 – Of course, doing both squats and hip thrusts would work better51:13 – Volume equating training in the endurance world makes no sense either54:30 – Bret has a bad ass gym in Fort Lauderdale.  Don't stop by unless you want bigger glutes.Our guest:Bret Contreras PhD – bretcontreras.com ·        PhD in Sports Science from AUT University·        Master's Degree from Arizona State University

In this episode of the Therapy Show, I share my approach to staying healthy and fit as a busy mom in her 50s. I discuss the importance of lifting weights to preserve muscle mass, which decreases as we age. I also stress the importance of eating healthy and meal prepping, focusing on a higher protein diet and unprocessed carbs like starchy vegetables, rice, and quinoa. I recommend prioritizing vegetables and fruits, and buying organic when possible. I also advise against overdoing exercise and encourage listeners to prepare for menopause by controlling stress, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. I share resources like Mind Pump Media, Fighterdiet, Bret Contreras and Katie Sonier for weightlifting programs and suggest that an efficient weightlifting workout can be done in 35-40 minutes. I also share my meal prep routine, which includes using a crockpot to make a variety of meals with chicken, ground beef, and brisket, and involving family members in the process to make it a fun and enjoyable experience.  I emphasize the importance of consistency in exercise and eating healthy when you want optimal and vibrant health, at any age. I encourage listeners to make a commitment to themselves to eat healthy and exercise regularly, and to tap into their motivation for change. Remember, change takes time, patience, and consistency, but it is definitely possible. The Therapy Show with Lisa Mustard is sponsored by TherapyNotes!

In a recent IG exchange, Karlee Owens (@coach.karlee) made a post saying that hip thrusts were a less-than-optimal/unsafe exercise for training the glutes because of the compressive forces experienced on the spine. She used a video of Bret Contreras coaching a hip thrust in her video, which caused Bret to respond with his own reaction video, where he dismissed Karlee's ideas as fearmongering and pseudo-biomechanics. We look at some of Dr. Will's commentary response and go deeper into the rationale and reasoning behind some of his positions, and argue that when it comes to regular function and biomech, glutes do not find themselves CONCENTRICALLY contracted very often.

You owe it to yourself as a professional to become the best consumer of social media as possible. This isn't for casual scrolling, this is for the people you intentionally follow and the content you intentionally seek out to help yourself become the best version of you as a professional you can be. Listen to this full episode to learn the perspective and context it takes to maximize your social media consumption. 0:32 Why becoming a better consumer of social media matters 1:14 The weird times we live in, inspired by Bret Contreras on a different podcast: the ones who are actually experts/good at what they do are rarely the ones who look the best on social media 2:16 Creating context. What's your context and what's their context? 4:12 First big red flag...WHO DO YOU TRAIN??? 6:25 Next red flags: have you heard their voice, TOO many followers..., bold claims/clickbait, too narrow of content/lack of big picture 10:23 Green flag: what would you expect good social media of someone in your similar situation/situation you aspire to be look like? 11:18 Green flags: training similar population, give good logic and reason (even if don't have a similar population), not too buzz-wordy/easy to consume 15:21 Take home points: What's your truth vs their truth, tying everything back to the big picture, it's OK to be critical, how to implement things you consume Link to episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9kGw9gWj52g Instagram/Twitter: @CoachBigToe

Andrew shares an update with his PhD in Biomechanics journey. He gives a little insight in his area of study, his research responsibilities, and future projects that he is looking forward to working on. He also shares his growth as he reflects to where he was a year ago during his first semester. For all of us, looking back can show us how our consistent practices and habits helped us grow over time.Andrew also talks about how research contributes to the bigger picture and improves our understanding in theory and practice. Adding new information to our current knowledge is key to advance any field. In addition, it's important to recognize that a single article isn't the final answer to all problems, but rather it helps us to further our knowledge and thought process moving forward. Essentially, research articles are small pieces fitting into the bigger puzzle that helps to provide more clarity than we had before. This is what skilled researchers and experts are excellent at doing, synthesizing research and progressing the thought process that leads to innovative solutions.Lastly, Andrew applies this concept to everyone that comes across information in the health & fitness space. He shares how he saw a podcast clip where Bret Contreras shared that the health & fitness landscape today gives an advantage to the non-practitioners that have the ability to invest time in creating content. I agree that this is very different than the past where experts in the field dedicated their time to work with clients and athletes. There's a lot of pros and cons here to dive into. Listen to the end of this episode for some great insights and things to be aware of when you come across health & fitness content on social media. Andrew shares some great perspective that you'll want to listen to. Listen in and enjoy the episode!

“Front squats lead to greater improvements in jumping because you're going upwards, whereas hip thrusts lead to better improvements in acceleration because you're pushing forwards.”  Joining us on the podcast is Bret Contreras, aka “The Glute Guy.” He is the inventor of the barbell hip thrust and has been a coach in the bodybuilding space for 26 years. He also has a Ph.D. in sports biomechanics and has whole-body programs available online. In this episode, Bret shares how it all began, from being a scrawny kid with no confidence to getting in shape and being known as “The Glute Guy”. He talks about what sparked his interest in glute and hip training and walks through his discovery of the barbell hip thrust. He highlights the importance of squats and hip thrusts and why they should be part of all bodybuilding programs.  Bret also explains why, on social media, people often disregard the advice of experts in favor of content that is less reliable but more entertaining.

On today's episode, I'm chatting with co-founder of Vitruvi, Sara Panton. Vitruvi is a natural home-scents brand and is popularly known for their diffuser line of sleek products and clean, carefully-sourced essential oil blends. The company was founded by siblings Sara and Sean Panton as a way to create a safe home-scenting alternative to the traditional air-care products that carried harmful and toxic chemicals. The brand's journey from being a home business to now being sold on the shelves of top retailers such as Anthropologie and Nordstrom is incredibly inspiring so I'm excited to share Sara's words of wisdom for how Vitruvi has grown to what it is Today. We talk on bootstrapping and funding during the early days of Vitruvi, tips for making new hires, building partnerships, marketing success, and so much more.    To check out Today's hot tip from Bret Contreras, click HERE.

Gyms are opening and we want to help you get back to training in a safe and effective way. Bret explains exactly how to do so. A must-listen before you dive back into your usual regimen. 

In this episode we got a little bit controversial with the comparison - Squats vs Hip Thrusters for glute development. We discussed Bret's favourite glute building exercises and pieces of equipment, the sweet spot for optimal frequency, volume and intensity for glute development, as well as some theories on periodisation that he has never discussed before. We also covered business, building a social media profile in the fitness industry and how Bret became “The Glute Guy”. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy this podcast.

Butt, bum, arse, ass - whatever you call it, few parts of the body cause as much head-scratching and discussion as the rear end. Whether you like it big or small, we all aspire to having firm buttocks. My guest this week is known as The Glute Guy. Bret Contreras was teased at school for his diminutive butt, so he decided that the best revenge was to learn everything there was to know about glutes. After today's show, you too will have a degree in buttology. thesculptedvegan.com
