Want a good man butt? Both men and women can benefit from stronger more toned glutes.
A strong nicely toned backside that looks good in jeans will not only please the ladies but can also help to produce the muscular force needed to lift heavier, run faster and squat deeper.
Your glutes are made up of several muscles. The biggest is the gluteus maximus which is one of the most powerful muscles in the body. Gluteus maximus is responsible for the round look you can get in your butt when you do the best glute exercises for men. The other two smaller glute muscles are the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus that also contribute greatly to a strong toned backside.
When starting your glute workout, you’ll need to progress in phases. The whole hip/glute region is notoriously weak and needs to be ‘woken up’. This comes from a combination of sitting all day long in many office jobs and then hitting the gym with inactivated glutes that just get weaker. For this reason the glutes are often lazy and need to be coddled in to training so don’t attack them with over aggression!
Here are some great jean ripping glute exercises for men provided by expert trainer Nathan Hamon.
Use these best glute exercises for men to activate your glutes and improve overall exercise performance. In weeks you’ll increase lower-body strength, build stronger more muscular glutes and burn more fat.

SPRINTING (6x50m @w/up, 6x50m @75-100%)
Glute Exercise description:
In a sprint, when the foot comes into contact with the ground, it’s the gluteus maximus that takes charge. It absorbs the impact of the vertical force before swiftly enabling a drive up from the ground. Also, try uphill sprinting for even greater glute burn.
6 x 50-meter strides (Focus on form and don’t go for speed. This is part of warm-up)
6 x 50 meter sprints starting at 75% effort and building to 100% effort when ready
