The Shadiest Thing I've Seen in Fitness (Glute Anatomy Pseudoscience)

[@lifewithcats1163]

This is why I’ve been with this man’s programs for the last 8 years

[@Alice9NoBara]

Bret is the only one I trust for information on how to grow my glutes! My butt used to be so flat and shapeless before I started following him! Now I get so many compliments it’s crazy lol I refer every woman I know to him lol

Have you done his programs? If so which one have you used! Or do you just enjoy all of his tips?

There is a fitness coach here in Germany who sells fitness programs online and he claims that abductions create and accentuate hip dips, making you look “worse”. The myth he made up spread so much that I hear them in gyms and online forums all the time. It’s very annoying

Wow, I bought and did Brazil Butt Lift back in college when I was desperate to improve my physique. Although it did shrink the size of my Glutes, it was not sustainable results. I’ve been doing Booty By Bret for 2,5 years and the difference is night and day! I actually have the body I was dreaming about having back in college when I was doing BBL! This explains a lot 😅 Forever grateful to Bret Contreras 🙏🏻

Thank you for the awareness and education, you are not called "The Glute Guy" for no reason. Keep doing awesome content like this.

[@toniportenier4374]

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Can you make a video of the 3 best weighted glute exercises in the gym? And can you do a video on the three best bodyweight glute exercises?

[@BeckieAnnabell]

Odd request. I'm seeing alot of female influencers sell glute plans with butt implants. I am shocked at how so many young girls online cannot tell the difference from real muscle to fake and fall for it when these girl's know nothing about glutes. Could you do a comparison or explanation? 🍑

[@SuraiyahFitness]

I dont know HOW they can't tell the difference! I really don't. Implants and lifts tend to have certain telltale signs, and it's not just the size of the butt that can be an indicator. It's usually that odd, concave, pointy ass shape. I'm not anti surgery, and you can be a fit person who has undergone surgery and still have knowledge about working the glutes. but it is very shady to act like you've come by glutes the old fashioned way, when you haven't.

[@samaalnassiry7541]

Look for the tailbone and see if the rounding starts above it or below it. There should be a small amount of volume above the tailbone for lower back muscles but it’s thickness should be consistent with the rest of the back, if you see the butt looking super high above the tailbone that’s just not anatomically possible naturally.

[@BeckieAnnabell]

Implants, fillers. Still new gym goers have no clue. They put their trust in them. I can easily tell, I have trained long enough. I just wish more honesty goes into it if they sell plans. 🥴🥺

[@LK-vz8xc]

When I was at the beginning of my fitness journey I also couldn’t tell the difference

[@garydouglas9413]

Soon, we will see fake biceps and triceps and pecs.

[@brooklynforever1990]

Honestly. Integrity. Knowledge. Doesn’t get better. Thanks man 🙏🏾

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I remember watching that infomercial on a number of occasions. If you've dealt with insomnia then you watch what comes on tv late at night. I always thought it looked more like the women lost weight than anything else. I didn't know that program was by Beach Body though. I know that they have "coaches" that work with people who do different Beach Body programs. I subscribed to what I thought was a KZbin channel of someone who decorated her home beautifully for the holidays. It turns out she's one of their coaches. She does talk about that. I'm not knocking her hustle. I just like to get fitness information from someone who is a personal trainer and has studied the human body. Edit: One of the things I used to hear people say that never made sense to me . Someone would be talking about another person who started working out and then for whatever reason stopped working out. So they would say "Well you know that muscle just turned into fat." I'd just stare at them wondering how muscle just up and changed into fat aka adipose tissue? Now if they were talking about muscle atrophy I'd at least think they were onto something.

[@kamogelomaile]

I heard something soo sketchy from this one guy who plays rugby - he said (and I’m not kidding) in order to build muscle, you need FAT SO THAT YOUR BODY CAN CONVERT THAT INTO MUSCLE 🤣🤣🤣🤣 literally said that you need fat for muscle growth, and so when you work out you don’t burn the fat off, oh no, your body converts it into muscle. No fat? Sorry luv. No muscle Sir. How does that make any kind of sense??🤣🤣🤣

[@ClaireEmilia]

God noo!!! Why are people so dumb? My mother in Law (who is even a PE teacher) said that I should not gain to much muscle because of I don't Work out the muscle will turn into fat 😂😂

[@Noelliuss]

There Is no under butt, train the glutes and ham.

[@hannib9322]

It is not possible to spot reduce fat. You'd have to reduce your all over body fat by a calorie deficit and hope that this area will be reduced by that too. But I'd suggest to just build muscle, it will balance everything out.

[@TheLadyQuashia]

What's also unfortunate is that the girls in the before and afters of the program actually didn't change their glutes. Yes, they lost weight and got more toned, but no other difference glute-wise. It shouldn't be sold as a glute program. Carido/ whole body, maybe... definitely not glutes.

Because they had models and a celebrity or two in the infomercial. So people figured it must be effective.

As someone who has bought the Brazilian butt lift DVD’s you mention many years ago when I was a teen, then discovered your blog & t-nation posts about advanced glute training & the glute myth, and is now a current law student, I found your questions about whether or not it’s even legal to make false representations like that interesting.
