M&F's Butt-Blasting Workout
You don't need to go all-out all the time during this program. You don't need to reach failure on every set, you don't need a raging pump after every workout and you certainly don't need to be painfully sore the next day. Instead, gradually increase your poundage as your rep ranges descend over the four weeks. During week 1, as you learn and perfect your technique on the various exercises, find a weight that causes you to fail after 20 reps and use that for your 15-12-10 sequence. During weeks 2-3, use a weight that causes failure at 15 reps and use it as you move down from 12 reps. During week 4, use a weight that causes failure at 10 reps for workout 2. Alternatively, advanced bodybuilders might want to consider manipulating intensity based on their one-rep max for the various exercises, starting at 65%-70% in week 1 and advancing to 90%-95% in week 4.

++ To maximize glute involvement, use a weight light enough to allow you to complete the prescribed number of reps, descending several inches below parallel out of a wider-than-usual stance.
Good luck
