Bret Contreras Glute Guy
Bret Contreras, PhD, CSCS,*D.
I want to help you grow your glutes! And delts. And legs. And arms.
My expertise involves the glutes, biomechanics, strength, and hypertrophy training. I’m most known for inventing the barbell hip thrust in 2006, but I’ve been lifting for 33 years, personal training for 28 years, and publishing research for 14 years. I own 2 gyms and train over 50 clients in person at these locations.
I’ve deadlifted 650 lbs, hip thrusted 800 lbs, published over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, written 3 books, and spoken at over 70 invited international lectures. I'm the founder of Booty by Bret, BC Strength, Glute Lab, and StrongLifting. I’m still hitting PRs in my late 40s!
I’m proud to be an evidence-based practitioner and in a position to help steer the industry in the right direction through innovative strategies and experimentation.

It's not fun being the bad guy and never catering to clients' desires to drastically change up their training every week.
I know my clients get sick of always hammering the 10 main movement patterns (hip thrusts, squats, deads, lunges, back extensions, bench, military, push ups, chins, and rows).
I know progressive overload is daunting, especially as you get more advanced.
I know they'd love to walk in and say, "What are we doing today," and hear me say, "Today we're gonna switch it up and have you do (something radically different)."
Trust me, I'd love to make them temporarily happy by giving them an easy workout, or straying from the plan, or being like, "Let's try this bloodflow restriction workout today." (not saying BFR doesn't work...just using it as an example)
But in the long run, they're gonna be happiest if you help them accomplish their physique and strength goals.
Good coaches are boring because it gets results, not because they lack creativity.
