Lower-body hypertrophy

Gym (women) / Popular

Program quads, glutes, and hamstrings with balanced volume and progression.

What coaches agree on

  • Build your lower-body sessions around compound lifts β€” squat variations, hip-hinge movements like the RDL, and the hip thrust β€” as the foundation for quad, glute, and hamstring growth.
  • Keep weekly volume moderate and scaled to your experience level β€” more sets stop paying off past a certain point, and beginners need noticeably fewer sets than advanced lifters.

  • Add single-leg or staggered-stance variations alongside your compounds β€” they give you a strong, targeted stimulus without needing heavy loads, so you add volume with less overall fatigue.
