Squats and deads enough for glutes?

[Clubber Lang]

If I'm doing squats, deads, leg curls, leg extensions, and calve raises for my leg workout, is it necessary to do reverse hyper extensions for my glutes or are my glutes getting enough work from the squats and deads?

Here are reverse hyper extensions:

Do I need them?

 

[The Shadow]

YES!

do them

So I should or should NOT add reverse hyper extensions? I'm already doing squats and deads.

for bodybuilding deep squats and deadlifts are plenty for the glutes IMO. I like the reverse hyper machine but don't readily have access to one so I don't use it unless i'm really trying to assist in chasing some powerlifting numbers.

But I could build some good glutes without doing the reverse hyper machine as long as I'm doing squats and deads, right?

You should do the reverse hyper and glute/ham raise for really powerful glutes and hams.

^^^^ ditto.

for general purposes, you can develop your glutes just fine with squats and deads. but a GHR or reverse hyper....builds "power" in the glutes. hehe. plus, i don't think you'd hurt from having a little junk in the trunk. i doubt you'll get any complaints.

doing just reverse hyper with bodyweights is pretty good in and of itself, you can set it up by facing backwards on a roman chair.

my ass is huge and my hams too. i dont even directly train them. no leg curls, reverse hypers, no mumbo jumbo like that. i just squat and DL like a madman every week.
