To effectively target your glutes, focus on performing a proper hip hinge by pushing your hips straight back rather than letting your quads dominate the movement. Incorporating exercises like Bulgarian split squats with a slight forward lean and maintaining a strong mind-muscle connection by squeezing at the top of each rep will maximize glute activation.
