Workout Summary

Glute Specialization: 8-Week Build

Two glute-priority leg days drive the whole program. Two lighter optional days cover upper body and core so you stay balanced without frying recovery. Short stair-walk finishers only on glute days β€” the plan is intentionally trimmed so you actually finish every session.

Who it's for

  • Lifters who want a clear plan with zero guesswork
  • Athletes returning from a layoff or chasing a new PR
  • Anyone tired of stitching together random YouTube workouts

What you get

  • Full week-by-week progression
  • Every session with sets, reps and rest
  • Substitutions from the Onyx exercise library
  • Nutrition, supplementation and recovery guidance

Pre-session protocol

Warm-up Β· do this before every workout

Nutrition

Nutrition Β· Women

Hit a daily protein target of 0.8–1 g per pound of bodyweight, anchor meals around whole-food carbs, and stay within Β±300 kcal of the goal (surplus, maintenance or deficit) for the duration of the block.

Supplementation

Supplementation

Creatine monohydrate (5 g/day), a quality whey or plant protein to backfill daily protein, electrolytes around training, and vitamin D3 + magnesium for recovery.

Sleep & Recovery

Sleep & Recovery

Sleep 7–9 hours, walk 8–10k steps/day, protect one true rest day, and reduce intensity any week sleep or stress fall off a cliff.

Training Overview

Training Overview

Sessions pair the highest-return compound from the Onyx library with focused accessory work. Volume rises in waves and deloads on schedule so nothing breaks down.

8 Weeks Β· Progression

Progression

Weeks 1–2 build technique and baseline loads. Mid-block (weeks 3–5) progressively overload top sets. Final weeks intensify, then deload + retest in the closing week.

FAQ

FAQ

Can I move sessions around to fit my schedule?

Yes - keep the order of training days but swap which calendar day they land on. Avoid stacking the two hardest sessions back-to-back.

What if I miss a workout?

Slide the week back by one day rather than doubling up. Recovery is the variable that creates progress.
