Why don’t guys focus on glute workouts as much as girls do?

[Ivyravegirl]

I’ve noticed that a lot of women specifically train glutes and lower body at the gym, and it’s become a huge fitness trend. But for guys, most seem way more focused on chest, arms, shoulders, etc.

Is there a reason men usually don’t prioritize glute training as much? Is it just a social/cultural thing, or do most guys simply not care about building glutes? Curious what people think.🤔

Mostly a social and cultural thing. Most straight guys just don’t care about their ass the way girls and gay guys do.

[NoDecision]

Because guys are interested in women's asses and not so much their own, so they encourage women to work out theirs.

I always alternated arms, shoulders, & chest (M/W/F) and then legs & core (T/T/S). I never focused on my ass, but squats, dead lifts, & leg press tend to do enough while also working on quadriceps, hamstrings, lower back, traps, calves, etc. Even leg curls use glutes for stabilization even though you are focusing on your hamstrings. Planks, bridges, and Bird Dogs also work glutes even though they aren't the focus. Since many other exercises work the glutes, there really isn't a reason to focus on them.

Lol, Women work that ass. Men work those arms and chest to ensure they can grasp all that ass with might...

Joking aside , it's not simply aesthetics for men. Most men work arms and chest as it's the core of most physical workout plans and leads to further developments.

For the amateur or gym rat, they "just want to lift" so concentrate on that region.

You can often spot them out, looking like they entered the chop shop with jokers legs, and left with only The Hulk', torso and arms...

Women do that for looks and men tend to work on upper body more, not just for looks, but for more functional strength that helps them more easily lift things and be more effective in a fight when necessary. Women aren't really expected to be able to fight well or be a protector, but men are.

Psychologically & naturally speaking, people care more about what's more attractive in their gender overall.. While most women (and I suppose gay guys) like nice butts on dudes, the main draw is with how masculine he looks which includes trying to broaden his shoulders, chest and arms more. Whereas with women the lower body (aside from the tatas) is what men (and I suppose gay women) usually are attracted to..

I don't particularly find it attractive for girls. Yes, men are more inclined to work out focusing on arms and shoulders, then legs. Building glutes? Hell no. That's the part we use to sit on. The less conspicuous, the better.

[Ivyravegirl]

Umm why it’s not attractive for girls

[Tarifa]

To a certain degree, yes. Too much, no. Just my personal preference. I can't post pictures here, but you'll get what I mean.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

We work out asses off and then you want us to work to put our asses on? There's just no pleasing you people is there... smh

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Because men work out those parts of them that are considered attractive, women work out the parts of them that are they considered attractive, simple as that.

I do a lot of glute work myself.
