You just found the most downloaded health, fitness and entertainment podcasts in the world. This is MindPump, today's episode, the real reason your butt won't grow. We break it down and we give you the fix. We help you build your butt.

So Super Patch is wild. It's a wearable technology that focuses on helping people optimize how they feel and perform. So it's a patch you put on your arm. Now check this out. Here's the weird part. Doesn't have medicine in it. Doesn't have supplements or herbs. It's literally just the patch. So you're probably thinking what I thought when I was first introduced, this is hocus pocus. This doesn't really work. Well, then I saw the studies. I went over a dozen studies showing that these patches are efficacious. In fact, the pain patch from Super Patch is as effective as taking an NSAID. Literally taking a pain medicine.

It's as powerful as that. Now, how does it work? It uses what's called haptic technology. This is a new field of research. There are ridges on the patch that contact the skin, send a signal to the brain, and change how the brain operates and perceives things. They have a pain patch, a sleep patch, they have one for relaxation and more. They really work, it's really wild. You gotta try it out yourself. Go to mindpump.superpatch.com.

The real reason your butt won't grow has nothing to do with how hard you're working. It's because you're training backwards. You've been going to the gym off and on for years, but your butt looks exactly the same. You've been told to eat less and do specific exercises like squats and hip thrusts, glute bridges, lunges, glute machines. You've done all that and the size of your butt, it hasn't changed. It's not because your genetics are cursed.

There is a solution, but the amount of lies, bad products and horrible workout programs are distracting you from the truth that took us years as personal trainers to finally understand. In this episode, we're gonna show you why you don't have the butt you want yet. And I'll tell you what, this works if you can't work out every day. It works if you're a busy mom. It works if you don't have a gym membership, if you don't have a lot of time, if you've never worked out consistently. Here's the truth I want you to remember, you cannot shrink your weight to a better butt, you have to build one. Don't forget, the glutes are a muscle. And here's some of the things you're gonna learn in today's episode to transform your butt. We're gonna talk about diet, we're gonna talk about how to lift, we're gonna talk about how to maintain the round butt that you built. Let's get to it.

Adam Schafer (3:34)

I'd have to say this is probably, first of all, we talk about 60% of our clients as personal trainers were female clients. A majority of them wanted to lose weight, but even the ones that wanted to lose weight also always had this goal, I want to build a butt, I want to build a butt also, and this was always a main focus, and I'd say of that 60% clientele, 80% of that, so a majority of the people I trained, this was the focus, and it was always something that they had been working on for a long time and never felt like they got any traction.
