Bret
Contreras (http://bretcontreras.com) is considered by many as the
foremost expert in glutes training. Bret has authored books,
written numerous sports-science related articles, as well as adds
the title of inventor to his attributes thanks to his creation of
"The Hip Thruster."
Although
Bret works with a variety of clients, it is his long
list of female clients who have found success in not
only reshaping their bodies, via Bret's coaching, but reshaping and
redefining what it means to have a great set of glutes. Just look
at the before and after shots on his testimonials page, & you'll
see what we mean.
