Description

In this episode of HYDRATE, Tracy sits down with Bret Contreras, PhD, the world-renowned 'Glute Guy' and inventor of the revolutionary hip thrust exercise.

With a PhD in Sports Science, Bret has established himself as a leading researcher, author, and personal trainer who transformed the fitness landscape. From his beginnings as a high school math teacher to founding the successful Booty by Bret brand and Glute Lab gyms, Bret pioneered a global movement focused on the science of glute training and has been the industry's go-to expert for over a decade.

This conversation goes far beyond the gym, exploring the evolution of fitness trends from the 90s to today's glute-centric culture. Bret pulls back the curtain on the dark side of the competitive fitness world, discussing the rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs, the psychological toll of body dysmorphia, and the immense role genetics play in achieving a desired physique. He also shares his personal journey with financial success, purpose, and the surprising keys to finding genuine happiness and life balance.
