If you need to start working on that summer body, where better than with some glute exercises. You don’t even need to look up creative workouts to achieve that swimsuit-approved backside. We have a machine specially designed to target glute development, and it is appropriately named the B***y Builder.
For your first time using this machine, try it without adding any weights so that you can become comfortable with the setup and movement involved. Once you sit on the seat, use the orange lever underneath you and the orange k**b beside you to adjust your position to where you can comfortably put your feet on the footpad and upper back on the backrest. Now you are ready to buckle the padded seatbelt over your lap. Braced between your feet and your back, thrust your hips upward against the seatbelt. Try three sets of ten repetitions (reps), and if that is too easy, there are pegs on either side of your hips where you can add weights to increase the difficulty.
Summer is already here, so hurry down to the gym and try out the B***y Builder!

On May 9, Ripley Family Fitness Center was proudly represented at the IFBB Pro League & NPC Memphis Bodybuilding Championship by Emanule Deberry. Deberry has been working out since 2010, and was encouraged by his cousin, Fabian Smith, to compete with him at what would be their first body building competition. Deberry had 5-6 weeks to prepare, whereas many of his competitors had up to a year. Training consisted of 4-5 hours of exercise daily, broken into two workouts. Going into the show, Deberry felt confident in his physique but had some concerns about posing. All his work paid off, though, as he walked away with a second place medal. This only fueled the fire, and Deberry is now training with two coaches for his next competition in October. To anyone aspiring to bodybuilding, Deberry says, “Go for it! If your passion is to be in shape, this will give you a sense of accomplishment. These shows are a great way to share your progress.”
