Before you start training the gluteus maximus, you should first familiarise yourself with the anatomy (by the way, this does not only apply to the gluteus maximus, but also to all other muscle groups). The gluteal muscle consists of 3 subdivisions.
The large gluteal muscle
It is one of the largest muscles in the human body (!), attaches to the femur and arises after half of the ilium, the sacrum and coccyx.
Its most important function is to extend the hip joint. It stabilises the pelvis and thus keeps the upper body upright both when standing and walking. It also enables abduction (away from the body) and adduction (= towards the body) of the thigh in the hip joint.
The middle gluteal muscle
The gluteus medius arises fan-like on the outside of the iliac crest and attaches to the bony prominence of the femur.
It is primarily responsible for abduction of the hip joint. Its anterior fibres provide flexion (bending) and internal rotation and the posterior fibres provide extension (stretching) and external rotation of the hip joint. If you want to train the gluteus medius specifically, it is best to choose wide sumo squats or banded sidewalks.
