It’s easy to underestimate your glutes, until you realize they’re powering nearly every move you make. From climbing stairs and picking things up to standing tall or lying down, your glutes are always working behind the scenes. But when their strength or posture is neglected, your body feels it, and not in a good way.
Strong, toned glutes aren’t just about appearance; they’re a foundation of physical strength. The DB Method machine is designed to target and strengthen these muscles, helping improve balance while reducing strain on your hamstrings and lower back.
In this blog, we’ll break down the real differences between traditional squats and using a glute machine. We’ll also guide you to try both approaches with the help of The DB Method on the Playbook app and show you why the right form and equipment makes all the difference.
Old School Cool: What Traditional Squats Bring to the Table
Traditional squats have earned their prestige as one of the most effective ways to build lower-body strength and stability, targeting everything from your quads and hamstrings to your glutes and calves. They engage multiple muscle groups at once and even activate your core and shoulders. The best part? Squats can be done anywhere, with or without equipment.
But here’s the catch: squats aren’t as easy as they look. Poor form can lead to knee pain, back strain, and muscle imbalances. That’s where the upright squat comes in, a variation that helps reduce pressure on the knees and promotes a more vertical posture. Still, many people struggle with balance and achieving the right depth. The more you go down, the more it focuses on the glutes and hips.
But if you struggle with form or mobility, using a squat assist trainer can make all the difference in your glute workouts. Wondering what it offers? Support, guidance, improved form, and a smoother path to stronger glutes. And yes, a little extra help where it counts. What more could you ask for?
Meet the Glute Machine: Your Personal Coach in Disguise

Let’s talk about the glute machine that’s redefining how we train at home, The DB Method. Say goodbye to disappointing results and forget average home gym gear that ends up gathering dust in storage. This machine was designed with one clear mission: to strengthen your lower body, grow and sculpt your glutes, and activate those key muscles with precision and purpose.
The DB Method glute machines are intentionally designed for optimal glute activation, especially for those who struggle with traditional squats and need the support of a squat assist trainer. They offer added stability and control, helping you move with confidence through every rep and every set.
Results Showdown: What Builds Glutes Faster & Safer?
The key difference in building stronger glutes faster lies in a safer and targeted muscles activation. While traditional squats engage multiple muscle groups, they don’t always provide the focused isolation necessary to effectively strengthen and sculpt the glutes.
When it comes to gym workouts, safety is just as important as muscle growth. Even a slight mistake in squat form can compromise your posture, increasing the risk of strain or injury.
That’s why using a squat assist trainer like The DB Method makes all the difference. It supports proper alignment and posture throughout each rep, minimizing injury risk and boosting your confidence to train consistently.
Ultimately, the secret to great glutes is showing up regularly and committing to perfecting your form with the best glute-focused exercises.
