    More like rock climb for a long while right? Beginners will overuse their arms and not use their legs enough, and still even when you’re getting good the distribution of effort is total body so it doesn’t seem butt / glutes specific? If you really want to focus on butt do squats type workouts etc. but I’m being pedantic, rock climbing is awesome more people should do it.

      Well, I did mean what I said. It didn’t take me very long. I used my legs a lot, I suppose?

        Yes you probably have great form, are good at it, and your body type responds well for that effect in that way. Many people would react differently, though. For example if you look at all the elite climbers they all just look really slim and in tight strong shape like swimmers or something. Their butts are in great shape, but just in the normal range like a runner or something.

      I stopped using my arms to go up the stairs everywhere and wow, the difference it makes.

      I’ve gotten used to it now, but in the beginning i felt muscles i never used before.

      Edit: i mean using the arm’s swinging momentum to leap a step up, not literally walking with my hands.
