glutei
Muscles you sit
Glutei is the plural of gluteus, referring to the three muscles of each buttock—gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
These muscles control hip movement and are among the largest and most powerful in the human body.
The term appears in anatomy and fitness contexts: Squats and lunges target the glutei.
The informal shortening glutes is more common in everyday speech.
