glutes
Squat workout targets
Glutes is the casual term for gluteal muscles—the three muscles forming each buttock.
The word appears constantly in fitness contexts: My glutes are sore from yesterday's squats, This exercise really targets your glutes.
The singular glute refers to one buttock or one side's muscles: I pulled my left glute.
