These are muscles as deserving of respect and attention as any other. And in the case of the gluteus maximus; it possesses the potential to carry more power and size than any other muscle in the body. Sometimes it appeared that Mr. Gironda's assertion was that only men shouldn't build their butts. This seems like a sexist opinion.
