They’re a classic for a reason, hitting your glutes in all the right ways while strengthening your legs and core. But here’s the thing: not all squats are created equal. Some work your glutes harder than others, and knowing the difference can take your booty gains to the next level.

Instead of focusing solely on the concept of lifespan, which simply refers to the quantity of years lived, we should think about the construct of “strengthspan,” which emphasizes the quality of life in terms of physical strength and function. A greater strengthspan means an individual may not only…
