one proper glute day a week is a fair bit less than the usual every-other-day advice though, surprised that worked without dropping size... how long before you noticed the difference, a few weeks or longer?

Right, GWhitfield62, took about three weeks before I noticed owt, size held up fine, if anything the one session was proper intense so maybe thats why. How long you been doing accessory work indoors then, just bodyweight stuff or have you got kit at home?

Three weeks sounds about right, mine was similar when I cut back a routine before... mostly bodyweight stuff out in the shed, squats and donkey kicks and whatnot, dont fancy lugging kit about when its this cold. Got a resistance band knocking about somewhere too if I can find it under all the motorbike bits.
