Our standards
Editorial policy
Glute Compass exists to make training decisions easier to understand. We explain what the evidence supports, where the answer depends on the individual, and when a question belongs with a qualified professional.
How articles are put together
Articles begin with a specific reader question. We compare the practical options and look first to position stands, systematic reviews, controlled trials, government health resources, and clinical anatomy references. Sources appear beside the sections they support, and uncertainty is stated when the evidence is limited or mixed.
How we choose external videos
We select videos that demonstrate a movement clearly or add a helpful coaching perspective. A video is not treated as research, and including it does not endorse every claim, product, or link from its creator. The supporting evidence remains on our written pages.
Health and safety
Our content is educational and cannot diagnose pain, injury, hormonal conditions, or other health concerns. We point out situations that deserve help from a clinician, registered dietitian, or appropriately qualified coach. Training examples are general starting points, not personal prescriptions.
Equipment coverage
Equipment pages explain product categories rather than promote brands. We focus on what a tool does, which movements it supports, what to check before use, and whether a simpler alternative can do the same job.
Corrections and updates
We update pages when better evidence, safer guidance, or meaningful equipment changes make an explanation incomplete. If a correction changes the meaning of a recommendation, it will be noted on the page.
