Butts & Guts – The Take-No-Prisoners, Posterior Chain and Core, Strength Training Class

Butts and Guts is a strength class that shapes your butt and leans out your stomach.  Butts and Guts is an original program built by Dawn Anderson.  In designing the Butts and Guts class, Dawn draws from the conjugate powerlifting system, the works of Bret Contreras, and Muscle Activation Techniques.

Central in its design is the maintenance and restoration of proper hip and lower back stability.  A true Exercise-is-Medicine based class, Butts and Guts reduces unnecessary stress on your knees and loading on your back caused by poor body mechanics.

What about my Arms?  Butts and Guts incorporates a wide variety of pushing exercises (e.g. burpees, presses, etc.) and pulling exercises (bent over row, curls, dumbbell cleans, etc.)

    Mitchell Scott –

    I like the “Butt & Guts” class because it focuses so heavily on the lower body and core. When I joined Sand & Steel 2 months ago, my core, glutes and quads were areas I wanted to strengthen, especially my core! I also love the fact I’m completely exhausted when the class is over.

    “Butts and Guts” is a great class because it focuses on two primary areas I have been wanting to strengthen, specifically the core because a strong core is needed for every movement in crossfit! I also really enjoy that we do similar movements every week like the hip thrusters and I can see myself improving and getting stronger.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. I agree those are some of the key elements of the class.

    The “butts and guts” class kicks my butt. I appreciate the heavy emphasis on lower body and the amount of volume one is pushed to do in the class. I’ve seen gains in every aspect of my lower body after only a month or two of taking this class consistently. Highly recommend!

    • Paul Roberts –

      Volume and simplicity are key elements of this class. Thanks for the feedback.

    Personally, legs and core is my fav workout of all time. I’d chose those workouts every time, all the time, if it wouldn’t leave the rest of my body so unbalanced and weak.
    I thoroughly enjoy each class that S&S offers. However, I love the specific focus that the “Butts & Guts” class offers. For me, the glutes are the hardest to target without recruiting the other muscles to “help”. In more the more dynamic/compound CrossFit movements, it’s harder for me to properly target/engage the glutes/core. B&G solves that problem. The class also offers more ways challenge them than I could ever come up with on my own; I never get bored. 😀 Since starting the class, there is a noticeable improvement in my strength and physique. I definitely recommend taking this class.
