Is there progress between my 2nd and 3rd pics?. Am I at a plateau with glute growth? I'm just over 2 years in.

Second slide is of 2023 and 2024.

Bodyweight is 160lbs for the 2023 and 2024 pics. I'm wondering what others think: is this decent progress for 2 years in? My online coach and a friend both say I've made progress. I'm personally underwhelmed.

For my routine, I've done my leg days as glute/quad and glute/ham. A heavy squat variation and a deadlift variation on their respective days. Hip thrusts on both days. I also did leg presses somewhat often at last year. Cable kickbacks were also done routinely. These were my main exercises. Up until February or March of this year, I did glute/quad and glute/ham back-to-back. That worked really well for me (as shown with the 1st and 2nd pics) so I kept doing that. I'm going to bulk pretty soon and this time I'll definitely space put my leg days. I went overboard on bulking up last year, so most of this year has just been cutting.

I'm thinking I may be at a plateau. I'm thinking maybe my body is too accustomed to working glutes twice a week. I'm going to try just one leg day a week for a while and after a few weeks into my bulk, I'll go back to 2 leg days. I'd prefer to not do 3 leg days. That would be annoying.

It maybe plateaued because you said you've been focused on cutting lately. I wouldn't cut down to 1 leg day. I don't think that's enough stimulation. I think twice a week is like the minimum. I also think there might be a physiological limit of natural growth without adding some sort of steroids or PEDS.

Oh yeah, I definitely don't advocate for using drugs either. I'm just pointing out that I think everyone somewhat plateaus in size at some point or at least the rate of growth slows way down. It looks like you made amazing progress that first year anyways. That's such an accomplishment!
