Drop the dumbbells and head to this machine. Traditional hourglass programs have you doing Bulgarian split squats and RDLs with dumbbells, which are great when you're building a foundation.
But we're not beginners here. Carrying dumbbells caps your load. You're shoulders and traps take a hit. If you want a sculpted upper body but dominant lower body, that's the last thing you need. Machines let you load heavier, stay stable, and actually exhaust the glutes you're trying to grow without growing your upper body. This is allocation, not balance. This is the Teardrop Method. Let's build the actual shape you're after.
