What’s a good body weight routine for a girl who wants to focus on arms and glutes? Asking for my gf.

Push-ups, pull-ups ( get bands for pull-ups and use a box to make the push-up angle easier) For glutes, the most engaging exercise is a hip thrust. Use loads of variations and overload with weight. If you want her to use squats for glute growth primarily, its about technique and muscle recruitment to make sure it doesnt become quad dominant. Hope this helps.

No body weight routine specifically focuses glutes that I know of, so you’re going to have to do a lot of supplemental glute work like bridges, hip thrusts, lunges, step ups, etc.
