Direct answer: Two or three gluteal sessions can be organization options. The difference depends on the total work, the difficulty of the sets and the recovery between sessions. The frequency should help to better execute the program, and not just increase the amount of days.

Count the sessions that require buttocks, including exercises present on leg days. A squat in quadriceps training can also involve the hip. Separating the chips by name does not eliminate the overlap between muscles and does not guarantee recovery.
Distribute work
With two sessions, it can be possible to concentrate more exercises per day. With three, the same work can be divided into smaller sessions. The choice needs to consider how you yield at the end of the session and if you arrive recovered to the next training, in addition to the availability of schedules.
Register an example without copying the prescription
An educational organization can alternate one day with priority in hip extension, another with leg exercises and a shorter third. This illustrates distribution; sets and loads depend on evaluation. Avoid adding a third session without reviewing what is already done in the other two.
What to record and discuss
- List every exercise of the week that requires buttocks.
- Register performance at the beginning and end of sessions.
- Combine redistribution before increasing frequency.
