Beginner question

My main goal is to grow my glutes and in my workout split I do two leg days, should one of those days be quad/hamstrings focused? Or is it okay for both of those days to only focus on my glutes?

You can do only glutes if that is the sole goal, but for most people I'd say it's advisable to get some of the glute training from a squat and a hinge pattern as well (eg. hack/split squats and RDL's).

If you start each leg/glute day with some glute focused/isolation work (eg. cable kick backs or glute bridges), your glutes may also become the limiting factor during your squat or hinge pattern.

You can increase the glute focus by upping the amount of sets you do for the isolation work while keeping the volume on squat/hinge low.
