optimizing position might help some, but... (just had to.... )

conditioning...

this chart showing muscle usage thru the pedal stroke, http://www.cyclingforums.com/cycling...used-ride.html (about 1/2 way down page...) , has been around for ages, sure it's here on BF also, but too much trouble to find at the moment.
course this changes slightly depending on position - TT vs road vs track - and individual muscle balance.
there is some great oldtime humor about trainers & soigneurs commenting about the early season riding 'form' of euro pros, based on the development state of their gluts...
mostly pyscho/sick bikie stuff, but funny.

stop reachin for that soap...
stop whinin, go ride
