A Scientific Guide to Determine an Exercise’s Effectiveness

[@danielgalvez8118]

Amazing video! Would you ever consider going through scientific articles and explaining how you interpret the research? This could definitely help us viewers develop our scientific literacy

[@bretcontreras1]

Yes, this is a good idea 👍🏽

[@Whynormald]

Yes I agree please

[@serisingh]

I log\ve how this is both technical and practically helpful! The nerd in me really appreciates his analytical approach!

[@RoRiodd]

I recently started slowly going back to weights after a neck injury. I am over 40 and I feel like is so hard to achieve anything. Thanks so much for all the info.

[@Deezy381]

Preach!

[@xmswayzemx]

I've noticed it across all media and social media. If it's negative or hurtful, it boosts the algorithm, gets people's attention, and sells. So sad the world we live in.

[@bretcontreras1]

Sad, and mostly pathetic on the part of the social media platforms

[@chill_nrg5349]

I'm so glad you made this video

[@SirAlexanderdeLarge]

Wow, this was like a college course condensed in a quarter of an hour! 🤓🧠

[@danielalbornoz2441]

ive really enjoy this video. thank u Dr bret

[@travis8947]

The best trainers teach you to be independent. Thanks, Bret

[@annacama8313]

Thank you for sharing this information Mr. Contreras!

[@EspadasYCopas]

Doing your exercises and following your Home program, is the only time ive felt soreness,pumping and burning of my glutes. Thank you very much Bret, greetings from Chile.

[@serisingh]

I’d love to see a video where you apply these strategies to rank or review the staple and some accessory lifts for a particular purpose. Exa: hip thrust ranked above squat for glute development. It would also be super cool to see a chart of % muscle group recruitment for each exercise. So I could select an exercise that might grow one muscle group more than another. I know that probably depends person to person, but even ballpark % estimates would be nice!

[@bretcontreras1]

This is a great idea 👌🏽

[@RachelSawyer78]

Thank god for you Bret! Love your videos 😀

Useful AF! Hope you reach over Millions of subscribers sooner.

Always love these videos! I’m also not a fan of dogmatic trainers that trash exercises or machines, there’s a use for all the tools in the toolbox!😊

[@AketaDanielle]

Thank you Bret! Well done!! Thank you for bring logic into the field. You are awesome!!

[@laceyziegler1211]

Absolutely great video, I recently stumbled upon you KZbin page and they are informative and helpful. Thank you so much for making great videos ☺️

[@lafelixbr]

Great content Bret! Agree 100% with you.

[@charlesdelg]

Concordo, a maioria dos estudos são curtos e tem amostras pequenas. Raramente as amostras são grandes.

[@alexisweathington1423]

Absolutely wonderful, I appreciate your content 🎉🎉🎉😍

[@macrocoachkellimichelle]

Yes!!! Great 👍 explanation Bret

[@Lucycote]

[@damianthonyd]

Wow this video was incredibly informative, thank you!!

[@ecosan2655]

Would you upload the 40 min version talking about the flaws of all methods?

[@PrezzMr]

Great info 🙌💯

[@alfredalfredo5080]

Love the intro music

[@sagpop]

Love this video- it’s so helpful. Thank you!!!

[@maryammoradi2899]

Great info🙏👌👌👌🌺

[@eziocutarelli678]

I think that remote clinical trials could really go a long way to solve this dilema.

[@cinthyatrujillo5883]

Awesome video, lots of science 🤓

[@garryjohnbrewer512]

Love this, very well explained 🙌🏽

[@aliciamatute4054]

Love you ☺ thanks

[@Danaclerici]

This was very much needed! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@diarakazemi97]

🤩🤩🤩🤩 we need more of these

[@diarakazemi97]

Fire one bret

[@sgordon4181]

As long as I can understand how to do these other nontraditional exercises!

[@davidaddiego5620]

When you do a hip thrust, do you want your lumbar spine to be straight with the rest of the spine or leave the spine in it’s natural curve?

[@jasmines9228]

What if you see the tension in the glutes and when you palate the muscle its hard, but you don't feel the burn in the glutes. I always feel it in hamstring and have soreness in the hamstrings.

[@jamieeverson9048]

I have very few social media influencers that I trust. I follow quite a few but I usually take what they say with a grain of salt. You are definitely one I trust!

[@bretcontreras1]

Gracias!

[@joelnoel]

When is it a good time to up the weight on hip thrusts?

[@NAB5803]

Great vídeo Bret! We need more critical thinking, than dicotomy views, including by some pseudoscience gurus. 👏👏👏

[@inmate1614]

I'm getting back into training for the first time in several years due to back problems and the glutes are a top priority! Miss my old ass and glad you can help my motivation! What's the intro track you use btw?

[@missygee6155]

Excellent common sense advise as well as expert experience 👏 as always.

[@noaindira5477]

Can someone tell me what he said

[@beatrizsp3943]

Hi Bret, I'd like you to talk about inverted triangle booties, I have one and it is a nightmare. Is it possible to achieve a beautiful shape for that kind of glutes? I'm tired of feeling ashamed of myself.

[@MayaAgrippine]

Awesome content as always. We need variations, we need to make training fun and effective. That is my style of training as a trainer and my clients love the variety. They are never bored and yet they get massive results. Like you said .... it is super easy just to sit on your ass and comment on others training styles and what is good and not good, what should have been done or not ..... she should be doing this instead of that ....Gosh .... Why don't they do their own unique training videos instead? Love your deep knowledge Bret

[@bretcontreras1]

Amen! Or just be respectful when critiquing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jeremytan3681]

Why does this only have 26k views

[@VW1030]

My G_d you have common sense spewing from your pores...I ❤️ it.

[@tulip7166]

I have to understand, the rule- " no pain no gain", its true? If I'm not feel my muscles burn the next day even if o worked really hard its mean I didn't made a change? My workout wasn't effective if I don't feel that burn of the next day?

[@AlanWangVideos]

I've always wondered how big will your glutes continue to grow? I see some bodybuilders and their glutes aren't huge but they're bigger than the average. Is it genetics?

[@komoru]

@ 7:45 I will have to try "palpating" other women at the gym to make sure they're activating their glutes. 🤣🙃

[@diarakazemi97]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Bunnie333]

Bret PLEASE HELP!!! Im trying to grow my glutes and I want an answer from YOU bc I TRUST you!! There's a new guy on KZbin and tiktok last name Alvarez he's from L.A. he says to workout 7-8 glute workouts 2-3x a week. I usually do 3 glute excersises but I'm never sore at the end of the day. But 7-8 excersies I'll be in the gym for 2plus hours a day. But when I do 3 glute excersises and I'm not ever sore, I'll workout my glutes for 3 days in a row until I'm sore. When I did 7 workouts in a day I was super super sore!!! Do do u recommend me doing something in the middle? Like around 5-6 different glute excersies a day 3x a week? And is my 3 glute excersises without getting sore 4 plus times a week not going to do much for growth ? I just don't now how much excersises I should be doing a day for my glutes 3x a week and how sore I should be. I usually get super sore but my glutes I workout all the time so I don't get sore there anymore very much.

[@raynlandicho5592]

I love all your videos!! ❤️ But I just wanna ask if there’s any way to grow jiggly glutes? Because I’ve been training my glutes for a while now; and my exercises are heavily based on your videos, and articles on your website with proper nutrition as well. I love the results, but I just would like to know if there’s any way to make butt not too hard (muscled), and more fat jiggly if that makes sense lol because I noticed mine feels muscled and very hard

[@tealblue137]

I doubt you can do that, maybe you could just keep your body fat percentage a little bit higher or focus on making them bigger instead of denser (if that’s even a thing). I feel like a firm butt at the end of the day will always be jiggly anyway maybe you’re looking into it too much

[@raynlandicho5592]

@@tealblue137 yeah lol fr ur right my mom scolds me saying i look into it too much

[@victorfranca85]

I do isometric holds in bed. Prove me wrong !!!!
