I can attest to this. My glutes were dead and weak, focused on ATG split squats, single leg glute bridges, and Bulgarian split squats, and it has helped me reactivate them and improve in weighted squats among other things

[@moversodyssey]

ATG and bulgarian split squats are a great way to open up the hip flexors and help reactivate the glutes. It's almost impossible to get them back online if those hips stay tight.

Hi! I’m just here to tell you how much I love your page. And how much it has helped me out. I was building big glutes in the gym but could barely move and felt little mobility. Plus I didn’t want to be in the gym doing what’s popular rn. I wanted to love my body and build it in a way that will last. I started following this glute program and my legs and whole body all together feel amazing, my but is not as big as before but i truly feel so amazing. I even got arrested and the cops could not get me down until 12 of them came because my legs were grappling theirs and it was such a transformative experience. I watch all of your videos and every one of them is helpful. Especially learning how to build my posterior chain and learning to breathe because movement starts from within. Truly grateful fan of this channel! Thanks 🙏🏾

[@moversodyssey]

[@mobys1094]

I work as a sports fysio and indeed i see this a lot in people with low back pain. When doing a hip bridge really focus on the glutes by tilting your pelvis backwards. If not you can compensates with your quads and erector spinea. Keep up the good videos

[@moversodyssey]

Thank you, glad your enjoying the content!

[@cnctroubleshooting9052]

Wow, great video! I don’t know how long it takes you to make one of these but it’s really worth it for some of us thank you so much. I’ve worked out my entire adult life and just had a fusion in my back. The physical therapist said I have “sleepy glutes“. His plan was just like yours. So I’ve been working on them like crazy. We actually have a machine at the gym that does hip thrusts like you document at 4:19 in the video. It does the same motion except it has a thick pad so the bar isn’t digging into your gut. Me and one girl are the only ones I’ve ever seen use it, and I have actually caught a couple guys sniggering when I use it. Whatever… all strength starts with the connection to the ground and I’m getting better connected every day. My glutes are waking up, and my jeans are fitting just a little bit better…

[@moversodyssey]

Glad your enjoying the content! There seems to be a stigma against men training glutes for some reason, but it makes no sense at all. Glutes are the strongest muscle of the body and responsible for the power behind all the "manly" athletic feats seen in sports and daily life. Personally, when my glutes are strong my entire body feels better and I overall feel much sturdier and stronger.

Immense gratitude for this video. I've been struggling with what an increase of sitting has done to me in the last few years as a result of a career change and have had issues with my piriformis muscle and dead butt syndrome. My OLD physiotherapist did not give me a very good home program, but unfortunately, I'm having to wait to find a new physiotherapist. I am very grateful for the program you outline at around the 5 minute mark. I will be sure to utilize it in my personal rehab. Much appreciation, Sir. 🙏😁

[@moversodyssey]

I'm glad it's helping out, I often see piriformis muscles over activate when the glutes are weak so hopeful this will do the trick. Good luck with the program!

[@HeartlessKnave]

Every next day DOMS where my glutes are sore is a happy day, cause I'm baking that cake. 🎂 I also recommend standing desks and doing glute isometrics throughout the day, which are similar to the glute contraction recommended but done with more intensity and to "failure". Clench those cheeks as firmly as you can until you can't anymore, also move your hips side to side and forward and backward for extra credit. Stretches out hip flexors, helps with reducing excessive anterior pelvic tilt, and of course activates and strengthen/grows your glutes.

[@overratedfool6900]

I wish I'd seen this video, or one like it, sooner. I remember programming hip thrusts for myself for the first time around six months into lifting. Everything seemed wrong about the exercise. My strength wasn't lining up with my expectations when looking at strength standard websites or YT video anecdotes, when compared to my other lifts. I could deadlift three plates but not even fully lockout one plate on the hip thrust (off of memory anyway). No matter where I put my feet, it was never my glutes that I felt, always just varying degrees of hams and quads (mostly hams for sure). I ended up just giving up on the exercise after a few weeks as to be honest it is a bit awkward to setup anyway. I also came away thinking that maybe (not even joking) upper hammies is just where you fee your glutes, maybe it's just be where the tendons insert or something. It's 18 months later now and I do now know what my glutes working actually feels like. I've felt them a few times on higher rep deadlift sets and I can actually feel DOMS in them right now as I type this from playing cricket two days ago (which is not an area cricket used to give me DOMS). I can deadlift five plates now, and I'm definitely going to programme hip thrusts again soon because of this video and I can't wait to actually be able to train my glutes properly. It is good to know that you can do some things wrong but if you have enough of the rest together, you will get that result you wanted with enough time. It could have been a lot faster though if I'd seen a great video like this back then.

[@moversodyssey]

Now I know, starting from the Glutes and working my way out, so to speak. Great video.

[@PRINCEASOHRO]

Great guide to glutes workout 💯👍. But why did you leave out the squat exercise (bodyweight & barbell) tho??🤔

[@moversodyssey]

Squats can be a great glute workout as well, but they also greatly engage the quads and adductors. So a lot of people with dormant glutes will do heavy squats and compensate heavily with those muscles and never really stimulate the glutes. I find if the glutes are already dormant, its best to wait until the glutes are reactivated and have caught up to the quads in strength before squatting. But for sure, squatting is a great exercise and if done properly can provide great glute work.

[@PRINCEASOHRO]

@@moversodyssey i get your point that's true, dormant glutes will want substitute the task to surrounding muscles

[@seanl6478]

My lower back pain makes me feel like I’m 109 years old. Thanks Arm. Getting out of bed is brutal. I hope this is the answer. I’m only 33

[@moversodyssey]

Probably worth it to get an xray or mri if its that bad, just to see if you have a bulging disc or some other structural damage. Though SI joint pain can be pretty bad like your describing as well. Google image search si joint and see if thats where your pain is. If so I'd get an SI belt, learn to manually release the psoas (with something like a lacrosse ball or the pso-rite) and start strengthening the whole posterior chain, especially the glutes. Good luck my friend

[@MegaMarkoTV]

As a start you can sit on a pilates ball which will teach your muscles to keep the lower spine straight, contrary to sitting on the couch where gravity pulls your upper weight pressure directly on bent lower spine

[@fp7290]

What exercise would you recommend for groin/adductors mobility? and when/how often to incorporate it?

[@moversodyssey]

Adductors adduct the legs as well as internally rotate them, so you want at least one exercise for each of those in your routine at any given time. I've had great luck with cossack squats and shin box rotations or horse stance holds and deep squat internal/external thigh rotations. Really wide stance sumo squats with lighter weight is a great one as well, pretty under rated for adductor strength and mobility I would say.

I am curious whether you have opinion about semen retention and willing to share it?

[@moversodyssey]

I'm glad you find the videos helpful! As far as semen retention goes, it's something I've been very curious about. I haven't seen much scientific literature on it but I've read a lot about ancient traditions and heard a lot of personal accounts. The theoretical connection to cerebrospinal fluid in particular has piqued my interest, though I know a lot of the current content around the subject tends to look more at testosterone. I've personally done retention for a few months and many times I've done it for a few weeks. I do notice a greater sense of focus in particular after a week or so and a more intense feeling of grounding in my daily life. It's something I intend to experiment more with in the near future though.

[@fundamentyinformacji8672]

​@@moversodysseyThank you, I guess it's probably something that we just have to experiment by ourselves because my intuition tells me it's not really easy to test it scientificaly. I mean I always loved science but as I get older I realise more that there is ofhen given too much credit to that in ways that some people preach that so called "science" is answer to everything and holds "universal truth". I believe that "science" is just a human tool to help (or influence) human decisions but I don't see how it could explain our all experiences. I feel like some hardcore scientifical ideologies would be okay with removing human experience from the world just because human motivations and desires are seen in these views as irrelevant and irrational.

I can tell you a lot of the guys on the boxing gym who seem to be able to hit hard without much effort? A lot of them. Have you know some glutes? And maybe it's weird for me to look, especially as a straight guy. But you know when people are better than you and they seem like they don't even have to try that hard. You start analyzing okay? Why are they better? Where are they different? And that gluten hip strength, especially if you're rotating and getting your hips involved makes a huge difference in punching power. So I'm enjoying your video because now maybe I can increase my punches without trying by trying some of these techniques
