How to Squeeze Your Glutes During Hip Thrusters | 3 Things You Are Probably Doing Wrong!

[@Teamshmo]

Pelvis position is really the key. That took me a long time to understand. You can start be laying on your back with your knees bent and pointing, but and try to flatten your back. Just hold it for a couple minutes before you do any of the exercises. This helped me decompress the lower back and shift the focus on my abs. Made it a lot easier to hold that position when doing things like hip thrusts.

You're a genius, you're smart, and you deserve thanks and appreciation because you're the best therapist I've ever seen.

Bro! 😭 you helped me tremendously! I’ve been in so much pain! I was doing hip thrust and idk a week later I was feeling the super tight pain on my left lower back right above the butt cheek. (This was in march) I tried getting a massage, then started going to the going to the chiropractor and well he did say my spine was twisting, so I went to get adjusted 3 times a week and the pain was slowly going so it was a combination of all of it, But it’s been a left tight hamstring the whole time and now I’m getting back into the gym, definitely taking stretching more serious also! I just did some of the exercises and they actually worked! I’m going to definitely put them in my routine from now on! You get my follow sir! Thank you so much! 😁💪🏼

Great information Blake!

[@jwr3289]

Hey, really enjoy your videos absolute wealth of knowledge I've not seen else where so cheers, could I ask you to point me to a video where you explain which muscle pulls shoulders out? Not down (as I think that's the lower trap I saw on another one of your videos) but I mean which muscle exterior rotates the shoulders away from the chest and how best to train it?

[@MsPicklesmom]

Thank you Blake !

[@enriquegonzalez-lara5407]

Thank you so much I really want to work on my health nutrition and mind this has helped me so much just to even listen and understand what you are explaining I hope you keep doing such an amazing job for humanity.

[@i9avici7a5]

A lot of lower body pain has a lot to Do w my glutes- you’ve shown me more than some PTs!

[@josenilsonbarbozadacosta4424]

perfect tips. and you have a very beautiful soul. Congratulations!!!

[@kerrybergman6882]

This is so helpful Blake! I have a client who I suspect has the hamstring issue you mention. This could explain why she’s having atrophy in her glutes lately. I’m a massive fan of Myofascial release. Never thought of incorporating it between sets. Thank you!

[@FrozenwingX]

After a couple years of PT, I've found that hip thrusters seem to help most with my pelvic muscle imbalance, but I always felt like my left hamstrings were doing most of the work. I'll definitely be giving these a try, thanks!

[@veilofmayaa]

Thanks! A much needed tip. Always ended up using my hamstrings during hip thrusters.

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

You got it! Yes, very common

[@scottsheppard6948]

Weirdest question ever...but what brand T shirt are you wearing? Fit looks really good - and Im trying to find some new workout Tees

[@tigergreg8]

Not sure about your budget , but Rhône has some awesome clothes, always nice quality.

[@keenanranch849]

Excellent content! Thank you!

[@Wayneman50]

So my question would be how often does one do these hip thrusters and hamstring weakening exercises Are they done, Once a day? 3 times a week? What is your recommendation. These seem to work well for me.

[@V-Racing.]

So,I should do one of these exercises and after it one set of Hip Thrusters,am i right? P.s I have the same problem in pushups

[@donyeabeamon1553]

Foot position will also take care of not using so much hamstring legs closer to the but and go up half way and squeeze

[@mr.lebeau2015]

[@cobijones3924]

My hamstrings definitely feel overactive and tight, however they are extremely weak (struggle to leg curl 15kg without cramping) can they be overactive and weak??

[@Mereship]

I’ve always heard a tight muscle is a weak muscle, but I’m no PT

[@User-hdhgbnnsgg]

I noticed that when I do two sets of hip thrust then the third one , I can’t contract this muscle in third set and can’t feel it , is that because the hamstring is tight ?

[@stephaniewalton8061]

How do you keep your lower back from taking over during a bridge or hip thruster?

[@cynthiacroissant]

One thing I have found that helps is to pull one leg in really tightly. You can try to hold a tennis ball between your upper thigh and belly. Hold the leg in tightly so you don't drop the ball and do hip bridges on the other side. Stretching out the low back on the one side will keep it from taking over on the hip bridges at least on the at one side. It will start to strengthen the glutes.

[@Confucius202]

Which brand is that t-shirt from?

[@neilbeech4093]

I have a APT. I can't squeeze my glutes..Am I supposed to get in a posterior tilt???

[@cynthiacroissant]

I have found that it FEELS like a posterior tilt but it is actually straight.

[@profoundminds_9021]

I've just discovered function in my glutes😳
