How To Frog Pump

[@claudiepetrova4839]

One of the best things in 2021: Bret picked up his YT channel ❤😍

[@jasonmculver]

bret, my wife went from having no butt at all, to having a lovely one, thanks to you. we think your content is some of very the best mix of science and silly (i mean that not as a dismissal, but as a huge compliment in terms of you being as good natured as you are informed) that anyone would be incredibly fortunate to encounter. as a side note, she hasn't liked frog pumps because they hurt her feet, but after this video she's doing them (right now) maniacally. thank you so much for helping people everywhere. you're fantastic, keep on keeping on :)

[@bretcontreras1]

Tell her to place her feet on a balance pad...works like a charm. Thank you!

[@jasonmculver]

I LOVE FROF PUMP !

[@mervemetin4621]

I never got into frog pumps because.. idk didn't seem necessary. But if Bret says I should try them, I WILL TRY THEM. I actually tried some bodyweight ones just now (already had a lower body day). And yes. I am one of the lucky people that it works for. Like, it WORKS, as in oww my bum-bum.

[@fuzakali9083]

I started doing glute exercises about 20 years ago due to a chronic hip injury. It was either getting my glutes as strong as possible or go into surgery. By now they are pretty massive and I´ve incorporated the Frog Pump into my routine. They have proven to be the best exercise for rehabilitating my hip!

As a guy I really appreciate this man for my glutes.

[@sarahmccall5208]

I'm a bikini competitor, and my coach has me doing these 3 times a week. We play around and do low reps/high weight as well as low rest, sets of 100 with bodyweight. These burn and have been a game changer for my physique.

[@hpn1427]

This partner frog pumps are amazing! Thank you Bret, I frog pumped my girlfriend for 45 minutes straight, the glute activation was amazing, we were both exhausted afterwards

This is exactly what I've been looking for. A single move that will target my glute max, medius, and minimus. My issue is a weak glute medius and minimus. Now i've been doing weighted from pumps with my barbell at home

[@erikamarkoch6763]

I really love when you dive deep into the science.

[@sumoneiskool]

DR. Contreras, I’m doing beginner work out from you book and my body is sore and my butt on fire with body weight stuff sweaty also! Love it! I’m so excited at how far I get

[@iluvanimals4evr]

I love frog pumps! Thank you for inventing them! They are genius! I also love hip thrusts, as well, and glute bridges for the upper glutes. Any exercise you recommend for the upper glutes? I feel that’s a more difficult area to develop. Most helpful glute building videos out there by far!

[@bretcontreras1]

Do frontal plane hip abduction movements

[@sahtification]

I have the impression that frog pump help me with indoor cycling and I included it as one warm up exercise

[@Vibrosis8703]

The frog pump is by far my favorite glute exercise especially the loaded version they light up my glutes like crazy and for me they are awesome for not getting the hammies involved which happens alot for me with other bridge variations. Great video!

[@lesnowden]

Frog pumps are my favorite and I've found to be one of the most effective for under booty gains.

[@loonapoona731]

I did them yesterday on a smith machine, was sweating like crazy, making weird noises, guys all around, probably thinking wth is she doing?! But I didn’t care. The burn was good, and the pump in the end 🔥 best exercise!

[@Foreign_Pilgrim]

Absolutely... Possibly the best videos on KZbin about Exercising

[@NormanKonstantin]

We live in a world where aspiring trainers are bashing exercises without trying them and saying they are just outright "dangerous and causes injury" to everybody. I didnt feel frog pump for quite some time, but some do. I wish new upcoming trainers without any experience training clients would stop this hate and would be more open minded to the nuances of training. Great video as always.

[@AmandaBuchanan-jg6kw]

Really felt these. Awesome thanks 😊

[@ajamarie1991]

One of my favorites because of you…4-5 years ago! Made a huge difference in my routine:) happy pumping!

“Check out these grilled frog legs. Look at the glutes on these frogs.” 😂 I guess I have a new body goal? LOVE frog pumps & love how thorough this video is, like your others.

[@ashleekindhart]

I never felt anything from frog pumps but after watching, I think my legs/knees were out too wide and I wasn't doing near enough. Going to try them again today :) thanks Bret!

[@derfalsche46]

The back pain I am experiencing is actually insane, can´t sit, work, think or concentrate for more than 2 years now. I am having some pain since I am a child, but it just kept getting worse the older I got, surgeries, physical therapists, doctors I can´t even count it out anymore my story is horrible, but no one really could help, I eventually just stopped relying on others and read more and more about back pain. I definitely felt a lack of glute activation in my case. So for a year I have beeen following you now, doing a ton of glute exercises, lunges like every day, hip thrusts, hip abductions and so many more gluteus medius exercises. Weirdly sometimes my pain got better but often also worse, even with the barbell hip thrusts I just wasn´t able to properly squeeze my butt. Now I have been noticing that I have big issues with activating the inner part of my glutes and stabilizing my lumbar spine kind of (don´t know how to specify that). Specifically targeting the inner glutes seem to be the key thing for me! Frog pump do that for me but also some other exercises. With the frog pumps the inner part of my glutes seem to have tension from the beginning which is awesome and helps me a lot. Definitely team love frog pumps! I am actually very much able to abduct my hips, I always could, so my anatomy definitely seems to play a big role here. why I have pain in the first place. Very grateful to have found this exercise, hopefully my back is able to recover completely and I can finally workout again. Just wanted to leave you a big thank you for putting out your knowledge online, so people can educate themselves.

[@yrleventhal]

Tried them. Love them. My PT prescribed these last year BUTT it was too soon after total hip replacement. And Started loading!!

[@messengerofparty]

You should publish that article! Very awesome information. I work in physical therapy and love doing the frog pumps for glute strengthening.

[@aprilallen3772]

Love you!!

[@denisebarry5757]

Absolutely love the frog pump. Bret had them in my workout and the glute pump i get is unreal. I use 90lbd db n rep out to 80 reps...its literally the bomb. In fact im doing them shortly in my workout at the gym. Thanks Bret you rock

Love the Frog Pump. It totally activates my glutes. Thanks for talking about the variations and the hint for loading the dumbbell on to the hips. Never tried the Banded wide stance. I will be now. 🤘🏋️‍♂️

I don’t ever comment on KZbin but I have to tell you that your channel is AMAZING! Especially in a world of “influencers” your channel is educational witty and unmatched. Thank you for teaching us what you know based on science research and experience when you could have kept these as secrets to yourself and made us pay to get all this. I found you 2 years ago from the Crissy Cela video she did with you and now you are the only one I watch

[@mariaflesher1961]

Love your glute advise, now I came across your frog pumps. Short story after suffering a bad head injury I was told by my surgeon I should not do any weight pumps or leg or Amy kind of glut work out push or lift for at least a year. I looked in the mirror and I was agast had to wake my gluts. After 2 year of mummified looking ass. Before I saw your famous frog pumps. I decided to follow your lessons The Venus fly trap I started with a ball and one dumb bell and a mat, a step up. Now I have a Venus fly trap and studied the way it closes and shuts closing and imprisoning it victims as close and tight as possible for lo g periods.. so got an idea thus I began to mimick the plant . So experimented with thrusts up opening at mid thrust and holding position mean while squeezing my glutes and holding stance for a few seconds. Then as I lowered my hips I closed my legs with feet pointing in ward. I could feel the outside of my glutes contract The then 2nd I would turn my toes out but kept my heels touching as I thrust up now this time I felt the contract at inner part lower part of glut. Wow.. I experimented with sets 3 x25 to begin with and no belt. Next day my ass was sore but it was great.now I'm a 60 year old grandmother and you being a professional, you know that it takes Double effort ( it depends how mummified and sagging our asses become. I fatigue alot due to hypo thyroid. But let me tell you , your classes have helped me to understand the anatomy of my ass I have seen a growth and my asx no longer looks flat or deflated. Thank you so much in explaining the difference in the hips bones and how and what works differently between women the male hip bone. Your glut work outs lesson have made a loyal fan of yours Thank you sir Venus fly trap

New to Bret Contreras' content and implementing these exercises.

I love how creative and at the same time scientific your approach is. Your contents are always very helpful and instructive. Thank you so much for all of it

[@Alice-lai]

Thanks for these tips! I thought I was one of these people who can only feel them in my adductors! I have really flexible hips and turns out it’s because I do these with my knees so spreaded out close to the floor and that is why I don’t feel them as much on my glutes. I can feel them now after adjusting the degree I open my hips for these! Also I only start to feel the pump after doing 30+ reps which is another one of my mistakes doing about 12-15 reps previously! The only issue I have now is find a way to balance my weight on both my left and right glutes as I feel more on my right than my left, same with the 45 degrees rounded back hypers . .

[@SR-rz9uj]

These have been really fantastic. I’m in PT for posterior and lateral pelvic tilt, as well as flat spine base with early arthritis. The frog pump is a challenge in my glutes without the pain in my hips/pelvis. Squats, hydrants, and just standing causes pain but this is a mix of relieving stretching and working my buns (which are badly needed to be built up!). So thank you Dr. Contreras!!!
