Ooohhhhhh I needed that!! I naturally have the shape & ppl actually asked me what I do but I'm actually hyper-mobile (EDS 😭) & certain exercises just don't hit the same anymore & I automatically protect my knees (osteoarthritis due to accelerated wear & tear) & hip/SI joints (bursitis & 1 side subluxes occasionally) now, at 47, bec I'm worried about injury due to joint instability. However, I still need to strengthen whatever I can. I also need to keep moving to avoid stiffness these days & I want to tone up but need modified exercises like that first one for glutes (THANK YOU!) & thighs. I can do squats fairly well -- but is there another more protective one to help engage and tone up my hamstrings? 😅

I’m one of those people. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and I didn’t know until I was in my 40s and did a walking retreat where we hiked foothills every day for 7-10 miles. I couldn’t keep up at all!?? I was always so far behind?!! I couldn’t figure it out until one of the guides told me, “you may not be activating your glutes”. I have to consciously use my glute when I walk or hike. Incredible

The problem lies in bad posture and usage of wrong muscles. The band helps u stabilize your knees, so u dont put all the weight on them anymore. As the band holds you together u start using the right muscles.

Sensation doesn't tell you everything. Lengthened movements do not produce the same type of burn that shortened movements (like clamshells) do or other shortened movements like hip thrusts. If your form is good and youre performing the movement correctly then your glutes are working whether you feel them or not. And youll often feel them the next day. That being said, I never felt my glutes much in lengthened movements until I used a belt squat machine which gave me a ton of stability and allowed me to just sit back into a squat without having to hold any weight on my back. More stability will allow you feel your glutes more if that's what youre after

[@maximo7910]

But if I do these and then I feel the rdl on my glutes will it mean it’ll grow even more than if i didn’t feel them????(Obv by also doing died, sleep, etc part)

[@JS-mg1mk]

@@maximo7910 no, feeling doesn't determine growth. Muscle growth is caused by hypertrophy. Basically when you're doing a movement and you experience an involuntary slowing of contractions (your reps get slower). That's why pushing to or close to failure is important. Progressive overload is also important. If you're performing the movement correctly and continuing to get stronger at it then you will grow regardless of if you "feel" the muscle during the movement, assuming you're eating enough

I had a doctor tell me that activation exercises were a joke and that the movement you’re doing in the gym should be enough. All the expensive schooling just do be an idiot. Doing these activation exercises is the only reason my glutes work, bless this channel 🤘🏻 I was on my way to being paralyzed and had several episodes of not being able to walk at all so anyone who thinks these kind of movements aren’t necessary all I have to say is I’m running again with no pain, rock climb every other day with great hip movement and take care of yourselves because I’m only 26 and this can happen to anyone… it may already be happening to you as we speak, SIT UP STRAIGHT

[@yoeyyoey8937]

He’s right tho. Glute activation only works if you’re not really lifting or strength training properly in the first place. Regardless a doctor doesn’t go to school to learn any of this including lifting

[@thereviewer6517]

all the expensive schooling was to be a doctor not a physiotherapist or a gym bro...tard...

[@Dysstopolis]

​@@yoeyyoey8937 They do actually, indirectly. In the very first year of med school, during anatomy classes they learn every single muscle in the body, its name, location, function and direction of movement. Then they get to see those muscles directly on the preserved and disected cadavres. Yet later these idiots with doctor's license end up not remembering or understanding jackshit about the biomechanics of the human body. And then some massagists end up remebering more skeletal muscles anatomy then most doctors... It's a stupid world we live in.

[@yoeyyoey8937]

@@Dysstopolis yeah but knowing muscle groups doesn’t mean they know how they work together on actual movement. You’re far overestimating what gets taught in medical school. They don’t understand movement or fitness or anything, that’s not part of the education. They’re not necessarily idiots, the problem is what is in the curriculum and what the academic institutions deem a medical doctor needs to know to do his job.

[@yoeyyoey8937]

@@Dysstopolis biomechanics is not really part of any medical school course. Maybe some basics like how a muscle contracts and is attached to a bone, but we pretty much learn that in grade school, and it doesn’t apply to fitness or athleticism at all by itself. Most people, most trainers and the like, don’t even really know how a back squat works. Most people in general tell you not to “lift with you back” instead of telling people to just make their back stronger. This knowledge is basically esoteric at this point.

Instead of squats replace it with sumo squats. 45 degrees body tilt. At all time . Squats mainly for quads. Rdl in order to feel it bend knees slightly a bit. SLIGHTLY only. N push through your heels. I normally do single leg rdl to have a better focus only one glute at a time . Then I do both.

Donlowbar squat

[@TechieTard]

Everyones posture, leg size back, center of gravity is different. At the end of the day, find a foot, leg, and bar placement where you are evenly pushing off with the heel of your feet as with the ball of your feet. If you feel too much pressure on your toes, your posture and angle are wrong, you are leaning too far forward. You might have to arc your back more or literally, scoot the bar back an inch. Maybe spread your legs out more, point your toes out more. If you really want a big but, do the sumo dead lift, toes pointed outwards.

I don’t think activation is necessary in my unprofessional opinion. If your form is correct, then your glutes are being worked/used regardless if you feel it or not. Some people get caught up in chasing the burn.

[@angiesplaylist23]

It's important bc if your gluts don't take the load, other muscles will need to compensate. The biggest problem is when the lower back compensates for the gluts and takes too much load which can cause a lot of problems

[@LaiLai..]

Your glutes are used in squats and rdls. People just have bad form, hence why you mentioned lower back issues .

@LaiLai.. not at all. He's shown many people using the right form but don't feel their gluts activating while doing rdls and squats. He calls it gluteal amnesia bc it's not activating when it should

[@yoeyyoey8937]

If you’re training properly and progressively overloading with good exercise selction then your glutes are going to grow because the HAVE TO.
