Do you feel like you’ve run out of options to train those oh so important glutes?
I mean, how many side band walks…clams…and hip thrusts can one person possibly do?
If you feel like those glute gains have come to a halt, check out today’s coaching because I’m going to show you a simple exercise you can do at home that’s going to blow up your glutes like you won’t believe.
HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR GLUTES
Your glutes are made up of a ton of different muscles not only on the surface level, but all the way down to the hip joint. In order to continue maximizing gains, it’s crucial for you to attack different lines of tissue by changing the angle from where we’re creating tension.
What does this mean exactly?
We’ll be placing your body in new positions so you can attack tissue that hasn’t been stressed yet. This is the key to breaking through those pesky plateaus and seriously is the secret weapon not many know about so I’m really excited to share this with you today.
It’s an exercise from my Kinstretch Online program and fair warning, it may look simple, but…uh uh.
Once you try it, you’ll feel some tissue in your hip and butt that you’ve never felt before.
A QUICK TIP ABOUT YOUR FORM
I’ll coach you up on this in the video above but I want you to understand that the key to getting max results with this exercise is to not let your body or pelvis roll away from the leg that is lifting.
If you let your body move too much, the tension will go away from where you’re trying to build strength and you defeat the purpose of this exercise. So keep it honest and imagine you have a glass of water on your lower back, and don’t spill it!
Ok, you ready to get those buns of steel? Let’s do this!
HOW TO PROGRESS
Once you feel like you’ve got this move down and you need a little more sauce on it, just add a 2 or 3 lb ankle weight and keep the gains a coming!
TIGHT GLUTES?
If your glutes always feel tight, no amount of stretching is going to make long lasting change. The issue oftentimes comes from your hip joint.
