This is a challenging movement, that is very easy to ‘cheat’ and shift the bias to the lower back or hamstrings. Slow things down, & follow the cues given below and you’ll see GREAT strides in your glute development.
-
You’ll see that the pad is set to her upper thigh & not all the way to my hip. By doing so, we allow the pelvis to ‘rotate’ & create greater emphasis on the glutes. I’m initiating by keeping my spine/neck neutral, bracing my core, driving my quads into the pad, & thinking I want to get the ‘top’ of my glutes to the back of my knees. Stopping whenever I reach peak contraction of my glutes.
-
This is such an easy movement to lose concentration & just let the lower back/momentum take over. Fight through the fatigue & the challenging of getting your glutes fully shortened.
-
If this is not a movement that you are currently incorporating. I recommend starting with 3 sets of 6-8 repetitions, focusing heavily on execution. Your bodyweight will be sufficient resistance when starting to utilize this movement.
