How to WAKE UP Your Glutes (DO THIS EVERY DAY!)

  • If you want to wake up your glutes because they are weak, underdeveloped or just not looking the way you want them to, then this is the video you’re not going to want to miss. Here, I’m going to show you four glute exercises (only two of which you need to do) that can be done every day to help you build bigger, stronger glutes and that will have a byproduct of less hip and low back dysfunction.

    The key to glute exercises and their effectiveness is to be sure you’re working on the right ones. Far too often, when people try and do glute workouts they focus on exercises for glutes that are primarily using the glute max. Trust me, if you are doing squats, lunges, step ups, leg press, deadlifts, or any other sagittal plane dominant leg exercise your glute max is getting plenty of work already.
    The glute muscle that is almost always underdeveloped and weak however is the one we want to hit here. It’s called the glute medius.
    The functions of the glute max and glute medius are very different. While the maximus is an effective hip extender and slight external hip rotator, the medius has an incredibly strong capability of controlling the hip in the frontal plane through abduction and the transverse plane through hip rotation. Unless you are purposely putting exercises into your hip and glute workouts that engage the muscles through these motions you simply will not develop these muscles to their capacity.
    The result of not paying enough attention to the right muscles in the glutes goes way beyond just the aesthetic repercussions. The butt will not only look flat and potentially sagging but the internal hip stability and strength will be lacking which often times leads to injuries and weakness in the low back and hip muscles.
    So in order to get this right there are a few things we can do. The good thing is, everything I show you here can be done at any time during the day and without any equipment needed.
    The first two are performed on the floor. This is slightly inferior to the standing version but if you are a beginner it provides you with a better opportunity to engage the muscles and feel them contract. This is especially helpful for those whose glutes need to wake up having never really been stimulated through current every day activities.
    While laying on your side, point the toe on the top leg down towards the ground. Be sure to bring the leg in front of the body and keep it there the entire time. Now, lift the leg up towards the ceiling as high as you can. This is called hip abduction. Don’t worry about how many reps you can do, instead focus on getting a strong contraction in the hip and hold it for a brief second before proceeding into your next rep. Keep the quality high and stop when you cannot resist the burn any more.
    Next exercise, bring the leg behind the body and this time point the toe up towards the ceiling. Once again, lift the leg up as high as you can keeping the toe pointed up throughout. Stop when the burn is too much. You don’t need to do these any more than one set per day but make sure you stay consistent with it since this is where you’ll start to build the mind muscle connection needed to really see benefits.
    The last two exercises can be done as an alternative to the laying down versions, and these are done standing up.
    For the first one, as before, bring your leg in front of your body with the toe pointed down towards the ground. Swing the leg out to the side into hip abduction as far as you can go. Make sure to remember to drop the hip on the leg that is standing on the ground to get abduction on it as well, making this a perfect two-for-one glute exercise.
    Finally, with the leg slightly behind the body, point your toe to the sky and swing your leg up. Here, as you swing be sure to rotate your hips as shown to include closed chain hip external rotation as a component of the function of the glute medius you are trying to train.
    If you do these consistently I promise not only will you have a better, rounder looking butt and stronger glutes but your hips and low back will be healthier in the long run.

      Actually men usually get their ass beat doing these body weight exercises because they're so used to lifting weights. as for some women we're used to doing exercises like this, on the floor and lifting with lighter weights.. the guys don't realize how taxing it is on your muscles and how much it burns using your body weight while isolating and engaging your muscles. I do both and it's a totally different workout than if you were to just lift. That shit burns for anyone that does it. For some it burns quicker than others, depends on how fit you are but regardless everyone feels a good burn.

      This is a big problem. I used to have a hard time sleeping, now I go to sleep quickly, even when I don't want to (at night). The hypothesis is that the sympathetic dominant are wired to "push" through the day. This continues into the night. Toxic iron overload is associated with "wired and tired" that keeps people awake at night. Some call it "copper toxicity," but it is the same thing.
      I think it is likely that toxic iron (maybe toxic copper, too) over stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.
      The problem with sympathetic dominance is that it drains your reserves over time. The goal is to produce enough organic Mg-ATP so that your sympathetic nervous system doesn't have to activate, and to stop aggravating it with iron overload in the tissues.
      I took zinc and did other things to "detox toxic copper," but it also reduces my Mg-ATP production and put me down n a low energy state all the time. I wouldn't do it that way again.
      What would I do now? Well, it is complex, but the biggest component would The Root Cause Protocol by Morley Robbins. Search his name -- he presents fascinating information in his interviews, and cites sources.
      I would also search Rhonda Patrick, learn about broccoli sprouts, and start eating them daily. They apparently safely clean toxic iron out of the liver. This could be **huge**. Get ready for an experience, though. I'd rather take a shot of tequila than broccoli sprout juice!
      Get your stress level reduced. EFT and Donna Eden's Energy Medicine techniques may be beneficial. Move from stressful situations, if possible. Set boundaries -- people are sooooo selfish nowadays they will drain you dry and be completely oblivious to it.
      Hit me up with a reply and I will share some relevant links when I get to my computer.

    While training my glute medius unilaterally at the gym yesterday, I noticed a guy doing face pulls without engaging his supraspinatus muscle properly. This was so shocking and disgraceful to me that I went up to him and spat in his face. Long story short, we got into a fight and I ended up knocking him out with a spinning back fist (in a manner that resembles a unilateral band pull-apart with rotation of the torso). The poor guy was rushed to the hospital and I got kicked out from my gym, but I got an amazing pump in my right rotator cuff from throwing that shot, so it was all worth it. Now I just need to hit someone with my left to avoid developing muscle imbalances.
