I’ve been squeezing my glutes throughout the day, trying to fix my anterior pelvic tilt. Also doing floor bridges before my workout and really squeezing to get them ready before my workout. In just a few weeks I can recruit my glutes much easier. And I’m on my last week and a half with maps anabolic, feeling great!
I used to be quads dominant, probably from sitting all day for work and study, and could never feel my glutes during any exercise. After an injury due to weak glutes, I spent the better part of a year working on my mind muscle connection with my glutes, doing crab walks with a band and a few other glute activation exercises, mostly just with a band, before I went into my hip thrusts. Now I can feel my glutes when I squat when I couldn't before. What annoys me when people say "just squat" if you want to build your glutes is that that won't work for someone who isn't engaging their glutes.
I feel like i didnt feel my quads with squats until i started doing it barefoot and be very mindful of putting your weight equally on your feet. I think of it as a triangle lol

I always thought a few images of the exercises being talked about would be very useful... I see you started incorporating that on the videos. Great!
yup they really illustrate the point. love it.
Tapping into feeling your muscle as you contract it has easily brought the most gains into my client’s and myself’s physique
Appreciate the edits(showing the exercises your referencing), it helps because every trainer/coach has a different name for each exercise
Back extensions with the piece down lower to focus on the glutes really gets me warmed up and feeling it.

The TH-cam algorithm put you guys at the top a month or two ago or something.
Pre set isometrics is the answer. Do a glute bridge isometric hold before your set.
I’d love to connect to Justin’s glutes.
hip thrusts solved this problem for me.
Question! When I squat I feel it in my hips and hams. I’m more hamstring dominate anyways, how can I feel squats in quads and improve my quads overall
Incorporate priming movements that focus on the quads. I like doing hip hinges on your knees or a tension squat

Maybe try cyclists squat ? Great for squat
I know got to take shit
