5 Red Flags for Weak Glutes (FIX THIS!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2024
- Weak glutes are one of the most common muscle weaknesses exhibited. The irony is, the muscles of the hips and glutes are designed to be the strongest in the entire body. Given their location around the pelvis and their influence on the center of mass and spine, they are designed to be incredibly strong and capable of providing stability in all three planes of motion. As you’ll see in this video however, many of us are walking around with very weak glutes and I’m going to show you how to figure this out quickly.

There are five tests that you can easily perform to determine the status of your glutes. The first is the simple quadruped kneeling leg extension test. Here you want to get on all fours and straighten one leg out behind you. Make sure the knee is straight and that your hips are squared up to the ground. From here, attempt to squeeze your glutes on one side and lift that leg up towards the ceiling. Do you feel an intense contraction in the glute muscles?
If so, that would be a good sign that you have the ability to activate your glutes. That is not enough however. From here, you now need to bend the knee to further shorten the hamstring and put more of the emphasis on the gluteal muscles to perform the same activity of lifting the leg towards the ceiling. Squeeze again and see if you are able to reproduce the same discomfort. If not, that is your first red flag. Be sure to test on both sides as imbalances are common between the right and left legs.
Next you want to perform the bridge test. Lay on your back and press your heels into the ground with a bent knee position. Lift your hips as high as you can. If you already start to feel some cramping in your hamstrings on either side this would be an early red flag that you are dealing with weak glutes. If not, then proceed to lift one leg in the air and see if you can hold your trunk and pelvis up throughout the test without sagging. Once again, if you feel cramping here or if the pelvis is unable to be kept lifted then you will need to address the weakness in your glutes.
The third test is the lunge test. Here you want to see what the strength of your glute medius is in the frontal plane. Take whatever weight you would normally use for a set of 12 to 15 reps of dumbbell lunges and then combine that weight into one hand. So if you used 25lbs for example in each hand, you would hold a single 50 pound dumbbell in one hand for this test. Lunge out with the leg that is opposite the hand holding the dumbbell and try and maintain an upright torso without fallling towards or leaning to the weighted side. If you can’t, then you have a major red flag for glute medius weakness.
The fourth test is actually more of a detection of a symptom. Do you have low back pain that is pin point located just to the right of the bony prominence on your pelvis called the PSIS. If so, this could be coming once again from weakness of the glute medius muscle. I did an entire video on this topic that you are going to want to see as it shows you how to fix this problem instantly by using a myofascial technique.
Low Back Pain Fix -
• How to Fix “Low Back” ...
Finally, the complicated and difficult dragon flag ab exercise is actually much more easily performed if you allow the glutes to do their part. I show you how the lack of glute activation is a tell tale sign in the poor performance of the exercise and if you can’t activate them to improve the way you do this movement then you definitely should be alerted to the red flag pointing to the weakness.
As you can see, the glutes are a major and important muscle group in the body that cannot be overlooked regardless of whether you are a high performing athlete or an average joe dealing with the repercussions of having weakness in this area. If you are looking for a complete program that overlooks nothing when it comes to training every muscle in the body, be sure to head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Thanks! Very interesting!
I've already watched the 5 ab red flags video. At this point, I'm certain my whole body is a red flag.
Me too but I'm trying to get it together. Summers around the corner
I'm in your camp Ayesha. I've asked Jeff to do more video's for the "wanna-be's". The internet has a wide audience. Please do a few for the "lost & confused".

This man is a true hero. I just went to his website to look what programmes he offers so that I can improve my training. I filled out his questionaire and when the result came I was blown away. The suggestion was to watch the youtube videos so I can learn enough before I purchase one of his programmes. I was ready to buy but he said "No, You can get all you need right now for free." This man truely wants people to get healthy and fit for their own good and not for his. I already believed his videos more than most other channels because he obviously has the medical knowledge about the body to back up everything he says, but the fact that he tells potential customers that they can get the knowledge that they need for free instead of taking their money makes me respect him 1000% more. This motivated me even more to train harder and smarter out of respect for the work and authenticity he puts in his videos. You will probably never see this comment under the 1300 others, but please know that you already helped me out a lot with these videos and I will continue to train, even harder now because of your honesty and your integrity.
That's true indeed!
He is an awesome man....
Well said, couldn't agree more.
Jeff is a true hero!

You're forgettting the one and only Dom Mazetti
Thor Odinson no they really don't. A steroid user doesn't have an idea on limits of a natural. So for them to give advice on and be detailed they really don't offer much. They can give generic advice but not specific to the individual. But as to this video I doubt a steroid user would be able to explain on the level of Jeff. Not many professionals in general can that's why Jeff is next level compared to everyone else.
Thor Odinson roid users only have valid advice for those who are also on roids. The worst thing is when naturals take lifting advice from roid users
you didnt read his comment or you are deliberately missing what he said. "People who claim natty"... I dont care if someone is on roids, but when you say that you arent and sell some bullshit training program (made for people who juice). Thats the problem
this man is a gift. he found his life's work, and carries it out with stellar excellence.
I watch these vids knowing damn well my whole body is weak
I know my Glutes are weak and that I am correcting them...but watch the video anyway.
@@hippo6billion811 fuck yes rodeo
I watched this video 3 months ago. I was weak and fat. Now I'm toned, strong, ok, maybe with ass issues. But I'm at least better than before
@@minnie5873 just wsit until it's another year, you won't believe the difference
Workout then . You have to. You can do it
I just want to say thank you. I'm not a bro, I'm a woman. I was paralyzed from the waist down 7 years ago and had virtually all of my muscle from t10 down to my toes atrophy. I've had to rebuild from nothing. I'm walking unassisted but still have a tremendous amount to rebuild. A lot of lower body exercises I cannot do due to the extensive atrophy, neuropathy and balance issues. Even my dead leg is coming back to life and I'm putting mass on. I cannot thank you enough for sharing with all of us your knowledge and being so gracious to put so much helpful content for free. It brings tears to my eyes to see my skin filling back out, to see muscles growing bigger, to walk a little less like a duck and more like a human being. One day I will walk on stage and win and I have you to thank Sir. I tell everyone about your channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You are truly a special person and I am immensely grateful to have come across your channel. Your generosity is enabling me to regain my life back. Okay now I need to go blow my nose. Got snot running down my face. Lol
TheTorrid1 Wow I can never complain about my back pain. God is so good, your testimony is very inspiring to never give up.

Congrats for every teeny weeny bit of progress! Keep pushing! 💪
the human body's ability to heal is truly amazing. much respect to you and your journey! 💜
Start ingesting a lot of Lion's Mane mushroom, fresh, powdered, extract whatever. Many studies done that confirm they promote nerve regeneration. In rats, many of the ones that are "irreversibly" crushed were able to regain mobility, defying what Western science has previous thought possible.

This is quite literally the best channel on youtube. I've been struggling with lower back pain for almost 4 years now and no one has been as effective as you, Jeff, in explaining what the true issue is and what steps I can take to fix it. I feel relief as soon as I do any one of your recommended exercises. You really do put a significant amount of thought into every exercise you teach and have such a great understanding of physical therapy, and I love how you emphasize the quality of a rep over the number of reps. You put out quality content in each video and don't hold anything back, so it's easy to tell that you really do want to help people. It's hard to find authenticity like this on the internet, you teach from the heart. Thank you and congratulations to you for your hard work and creating something that's truly beneficial for others. Your channel is an amazing piece of work. You should definitely get an award for this gift that you've given to people.

@@pygmalioninvenus6057 Dude shut the fuck up and put respect on him.
I have knocked knees, bad glutes, tight hips - the whole lower body ordeal and I'm only 19. I've had way too much damn inactivity growing up just playing video games and sitting/lying with poor posture. Without Jeff's videos I could probably never go more than a month of training without injuring myself and quitting due to clueless frustration. The knowledge Jeff provides is so empowering to me when I'm training. I really do feel like I'm training with a purpose. My goal right now is to fix all of these postural issues to build the foundation on which I want to build my strength and a great physique. Thanks Jeff and thank you Jesse for setting an example through your transformation as a fellow "hardgainer".
Glad I am not the only one with this backstory and the resulting problems. With Jeff we'll get our dream physique, without injuries.
Damn im in the same exact spot. We'll fix our issues with enough dedication 👍
lol then unsubscribe from here and go to functionalpatterns.com
Definitely don't try "functional patterns" instead of listening to Jeff. Jeff is a certified personal trainer and physical therapist, the other guy studied sociology and claims muscle building makes you dumb.
+rudiger007 are u stupid? jeff shows 0 results with knocked knees. for fp it is piece of cake. jeff only know how to get big biceps lol. fucking roider full of shit
Jeff is a genius and everyone must listen to his coaching. Weak glutes were exactly why I had lower back pain for so many years. It’s fixed now after several months of proper exercises.
you are truly youtube's physical therapist. love you man, and I recommend all the young teens, athlete's and artists to subscribe to you. all of you're work is wonderful and I am truly grateful for your contribution
This video literally changed my life, been working on this for almost two weeks three times a week. Honestly changed my life, had to put in the work tho it was not easy. My run time has dropped dramatically, found out i was running wrong my entire life. My knee pain isnt nearly as bad, still needs some work, my shoulder feels stronger. I can feel muscles in my arms and the middle of my back starting to work helping my kyphosis. Working on this has changed my entire posture, unreal. Jeff you are the man. A million likes
What exercises have you been doing?
Everything you see in this video i do each three times a week. Leaving a day in between for rest even if you dont think you need it. It might not seem hard but just do it until you find quality reps and stuff stops popping. Hip bridges used to make my right knee pop and my lower back would hurt in full extension because of my rampant knee valgus (another video) and obviously weak glutes. I just focused on finding that proper contraction, Jeff knows his stuff im telling you. Follow what he says and change will come. Improved my quality of life ten fold
@@nethandelwampa116 good for you man, thanks.
i reckon even stretching is important also, its just that nobody does this so it seems very uncomfortable doing this in the gym alone or in aerobics studio, but i guess i need to just do it and forget what people might think. When I did taekwondo and trained at virgin active gym 17-18 years ago, i did see guys stretching and not just woman. This gym i go to now is more basic and the community is different, not like it was . I so lanky and i just want to get fitter and gain strength and mass.
Aaron Booker that’s awesome, I’m looking for a routine for my husband. He was a skater boy so he has huge thighs but I believe they are doing the work for his glutes. I was hoping to find a comment from someone who has been doing this routine. Thanks for sharing your progress with us. I hope you have had continued success with your gains and pain reduction.
Jeff, you have inspired me to promote a more healthy lifestyle and were part of me losing 55 pounds while gaining muscle. You are a captivating individual!
Well done mate 🙌
Good job brother
I want to thank you Jeff for what you have done to help me. I am 66 ,active all my life. last year I joined the gym that has all the equipment but no instruction. I worked on the weight machines all year because I did not want to get hurt not knowing what I was doing. This year Im doing the towers with pullys and squats and lunges And working with bumbbells. You are showing me the correct way to accomplish my goals thru your easy to understand videos. Within 2 weeks I feel so much stronger and study with ATHLEAN-X every morning before starting my workouts.I feel like I have my own personal trainer. Thank You, Ed

Love that you're doing this topic! Biggest muscle and yet often neglected outside of the large compounds.
@@JoeyCentral hehe. They don want money, they want confidence, and when there are 2 guys with confidence, the guy with money wins. You can have money, but if you re needy and shy, you won t be taken, much rather they ll take an uglier and poorer guy who is confident in himself or even cocky.
i used to work at a bar and our food would come from downstairs and only 1 elevator. so basically im in the elevator with the people going up tot the bar holding a bunch of food and i can't stop people from touching me lol Im in good shape and i was especially lean during my time there since im on my feet for like 12 + hours. I'll tell you 8/10 times that i had women touching up on me was my ass lol women like a nice butt on a guy. rest of the time was either my chest or if they were feelin reaaaaalllyyyy frisky just straight up grab my junk x) good times.. good times.

Quads are thensteongest muschle group
If you think girls don't like glutes you are either mentally challenged or completely uneducated on such matters.
The amazing thing is Jeff made this channel for the bros I think but his advice is invaluable for both men and women. I’m aware there is an athleanX channel for women but I don’t see why I should box myself into training “like a woman “. Quite frankly that channel is useless to me because female fitness gurus are a a dozen here. There is no one else doing what Jeff does. Following Jeff has done wonders for my posture, gains, and understanding the science behind lifting.
Good attitude
Underrated comment! I think exactly the same!
Yes. The “ woman” version is lame-0 . There’s only one Jeff cavalier athlete x dot com
Pam’s it’s not called that lol
true he seems to have authority both in training for looking good and maintaining physiological health...
I was looking to help a friend out and ran across this video. Wow! Not only is it going to help her out but I found the source of all my pain and problems. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to watch all your videos. Finally someone who’s found the root of all problems with myself and friend.
Now we need the follow up to the video where we can increase our mind-muscle connection with our glutes (like his video a few days ago with the biceps mind-muscle connection).
8:55 Sounds like he's calling from Space
Jeff you are saving people from a life of pain I appreciate you. I'm 18 and already feel so much pain in my knees and back. I've always told myself I'd rather run and not go to the gym but I need to get in there and fix this.
The cool thing about Jeff's videos are that they are super motivational to people who already have great health and to ones who want to get there. I have made it a mission to watch at least one video every day to learn how I can better myself and help others like he is doing. Thanks Jeff 🙏
I have been getting bad back pain from weak glutes. Just what I needed. thanks Jeff
Great video thank you! I had lower back problems for almost a year in the exact position you showed and after doing a lot of research I have been thinking about my weak gluteus; I started to do squat with width stance and in full depth (instead like before at the parallel) to activate the gluteus more and the back pain decreased significantly for the first time. Now watching this video you confirmed me that! Thanks
You are helping numerous people around the world Sir. Please keep sharing your valuable knowledge. We are watching you.
This channel is helping me fix so many low back issues! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I was going to physical therapy and oddly enough, I have experienced more relief including your practices for my problems. I appreciate the way you teach your audience to train.
Thanks Jeff for this video I appreciate all your effort I do have these issues and I'm working on them as of today.
I want a life where you are my personal trainer😢
Well ... who would not
Go to ATHLEAN X DOT COM
Not in algeria lol
haha my thoughts too
God please !!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jeff you keep finding things about me I didn’t know I have problems with! I’m a rabbit hole of red flags and yet your videos offer solutions for free! Thank you for all your hard work! I will continue to improve myself!
Over the years this guy's videos have been incredibly helpful in understanding excercise and anatomy, thanks so much!
"We're gonna get a lil' bit naughty here" looooooool
*Where the hell is the ATHLEAN-X podcast?*
Prissy Nerd If Jeff did do it, it probably wouldnt try to deliver information the same way he does here. Itd just be cool to hear unedited conversations and Jeffs thoughts on whatever they discuss like with JRE.
i feel like jeff doesn't have time for that. also, as someone mentioned visual aids are key to a lot of what he's saying, however, he could cover different topics on the podcast that don't require that.
I’d subscribe! Jeff is an incredible fountain of knowledge.
Yes it would be a good idea. Like others have said not for demonstrating excercises but having a more in depth discussion of nutrition, training frequency and volume, programming, supplements and many other things that Jeff could talk about at length.
Hopefully we'll hear Jeff on 'in my opinion of course'. He's highly requested.
You’re such a great information source for pt students! Keep it up, greetings from The Netherlands!
WOW! I've been having lower back pain for the past two weeks. I did watch the other video and got some relief but this one has allowed me to truly identify that my issue with with my glutes and there's an imbalance. I do have all five red flags, but when I did the bridge my left hamstring cramped up immediately and I could hardly lift my right leg off the floor!! Now I know what I need to fix. Thanks heaps Jeff!!
weak glutes = poor knees!
Yesssss...And knock knees = weak glutes which starts with tight hip flexors 😖😖
Mind = blown! Thanks!

I couldn't figure out why I couldn't do certain exercises...why my form was off or the area I was targeting wouldn't be feeling the burn and that's how I found out abt tight hip flexors. U gotta read about it...I'm so glad I did!!!😉😉

I've been following Jeff for years. He is the guru. Amazing amount of knowledge stored in his head. Thanks Jeff.
Jeff is awesome, followed his exercises and after 6 months I became a massive powerful machine and nice definition not just pumped up muscles!! Love the short tracks he explains, perfect!

You may have done the scorpion on accident.
Really interesting topic, could certainly explain why so many people get hurt doing squats
SO appreciative for your fantastic videos and evidence-based approach to training so effectively. I'm a personal trainer, yoga teacher and sports nutritionist (R.D.) and see so many people outright wasting their time "training" in gyms. I'm so grateful for your comprehensive approach to common trouble spots (e.g., glute medius weakness, hip and shoulder issues, etc). Love your explanations about anatomical involvement, causes and most importantly, specific strength and flexibility training, including do's and don't to address root causes of issues. Your experience as a physical therapist distinguishes your approach and is something I especially appreciate. So grateful for your work and for all the lives that are so meaningfully impacted by your dedication. Awesome work, THANK YOU and please keep it coming!!!
I really like all of your videos since I discovered it 3,4 months ago. I make sure myself watch 2 to 3 videos a day and my skills and knowledge are already in the next level. Thank you very much for all these hard work and the good will to share them with us.
I had low back but after watching your vid with in to weeks of doing what you showed me it went away thanks so much
You have the best videos, Jeff!
This is one of the most best things I’ve seen … really targets ONE of my biggest problems. Thank you for helping me find a resource to improve.
Very helpful to know that the weak gluteal muscles can be the major factor in reoccurring tight and tender lower back, hamstrings, and the IT Band spreading to the knee. Jeff, it will be helpful if you could do a short video on how one week muscle can become a chronic issue overtime. I saw your two videos on IT band and now i understand how it is all connected. Thank you.
Jeff will you be making apps for other body parts like you did with 6 pack promise, because it has been a lifesaver for me and i wish there were more apps like that. Great video as always you're the best!
I've been having lower back pain for a month now exactly where Jeff was talking about in test 4. My jaw literally dropped when he pointed to my affected area because i looked at other videos but it just didn't seem right on what my problem was until now. My highest squat PR when my back was fine was 155 for 5X5 (I'm 15 btw) and my deadlift being 195 for 4X5 but deadlifts always made my back uncomfortable. So far in this month of pain and annoyance I've been getting really frustrated watching my legs get weaker and weaker. Today I went to the gym trying to attempt to lift light weights for the squat and deadlift leading to deadlifts and barbell rows in my regular program being the ones that inflamed my lower back once more like usual this month (squats felt fine thank god). As I was getting super mad i decided I had to approach this way more seriously and stop giving it "time to heal" because at this point i knew resting wont solve anything. That's when I stumbled on this video that blew me away. I never knew my glutes were so damn weak it literally suprised me so much. I'm gonna focus on strengthening my glutes so I can hopefully squat and deadlift big weights again later on. You're a hero Jeff, thank you.
The best personal trainer mankind can get.very technical explanation and easy to understand 🙌💪🙏
This has helped me a lot, I’ve been testing my glutes strength and I’ve been putting a lot of work into it and I’ve seen so many changes and good results. You’re truly the best ever !!!!! 🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Can you PLEASE make a video about your weekly groceries. Cuz in your programs I have to look at meals ahead to know what to buy next...if u do it then it would be super helpful for me THANKS :)
this guy just told me my weak ness that i was not able to know from last 6 months.....you are really a mentor...you are 'DRONACHARYA' who dont ask for the thum from the "Eklaviye"....
Jeffs videos are so addictive, can't stop watching them!!
I'm a long haul truck driver. I've been haunted with lower back pain for a VERY long time now. I've started watching your videos, and finally applying the exercises you have presented, that I can now say, directly affect the pain in my lower back. Now that I've started being conscious of my glutes, and exercising them everyday. I'm starting to notice the common sense, and the relief. I'm going to continue these simple exercises everyday. And I'm really excited to hopefully, and finally get some back pain relief after so many years of dealing with it, and not really understanding why I was hurting so much... its all coming to the surface now, and I thank you sir... who would have thought, proper glute and and back exercises would take you pain away?
I love this man so much. He is a true hero
Ive been having lover back pain for awhile now and having pain in my sciatica and i have strong abs but no glutes. And ive gone to the doctor a few times and they say they dont see anything but i have my answer. I need a good trainer like you to get me back on track. I work at the hospital around patient's and need to stay in shape.
Jeff you just saved me from getting another injury at the gym before I go back in the next day or two. ❌❌❌Keep up with the great work People need you.Great job!!Thanks. Iam at the gym working out for 1,5 got injured. Why because I knew nothing of my own body. People should have tests applied before they start lifting and told you are not allowed certain thing because you have a weak back or weak glutes
This guy is a godsend. Just worked my way through this video, the one about hip flexor stretching vs. strengthening and the low-back pain video he mentions in this video. I have had low back and left hip pain for years and I am now coming to the conclusion that it is not tight or weak hip flexors, its just weak glutes.
" Wake up you lazzy ass, literally ", just great. Overall great video, excellent execution. Subscribed.
Great video. Years ago, I messed up both my Achilles tendons. I've also had chronic lower back issues my entire life, regardless of deadlifting capability. Two PTs both told me the surprising culprit: my glutes were weak and under-developed versus my quads, hamstrings and calves. Truly bizarre how so many muscles, ligaments and tendons work in conjunction with others that you might not think are related.
Your comment is like a revelation to me!! I've been having a lot of problems with my Achilles tendons, not being able of getting rid of inflammation. It all started with rock climbing on very steep terrain, that is overhanging walls, where you need strong hamstrings and glutes. I thought it was my shoes but the problem kept recurring and I couldn't run either. On the back of my head I kept wondering if it was a weak posterior chain, considering that I also have shoulder problems, and that I was sort of compensating for my weak glutes using my calves and mostly achilles tendons. I never dared to ask my physio cause I didn't want to sound like those who think they know better than the experts. But now you tell this. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy I watched this video, immediately after the first test I was able to diagnost I have really weak glutes. And I also get that pain in the pin point spots in the back too
I have come across your videos and not only repeatedly watched but taken heed, applied to my training (3rd week in to a new gym membership) and before I couldn't execute a proper sit up without slamming back down or lift my lower legs. This was disheartening alot. However I can now do the leg raises, lower ab training and lay back down in segments in the upper ab work out, so I'd like to say thank you 🤗😊
Who the hell down voted this video? How could this not be helpful to you? This is great information!
They were probably expecting muscle markers for Jeff's ass.
some one who has weak glutes from doing time in prison
Down vote. What are you a Reddit user? 😂😂
Dem lazy asses
Probably bro science fans.
I remember doing the Dragonfly just out of pure boredom when I was younger... To stretch or idk. Man it's strange seeing it be an actual exercise...
I've watched a lot of your videos but for me this is just brilliant, thanks mate!
Keep up the great work. Your help is appreciated by many.
Had both hips replaced. Thank you for good ass exercise!

I’ve been training for a while and now switched to sprinting and I can deadlift 270kg and squat 220kg and I knew I had weak glutes because my hamstrings always take over and I can’t feel my glutes when I have to. This showed me how weak it is. Now I have to fix it
Wow, how were you lifting that much with weak glutes? Did you fix it?
So your saying do Pilates then? I went and there were old ladies outperforming me on every exercise.
Just started Pilates myself after hip arthroscopy. Ditto. Old dolls with way more core strength than me. Humbling and inspiring.
If you want to continue the humiliation/inspiration, sign up for a road race. You'll get your doors blown off by very pleasant looking older people who cruise past you in the final few kms. I hope to be one!
Or start a beginners class ..heck try the beginner vids here on TH-cam. The advanced classes are a little intimidating but start at beginner and u will love it!
Pilates is amazing at how well and quick it works.
Brilliant, and quickly to the point.
Love your videos. You're a great presenter and teacher!
Old video but current info. I’m sold! I’m joining!!
Jeff: "I'm gonna get a little bit naughty here"
This is so important, I know my glutes are so weak.
OMG I love this guy! Thankyou for sharing your passion and knowledge with us! you put me out of pain!
I thought I knew everything about working out and bodybuilding until I started getting older and getting injured a lot more just going to the gym. Started watching Jeff’s videos and applying what I’ve learned and realized I knew hardly nothing about working out. He is truly a genius in his field and it’s incredible he gives this knowledge away freely on TH-cam. I plan to eventually watch every video he has on TH-cam. My low back already feels a lot better from one of his exercises he’s shown in another video.
OK OK OK!! sore in 6 GLUTES anyone. Secondly a video on the back muscles same type would be nice because I have and own allot of ax programs but even then back is still lagging and trying to get that mind muscle conenction
I have been following you since Feb. 4 months later 35 pounds gone and much stronger at 66 and never needing any Meds your a 2 thumbs up thanks
Rewatching after a while. Always helpful. 🙏🏽😉
7:10 "Gonna get a little bit naughty here" 😂😂😂
Ikr...lol
I cant find my bone 😐
lol
Ooooohhhh naughty...heheh low key porn
Jeff turns me on... just kidding
Have found glute activation very hard since my hip replacements. So frustrating!
A Good thing I watch this before I start back exercises , I want to get back in line but not with hospital bills , thanks for the information
As a bodyworker, this information here is excellent. Tight hip flexor and weak gluts are combination, which is sooo common in numerous dysfunctions of lower body.
most women want their soul mate . i just want a lifelong personal trainer.lol
Can that personal trainer have relationships with others?
😂😂😂😭😭same
When is the glute muscle marker video coming up??
This video has changed my life, no joke, like you were speaking to me personally, thank you
This is just great, i'm really missing a lot in terms of realizing my supposed to be physical abilities... Ill keep watching your videos Jeff and try them all out. Thank you so much!
It would be awesome if you could do a video addressing sacroiliitis 😊
Always going to benefit from glute med, min and max exercises in addition to transversus abdominis work for sacroiliac dysfunction :)
The many ppl (myself included) in under served communities appreciate your work on this channel🙏🏽 allowing a space where a person can learn how to workout and eat healthy for free is needed 💕.
thanks to you I no longer feel pain in my lower back, my job requires me to stand for long time, this is life saving!
Jeff, absolutely genius, man. Keep ‘em coming!
That's why we all need to include hip thrusts in our workout, they are the best glute exercise hands down
