How to Activate those Glutes

[drtbear1967]

Still doing insta-model glute kick-backs? We have much better options than this for glute development and activation! Most people will also move excessively through the low back during the kick-backs as well adding spine stress if you have sensitivity. It’s not that a glute kick-back couldn’t serve as a place to begin, but if you are ready to upgrade then stop doing these! Let’s put some heavy weight on those glutes and build up a nice solid foundation for our low back and overall body health!
.
1️⃣ Grab a barbell and a pad so that your hip bones don’t get too bruised and place it under the bar as you lean against a bench. Putting your upper back/shoulders on the bench, with knees slightly bent bridge up pushing the barbell up! You should feel great activation in the glutes!

Hip thrust (awesome with bands) and Glute gridge.
