Glutes! Probably the most attractive part of any human’s physical appearance. Men look at them and women also like a nice butt.
There’s no doubt well developed glutes can enhance anyone’s attractiveness.
Aside from that, are they an important muscle group? Should everyone be training them? How do you train them?
The glutes are made of three muscles- gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
The glutes are responsible in helping the body run, jump, sprint, squat, carry, throw, strike, cut on a dime and more!
Proper glute training can alleviate lower back pain, prevent knee injuries, enhance athletic performance, and help the elderly get around.
Making it an important muscle group to develop.
Both men and women should be training their glutes on a regular basis. There’s a strong correlation between a heavy hip thrust and setting new personal bests at the squat and deadlift.
Stronger glutes can generate more force onto the ground allowing elite athletes the ability to display incredible athleticism with ease!
Fellas, don't be afraid to train your glutes. Stronger glutes can help with strenuous hard labor jobs like construction, landscaping, and home building by allowing your core to keep your spine stable at all times during work.
Decreasing the risk of work related injuries. And what woman doesn't like a well-cheeked man?!
To all my gamers out there! Stronger glutes can improve your posture while you stand and prevent muscle atrophying in the buttocks from sitting long hours gaming.
Also having developed glutes makes sitting more comfortable because you're providing your own cushion around your butt bones.
Training the glutes can stabilize your pelvis, which provides support for your spine so your back doesn't ache. Giving you one less thing to worry about while defeating Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
A strong pair of glutes has also shown to help pregnant women walk upright and alleviate lower back pain during pregnancy.
There are many glute exercises out there but the king of them all is the hip thrust. According to Electromyography (EMG) tests, the hip thrust showed far more glute activation than the lung, squat, deadlift, and glute kick back!
Because of the direct load it has on hip extension, the hip thrust translates perfectly into the squat and deadlift!
