<\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.spscgym.com<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n To develop a great butt<\/a> you need to train your glutes through their complete range of movement. That is where glute dominant training comes into the picture. These are movements that involve bent knee hip extension. Whereas exercises that are quad dominant, like squats, hit the glutes predominantly down low when the hips are flexed, glute dominant moves get the whole of the gluteus maximus firing, especially when the hip are locked out in full extension. Not only will this allow you to perfectly shape your buns, it will also give you strength through the full spectrum of the rear end.<\/p>\n Here are six key reasons why you need to include glute dominant training in your butt training program:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.iachiropractic.com<\/p>\n Many people are confused as to which of these exercises – the glute bridge or the hip thrust – they should do to build and strengthen their glutes. The answer is that you should do both. The hip thrust is the better exercise in terms of development because it puts your glutes through a full range of motion. The advantage of the glute bridge is that you are able to use a much heavier weight on it, which maximises glute activation.<\/p>\n The hip thrust should be the mainstay of your glute dominant workout. Every now and again, though, throw in some heavy glute bridges. The stronger you are able to get on these exercises, provided that you maintain perfect form, the better your butt will look. When you are able to hip thrust 225 pounds (for a woman) without cheating, you will have a butt that will turn heads ( and possibly cause traffic accidents).<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.tonygentilcore.com<\/p>\n The barbell glute bridge is a progression from a bodyweight glute bridge. Adding weight to this exercise helps to develop stronger glutes using a shorter range of motion. This exercise allows you to use extremely heavy weight from a stable position. Many individuals benefit from mastering this movement prior to performing the barbell hip thrust because it’s simpler with less range of motion and easier in terms of activating the glutes.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Tips for Optimum Performance<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.zomt.com.au<\/p>\n The hip thrust is the number one hip building exercise. The knees stay bent so that the hamstrings are inhibited, forcing the glutes to work harder. Tension doesn’t let off the glutes throughout the movement like it does in other popular glute exercises. This constant tension causes a deep burn in the glutes. Muscle activation reaches a high point due to the end-range glute muscle force requirements.<\/p>\n The hips move through their complete range of movement, and the glutes produce incredible force as a result of the stable nature of the movement.<\/p>\n Since the core isn’t a limiting factor like it is in other movements, the hip thrust allows the gluteus maximus to maximise its output.Increasing glute strength and glute muscle activation will not only improve aesthetics, but it will improve the leverage and power that the glutes produce during exercise and positively impact the way your body moves and transfers force.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Common Hip Thrust Errors<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.t-nation.com<\/p>\n This a fantastic glute exercise that is seldom seen in gyms anymore. If your gym does have a reverse hyper machine count yourself lucky – and use it!<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Common Hip Thrust Errors<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.t-nation.com<\/p>\n This exercise lifts the deltoids and a single foot. This not only provides a greater range of motion, it also make the exercise more intense and allows you to work uni-laterally. This builds rotar stability in the hips and effectively works the glutes. The hamstrings are heavily worked as you force them to do two things in this movement – extend the hip and stabilize the knee. This is the most challenging hip thrust variation, and advanced exercisers can always perform the variation when they can’t get to their local gym by using a couch and a chair. Just make sure they don’t slide apart in the middle of the set.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Glute accessory exercises involves hip abduction, hip transverse abduction, and hip rotation movements. While hip abduction movements focus more on the upper glutes, hip external rotation movements activate the entire glute.<\/p>\n The exercises in this category also strengthen other important hip muscles such as the hip external rotators, the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. These muscles are critical for proper lumbo-pelvic-hip motion during functional movement.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.pinterest.com<\/p>\n The band seated abduction works the upper glutes from a seated, hip-flexed position. This builds hip strength needed to force the knees out during squatting tasks. This exercise is very easy to perform, and when performed correctly, it produces a nice burn in the glutes.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Tips for Optimum Performance<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.fix-knee-pain.com<\/p>\n The X-Band Walk strengthens the upper glutes from a standing, athletic position that is common in sports.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.womenshealthmag.com<\/p>\n The standing cable abduction targets the upper glutes and strengthens both hip abductors simultaneously. The grounded leg works isometrically, while the free leg works dynamically through a full range of motion. This is a challenging exercise shouldn’t be underestimated.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Tips For Optimum Performance<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Source: www.coreperformance.com<\/p>\n The double-quadruped hip abduction is a unique hip exercise that strengthens the upper glutes in a hips-flexed position, which is important for activities such as squatting. It takes some practice to get it right, but you’ll definitely like this movement more than the standard fire hydrant exercise that doesn’t involve as much range of motion.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Tips For Optimum Performance<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The cable hip rotation help you build and strengthen the muscles in your hips that produce a twisting motion, especially the gluteus maximus because it has the best leverage for this pattern. This exercise is incredibly challenging, and many struggle to perform it properly. Once you get it right, it will activate your glutes to amazing levels, and you’ll feel strong and powerful at rotational movements.<\/p>\n How to Do it?<\/span><\/p>\n Tips For Optimum Performance<\/span><\/p>\n Click here to read the last part<\/a> of the glute training guide.
