Go through day 1 from our 3 day full body glute squad special program with coach @jamiederevere in the app 😍🤩 Jamie is doing this workout from our new @bcstrengthofficial studio, so she chose the commercial gym option but made some swaps to accommodate the limited equipment

Don’t make this mistake with your knee-banded hip thrusts! If you’re putting a band above your knees when hip thrusting but not pushing out against the band throughout the set, why even have it on? Before you even start the set, push out against the band and keep that tension throughout. Interestingly, wearing a band activates more upper glute max and the same amount of lower glute max, but not more glute medius. So even though you have to use around 10% lighter loads, you do end up activating the upper glute max even more, without sacrificing any lower glute max activation. The reason why is that glute activation is really low at the bottom of a hip thrust because the glutes don’t activate very high as hip extensors when in deep hip flexion (in the stretch). You can also try pushing out even harder on the way down/at the bottom of the rep: When you push out in deep hip flexion, your glutes activate much higher, indicating that in the stretch position, the CNS decides to activate them to a greater degree as ABDUCTORS than as EXTENSORS. Very interesting aspect of muscle physiology. So similar stretch but higher glute activation. To @bretcontreras1, that has to equal more growth. But no studies exist so until we have evidence, he thinks it’s smart to do it this way. Jamie is using a S/M regular Glute Loop above her knees and has the whole Thruster 3.0 set up!
Incredible results from our member @summerb_ferguson 🤩 Keep crushing it Summer, we can’t wait to see what else you will achieve!
Want to switch things up from standard deficit reverse lunges? Deficit reverse lunges already do an excellent job of hitting the glutes in a lengthened position. By adding a curtsy action, you may increase the stretch placed on the upper glute max, while sumo-stance movements may shift more emphasis toward the lower glute max. That’s why @bretcontreras1 programmed both curtsy/rotational variations and sumo-stance exercises this month. The goal is to theoretically hammer both subdivisions of your glute max with these combined variations. Coach @jamiederevere is using BC Strength blocks to increase the range of motion. You don’t need much height here, 1–2 blocks (about 2–4 inches) is plenty. A few technique tips: ▪️Don’t whip your back leg around or step too far across your body. A small step slightly behind you is all you need. ▪️Keep your hips squared forward throughout the movement instead of allowing them to rotate open. This helps maintain the position needed to achieve the desired stretch.
