Glutes that won't fully activate might not be a glute problem — they might be a big toe problem. Big toe extension is required for maximum glute contraction at end of stride. Without it, the activation is cut short on every step. Reconnect the toe to the glute with... show more

The secret to getting better glute activation isn’t always through banded exercises or glute bridges. When executed with proper form, a single leg kickstand hinge is a surefire way to torch your glutes. Glutes properly activate when the pelvis is aligned with proper spine position and foot pressure into the ground. Here’s what you need to know 👇

I could not be prouder of the club 💙 To go toe to toe with Celtic and deservedly go in ahead at half time is a credit to every player. 5-2 is extremely harsh and not a reflection of the game. The backing from the stands was phenomenal, thank you 👏

Proper big toe mobility is crucial for efficient movement and overall lower limb health. But most people don’t realize the real reason why it commonly becomes limited. When your posture shifts forward, placing your center of gravity over your forefoot, it can restrict the extension of your big toe. This limitation doesn’t just affect your toe; it sets off a chain reaction of compensations throughout your body. Common compensations include: - Rolling off the outside of the foot: To bypass the restricted big toe, the body may shift weight laterally, leading to increased stress on the outer foot and ankle. - Early heel lift during gait: Limited toe extension can cause the heel to lift prematurely, disrupting the natural walking pattern. - Reduced stride length: Inadequate big toe mobility can shorten your stride, affecting overall gait efficiency. - Increased forefoot pressure: Compensatory patterns can lead to excessive pressure on the forefoot, potentially causing discomfort or injury. - Altered hip and knee mechanics: The body may adjust hip and knee movements to compensate, which can lead to joint stress and discomfort.

I filmed yesterday’s leg workout for a YouTube video that will be posted later tonight. This is one of my favorite exercises to end my workouts with. It’s the perfect movement to target the ham-glute insertion. If you are looking for some tips to target your ham-glute insertion, then you should check out tonight’s YouTube video. I go over my set up and execution of the 45 degree hip extension.

The single-leg RDL is a seriously underrated exercise for single-leg strength, hamstring resilience, and real hip stability. But it also humbles you. If your balance falls apart the moment you send your hips back, the issue is not balance. It means your glutes and hamstrings aren't controlling the hip, so your body goes looking for stability everywhere else. That’s why you wobble. Focus on these: - Tripod foot. Weight spread across big toe, little toe, and heel. Steady base, steady everything above it. - Slight, fixed knee bend. A small bend in the standing knee, held the whole rep. Hinge, not squat. - Straight rear leg. Keep it long and in line with your torso so it moves as one with you. - Level pelvis. Both hip bones facing the floor. Let it rotate open and your glute medius quits. Drive the hip straight back, feel the hamstring lengthen and take the load, then stand tall. If you get that right, the balance will be sorted.

This exercise should be mandatory if you sit at a desk. It's called a Glute Bridge Hold. Here's why you need to do this: Your glutes should be one of the strongest muscles in your body. But due to desk jobs & long periods of sitting they get weaker. This puts more pressure on the lower back to support the body causing low back pain. When you sit for hours on end you put pressure on your glute muscles. This keeps them in a lengthened position & tightens the hip flexors making the glutes less likely to fire properly. A simple set of 12-15 reps before or after sitting down can be enough to "wake up" your glutes so they stay activated. Make sure to focus on your butt muscles squeezing at the top of the movement. Remember that humans were not meant to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. This exercise will help reverse the effects. You might even feel some relief in your low back as a result of doing it.

Clamshells are one of the most overrated glute exercises. The glutes main action is hip extension, but they do have an abduction and external rotation component that the clamshell does train. However, the clamshell has a lot of limitations. A better alternative would be this exercise I modified and cue a bit different from Postural Restoration Institute.

All Thumbs? The rise of the artificial thumb operated by a big toe is an interesting idea but I would be aware of fancy footwork.
