Glute Training and Spinal Flexion: The Rounding Debate Nobody Wants to Have
Is spinal flexion during glute training dangerous, or is the 'neutral spine at all costs' crowd just scared? We break down what the science actually says.
Exercises, gear, supplements, and opinions — sometimes backed by science, always backed by passion.
Is spinal flexion during glute training dangerous, or is the 'neutral spine at all costs' crowd just scared? We break down what the science actually says.
How fast you lift matters more than most people realize. Here's the science behind tempo manipulation for glute growth and how to actually use it in your programming.
Limited ankle dorsiflexion quietly wrecks your squat depth, glute activation, and knee tracking. Here's what's actually happening and how to fix it.
If your glutes won't fire, your hip flexors might be the ones holding the remote. Here's what hip flexor dominance actually means for your glute gains — and how to fix it.
Occlusion training isn't just for arms. Here's what blood flow restriction actually does to your glutes, when it works, and when it's overkill.
Your pelvis rotates every time you walk, and if that rotation is off, your glutes are quietly losing. Here's the mechanics nobody explains and how to fix it.
Training hard every session sounds noble. It's also why your glutes aren't growing. Here's what relative intensity actually means and how to use it.
Lifting straps seem like a back and deadlift tool. But used correctly, they can directly unlock more glute development by removing the grip bottleneck that's capping your heaviest hip-hinge work.
If your hip thrust keeps losing power at the top, your thoracic spine might be the problem. Here's the biomechanical reason your upper back is running your glute gains.
Most people either go too shallow or collapse at the bottom of every hip hinge. Here's what the science says about optimal depth for glute loading — and why 'as deep as possible' is not the answer.
Anterior pelvic tilt is blamed for everything from back pain to bad squats. But is fixing it the answer — or are you solving the wrong problem?
Hip external rotation affects every major glute exercise. Here's what's actually happening when you 'turn your toes out' and why getting it wrong is costing you gains.
