How to Best Target your Glutes in 45 Degree Hip Extension | Form Tutorial

In this video, Coach Alex walks us through how we teach our clients to perform the 45 degree hip extension to bias their glutes.
Remember, whenever we speak on bias it does not mean that other muscle groups are not working. As we work to bias the glutes, other hip extensors like the hamstrings & adductors are still playing a role.

Great advice on where to have the pad - at top of quad and not interfering w the hip rotation. That's a gem that isn't talked about much. 👍🏼💪🏽

Glad it was helpful! we agree! are you working on glute growth right now?

This is one of the best videos by far I've seen on this move. It's still a challenge for me but this helps tremendously. Are there any suggestions for if bodyweight alone is still too heavy? I think this may be my issue as I only ever feel my hamstrings in this move. Thank you 🎄

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

Adjusting the machine to a more vertical position could help, especially if it is set on a lower setting. And this exercise is going to place tension on the hamstrings alongside the glutes, so feeling your hamstrings in this move is appropriate.

I was about to cry after doing 5.

RT.. these are LEGIT

[@andyrausse3446]

Great video. Would you say this is closet to a hip thrust movement or a Kaz glute bridge or would you say it has its own benefits over those two other movements?

[@AlexBush_Shorts]

Hey Andy, thanks for asking. I would say it is going to more closely mimic a Kaz glute bridge as we are going to have the similar greater priority of the shortened position.

[@andyrausse3446]

Great, appreciate the reply Alex

[@cdecesarenisky]

Do you have a machine that you recommend? Thanks!

[@AlexBush_Shorts]

Thanks for asking, Carl! I'm assuming you mean a machine that mimics the movement pattern? a plate loaded glute bridge machine would be similar!

[@Wetterwet]

Can this be replicated on a GHD?

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

It can, but it is usually more difficult toward the top of the exercise (where you are a bit weaker). Try it out! If you like it, keep using it.

[@AnastasiiaN]

I have a question. I feel like my knees are hyperextended. Can you suggest something to fix it? I tried to bend my knees, but it is impossible.

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

Hey, great question! I imagine that the piece of equipment is a little big for you, later in the video we talk about putting the 45 lb plates under your feet to make it easier to to not hyperextend at the knee & that is what we would recommend!

[@AnastasiiaN]

@@PhysiqueDevelopment thank you for your quick answer and advise. Yeah, I saw that in your video. But I'm 5.8 feet tall. So I think this exercise is not for me.

[@loonluna4558]

Plates under th foot?! Why didn't i think of that!!!!

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

such a good hack!! let us know how it goes when you use it!

[@niel1978]

Too much of talking

[@AlexBush_Shorts]

It's 3 min & 30 sec, I was as efficient as I could be with the content that I am teaching on. I appreciate your feedback.

[@danielcruz-bk6yl]

They need to explain what’s going on…
