  • The Glute Medius Hip Thrust
    Here’s my favorite glute medius exercise…I’m calling it the Glute Medius Hip Thrust. I know it’s not a hip thrust but the point is that it’s that good of an exercise for the gluteus medius, and I want everyone taking it seriously.
    In the video I explain and demonstrate how to keep it in the frontal plane, how to prestretch the upper glutes with a lateral pelvic tilt, and how to “pop” the lockout by moving the grounded leg laterally.
    The great thing about this exercise is that you can do it anywhere as it only requires something to hold onto and a plate. And you can easily progressively overload it by holding onto heavier plates or dumbbells over time.
    I hope you all enjoy the content!

    As a Licensed Massage Therapist who finds glute medius weakness and imbalance in nearly every client, I cannot thank you enough for this video. I will be sharing this video with my clients as they are always asking how to strengthen their glute medius.

      ​@ClaireEmilia there are videos on how to determine it. I was able to tell that my left is barely engaging and after a few seconds it completely disengages and all the surrounding muscles and my righ5 side is over compensating. It's causing a lot of pain and now I can identify most of what's going on after doing the tests.

      “Latin”? Latin=italy. Americans have mutilated and misappropriated Latin terms which come from Italy, if it doesn’t originate from Italy, it’s Not Latin. Instead it’s Just a false caricature and misrepresentation of what it means to be Latin. Educated people of Mediterranean Italian descent find it very annoying and offensive that our ancestral terms are constantly misused by uneducated people who have nothing to do with actually being Latin. Latin/Latino = the Mediterranean descendants of Italy and Roman derived Latin Europe. It ends there

    Just joined Booty by Bret a month ago - it’s amazing how your program works that well with just online contents🙌🏻 my upper glute got lifted up, waist shrunk down by 2cm, resulting in an 0.68 waist to hip ratio ( which is the best number I ever had). Most amazingly I look leaner but I stayed at the same weight. You are an absolute legend! Appreciate your work!
