i can hardly feel anything when i do this. is this because my hip flexors are too tight? the only glute activation exercise i seem to be able to do with no problems is lateral band walks. its starting to play on my nerves now since i just want to squat and deadlift. i hate that im not getting the benefits from both, but theres not alot i can do until i fix the problem first.
also for extras stability you can hold something stable in front like a rack or somethings its like kneeling forward hip thrust.against band because the kneeling p[osition seens like natural human position kinda.
could also go to one leg as you describe. cheers it try out ,
from the kneeling position do a hip thrust , seems its like a kneelling hip thrust, agaisnts band tension, seen very natural human movement, then let the band pull you back so you is sitting on the heels, then boom thrust again, can change the angle of the legs a the hip,ie knees can be together or different widthd apart also feet can be together or variuos widths apart, seems very natural and functional
Hello Jedd, i have a glute exercise for you to try which i have never seen anyone do before,
i have just moved to a new town about 6 weeks ago and when i arrived i was isolated in a cabin with just a few things one being a band, so i was trying out a few different things, try this, attatch the band to secure object with room in front then , stand inside band and pull up to waist/hip area now kneel down and crawl forward a bit till you get good tension, now this is funny ( humping movement)
@docfarmstrong Yes I have. They definitely work the glutes. However, I found you can also end up using a lot of hamstrings and lower back. I found this movement focuses right on the glutes while also stretching the hip flexor. For me with extremely tight hip flexors, it has seemed to really help me out.

@alexjones234 It could be the hip flexors are tight. are you able to upload a video of yourself doing it?

@JeddJohnson - i would if i could, but i dont have access to a camera. my phone had one, but thats goners.
im guessing the hip flexors have a lot to answer for. i get the same feeling when i do glute bridges, hip thrusts etc.

you are right it is an extremely easy mobility drill for the hip flexors. A perfect mind to muscle exercise. Thank you.

Thanks for the info Jedd ! Is there an ideal set/rep scheme ?

@313PATRIOT I like to do sets of 6 really focusing on feeling the heightened contraction of the glute and stretch of the hip flexors.
