  • 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.

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

  • 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 ,

  • @gregoryj69 Gregory, I think I understand what you are saying, but is there a chance you can shoot a video for me dude?

  • 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.

  • @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.

  • a great exercise if you are working on your fucking motion! lol

  • @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.

  • @Redneckamerican5792 Yeah, pritty much.

  • So pritty much you are making the braced bending exercise with a band without using the back muscles
