The Glute Max does that?

-There’s lots of talks about glutes and glute function. When was the last time you thought about the gluteus maximus has an internal rotator of the hip? We did a recent podcast and talked about this during climbing. 

-As the thigh flexes to 90° or greater, the internal rotational power of both the gluteus maximus and medius increases exponentially. Think about this when prescribing your rehabilitation exercises and get creative!

For a lot more information on this as well as other fun things with the glutes join us tomorrow evening for our monthly third Wednesdays Teleseminar on onlinece.com biomechanics 328 tomorrow night, 7 central 

Come join us for an hour of talking about peoples butts and how to make them work better :-)

How do your gluteus maximus and gluteus medius exercises stack up?

Looks like side planks (DL=dominant leg) and single leg squats scored big, as did front planks and good old “glute squeezes”

Yes, we know it was surface emg; yes we know they are not necessarily testing functional movements. The EMG does not lie and offers objective data. Note that the one graph is labelled wrong and is the G max, not medius.
