I started exercising at home, I underestimated the glute medious until I started to see changes, ( before my butt cheek would have an indentation line sort of, like a panty cut) and now after 5 weeks is looking more pumped less saggy, so excited, want to look better for my 47th bday 🎉😊
You just gave me inspiration I will be 46 December 21 and it is now the ending of August so if I start this possibly searching for some type of tension bands, my little butt, which is the same as you described will be OK because I have the same damn line
@@amberfords7716 yes, absolutely you can, if you combine donkey kicks, sumo squats, lounges, and bands 3 x week,( I do 60 of each excercise) I guarantee you, you will start to see results in a month.🤝🎁ofc eat well & rest 1 day in between. please come back & share.
False, because I have my foot turned slightly outwards & at an angle I’m working my medius. If my foot was straight, I’d be working my max. Please watch full video before commenting:)
No he's right, glute max is actually going to likely be the prime mover here, because glute max does both extension AND external rotation. Glute max is stronger than glute med so the body would pref glute max. It's hard to isolate just glute med but he's saying that abduction would be a much better way to do it, because that is the primary action of glute med.
@@theskyisoverrated abduction would then we targeting the glute minimus. He commented without taking into account the entire video which includes me angling my foot outwards and raising my leg up at an angle. This may not be completely obvious from a tripod POV but it was explained & shown in the video. Yes, this exercise will also engage glute max (just like glute focused Bulgarian split squats will still work your quads) but glute max is not main factor here and there’s no reason for this not be considered a glute medius cable kickback. Sure, anyone is free to choose another exercise they prefer targets a muscle group more but there’s no reason to not classify this as a glute medius cable kickback because it does in fact target that muscle. Please watch the full video beforehand & understand it can be difficult from my POV to film the full movement so you can see my position and ROM. Thanks so much😇
How do you work up to that? I tried doing that at the gym on the lowest weight and it felt like I was going to get sucked into the machine lol. I wasn’t strong enough.
Omg This is honestly SO HELPFUL! I never even attempted cable kickbacks before because I would just get confused & afraid I was going to injure myself & look stupid 😫 so thank you!
Don’t be afraid to look stupid, no one cares. Everyone started at some point. Just try it. After one session you’ll already know what to do and your confidence will grow over time. Focus on yourself and not on other people.
So I used to do this exercise that had the same way of attaching to your ankle but I did a standing hamstring curl. Cables have consistent resistance through the entire range of motion! Looks kinda silly but same kinda thing going on here. Good video for training glutes. Could be good for recent injury recovery as well 👍
You can buy them for like 10€ though. Where I live at least. My gym has them but you have to go ask for them at the reception. I bought myself a pair so I don’t have to..
Yes this targets glute medius. I’d recommend going light weight and high reps especially if you’re experiencing any pain around your hip area just to get yourself used to the movement while building some strength in your glutes:)
@@rachelmelHow if it’s a GLUTE video. How is she supposed to do glutes without showing glutes? And why would she be expecting stranger men online to “pick her”?
