There is a lot of underrated muscles, but sadly a lot of people who train(lets exclude training for a specific sport and the like) are only doing it for looks, not because they want to be strong, fit, and healthly
One of my favorite is a supported single leg RDL but when I bring the weight back up I will use my knee/thigh (with some assist from my hand) lift it into hip flexion then hold squeezing the glutes for isometric hold. I found this helps since I run 4x/wk As a PTA I love seeing all the variations of exercises in all your videos cuz I forget how many ways you can train muscles.
As always this channel is amazing! I will always have immense gratitude for what you guys do. This channel really saved my hamstring when I had proximal tendinopathy. Thank you again 🩷
Great video as always. I think the balance that I find difficult with things like ‘your glutes aren’t switched off’ is that I believe there is nuance. Of course the glute medius isn’t switched off and, typically, you don’t need to hyper focus on things like pump sensation. But, I think it is the case that people tend to preferentially load some muscles over others. In day to day life this probably isn’t a problem, but if you get an injury or are experiencing pain, I think then it is importance to have some sensation of using the muscles in a given area and maybe even focusing on exercises that are more isolated. As things stand I think there is a balance to be struck somewhere between what the research tells us and what we see in clinic, which is certainly an uneasy line to tread, particularly as someone inclined to follow the research.
A very good point. After a serious knee injury a while ago, I still get knee pain to this day. A lot of the reason for this is that I compensated with a limp early on and my muscles were allowed to waste away when waiting for operation. This meant I wasn't activating certain leg muscles much at all and my subsequent rehabilitation was done with an unusual gait! It was a few years until I really began to focus on healing properly and noticed my funny walking. Comparing legs, it was clear to see the areas I had been neglecting. Videos like these have been tremendously useful in my continued rehab.
I agree, especially with the gluteus medius ... it can be difficult to actually get it working as it should with some exercises due to the TFL taking over.
Is the stimulus for the single leg variations sufficiently different that you'd always advocate for them over the 2-leg version? Hip thrusts and RDLs have obvious single and 2-leg variations - is it better to favour the single leg version for some reason or were they just the ones mentioned in the research and the double leg version is equally beneficial?
They have a video titled "how to perform perfect Romanian Deadlifts" that mentions that a single leg variation will switch more of the focus of the exercise from the hamstrings to the glutes. I assume that's the reason. Also, for me, it's great to be able to do more reps on my previously injured leg to get it back to parity.
glute medius is a hip stabiliser, by standing on one leg, your hips need that extra stability, so it recruits the glute medius far more than the stable two legged versions
What about running up hill, a hill that's to big to run up all the way so that you have to walk half of it. Say a 20% slope for a 1/4 mile or (if you do get strong) do it a number of times? Ive been using the rubber band for year but now that I'm running up hill, in just a few months, I'm too strong for the band and feel like I could break it. It's a Iron Woody blue band.
How does the sitting hip abduction machine factor in ? is it useful for gluteal medias training. Ive seen the machine at PF and was wondering about it ?
Great content as always. I think a notable mention for gluteus medius exercises is the "runner's hang" described by Movement Odyssey in this video: ruclips.net/video/P25Kb724ESU/видео.html&pp=ygUMcnVubmVycyBoYW5n Essentially it's a single leg RDL isometric hold.
I always come away from your videos feeling more empowered. Thank you!
This video is so helpful and I am glad I found it. I get tired of "weakness" in one muscle causing all the world's aches and pains.
Thank you guys so much for uploading these educational videos. You are changing lifes
Exceptional content. Recovering from a glute medias tendon tear and this is very helpful.
How useful video!Thank you!
Side walking stairs, every day 4 floors is my solution for glutes med.for my age (59) and 17years of arthritis psoriatica in almost all joints.
Thank you so much for the wonderful information and education. Admire your knowledge and the skillful presentation.
Thank you for making great concise videos
Good exercises, thanks.
Great vídeo, the best explanación ever. Thanks for your generosity
So good!!! Best one of this kind.
thank you!
the variations offered are super appreciated, this is extremely helpful :)
Severely underrated muscle. Causes majority of my left side hip issues. Standing hip abduction at the cable station with ankle cuff works best for me.

Great video. Im an endurance coach and use most of this exersises with my athletes
Excellent man!
Excellent video
Anothr good and informative video. E3, alongside the likes of Barbell Medicine, are my go to for training/rehab education.
Both great channels. Squat University and Kneesovertoesguy are also good channels
useful, thanks

Very interesting.
@E3rehab can you pls suggest some exercises for external rotation of foot or we say duck feet coz it occurs in many ppl , thanks in advance .😊
Excelentes ensinamentos
Hi. What exercises are good for disrupted tendon glutes medium? Thanks

Running uphill is a great way to train the lower body.

Thank a lot Sydney for this glutes workout session, it hurts 🤣
