My PT wants me to do this. But I am pretty sure I have.

Glute bridge with a band around your knees until you get a feel for it and can flex your ass on command

And fisting yourself

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

I have the same issue when doing barbell squats. Which is why I prefer leg press and the hack squat machine. I'm pretty sure I have mobility issues. Squatting with your heels elevated on 5 pound plates can help dramatically, but can be dangerous if you're squatting heavy weight. (Ded fkn Srs)

The only accurate response is to post pics of full glute spread on misc for furtherassessment.

Dont work on glute mind muscle connection dedfknsrs. You dont want developed glutes. You cant wear any jeans from the store, everything has to be tailored or some weird tom****ery like wearing waist 38 skinnyjeans so they look slimfit & fit your ass.


Tell your bitchboi PT nobody cares about legs & he should consider to actually start lifting

Deep squats tend to sort that out.

Get yourself a band because there are a ton of exercises you can do to activate the glutes.

Banded squats, side squats, squat and knee drive, hip hinge, single leg hip abductions, kickbacks, glute bridge, monster walk or v-walk, etc...
