Here’s my favorite glute medius exercise…I’m calling it the Glute Medius Hip Thrust. I know it’s not a hip thrust but the point is that it’s that good of an exercise for the gluteus medius, and I want everyone taking it seriously.
In the video I explain and demonstrate how to keep it in the frontal plane, how to prestretch the upper glutes with a lateral pelvic tilt, and how to “pop” the lockout by moving the grounded leg laterally.
The great thing about this exercise is that you can do it anywhere as it only requires something to hold onto and a plate. And you can easily progressively overload it by holding onto heavier plates or dumbbells over time.
