Learn how to perform one of the most effective exercise for gluteus and over all lower body. This intermediate lower body exercise is very good because It can also correct your squats technique.
For this gluteus exercise you need to have barbell and step. Also remember to Warm up before every training.
This exercise is perfect for people who already had experience with squatting. Seated squats requires much wide motion range. Which means much more pressure on your gluteus. If with simple squats you had a chance to cheat a little bit with seated squats there is no room to cheat.
Try exercise without weights, before choosing barbell weight
Here are the rules you need to follow:
FIRST RULE – Full sit down and stand up on each repetition
SECOND RULE – Squeeze your gluteus tightly and push pelvis forward on top
THIRD RULE – Whiles sitting on the step lean forward before standing up
FOURTH RULE – Make sure your back is in neutral position all the way throw the exercise
EVERYWHERE: gym, park, at home, anywhere you like.
Not contracting gluteus on top
Choosing too heavy/too light weight
Arching/rounding back
Muscle building requires well balancd diet. For more information about nutrition please visit my Facebook.com/justinatraining or just email/text me directly.
