The Best and the Worst Glutes Exercises
Worst Glutes Exercise: the Fire Hydrant and Anything Else that Happens in a 'Muscle Sculpting' Class
What a pathetic, demeaning exercise. Get off your knees, you are not a dog. Besides, the glutes are very powerful. It takes a lot more than repetitive butt squeezes to get them to shape up.
Best Glutes Exercise: the Hip Pull-through
Facing away from a cable machine, stick your arms between your legs and grab a triceps pushdown rope attached to the low cable. Keeping your arms straight take a step forward to load your muscles. Now squeeze your glutes and drive your hips forward while locking out your knees. If your knees stay bent, the drill will not work.
In addition to a hard butt you will get your deadlift moving, both the start and the lockout. Louie Simmons’ famous powerlifting club swears by this exercise.
