How to Properly Activate Your Glutes in the Squat - Level 3 Glute activation

How to properly use your glutes in the squat. If you're not activation your glutes when squatting, try this drill. If you can't feel your glutes working, check out some of my other drills in my glute activation series here:

After years of struggling with squats, weak glutes and lower back, this simple cue has changed my life. I finally feel my glutes and lower back working properly in the squat. Thank you

The trick of imagining someone pushing my butt up while I'm at the bottom actually worked at engaging my glutes a lot more!! Thanks man!

The “screwing” analogy is what has totally helped me. I have watched tons of videos & this one helped so much!

Finally I find a video of someone explaining how to engage- not just telling me to engage haha 😂

Thank you so much! Squats are one of my favourite exercises, but I've always been engaging with my quads and lower back. No matter how hard I tried, I've never had good-looking glutes. It's going to take a long time to retrain my form, but I can't wait to see my progress!

Seriously great explanation! Game changer and I feel squats way better than I previously did. I never stop learning when it comes to fitness! Love the video!

The best explanation, thank you so much! I can feel the squat in my glutes now not my quads which will make such a difference !

I took this advice today and started feeling it in the glutes thanks!

[gunlock]

wow incredible, This random youtube suggestion made me realize I was absolutely not engaging my glutes. After 5 air squats I really feel that butt working. Thanks Peter, this is a fantastic video

I used to do those 200 squat challenges. I never noticed a difference with the glutes. That's because I was working my quads more and saw more strength there. So I used to say how can squats work the glutes when I saw no results?

[CAFALLDAY]

My butt is sore because of you!! Lol thanks man i appreciate it 😁

This was a game changer for my mind muscles awareness

I am more or less a home-gym kind of guy that does a lot of cycling... so I kind of have semi-built quads and glutes.. but doing weighted squats shredded my quads unlike anything but dedicated up-hills and even then my cardio would give out before my legs did.. the glutes I find are engaging but I may need to make it more of a conscious engagement or just let my quads catch up.. unsure of which.

I tried screwing the feet while I was seated watching the video and my right-lower back immediately tensed up. It’s an ongoing problem I have. Do you have any tips for that? Thanks.

[damacx]

Interesting, so you don’t turn your feet 45 degrees to target the glutes more? I’m going to try your technique.

[dawncarter]

I have nuropathy in my feet so I can't tell where my weight is in my feet. I have little bit of feeling but I wouldn't be able to tell you if I am in hot or cold water or if someone stuck my feet with something sharp I wouldn't feel it. So I am just squatting and I know my glutes aren't activating at all.

[jdubdoubleu]

Shouldn't the toes be pointing outwards?

[Raulachu]

Good explanation! I have been doing them with poor results.

I only feel squats in my knees. I struggle doing 135. My knees are getting eradicated. I took a week off to heal. I cant increase my squat because of this.
