How To Squat With MORE Glute Activation!

[NorthenTasawwuf]

Started banded squats and good mornings as part of my rehab and I'm doing better than ever. Turns out there was a gift of injury; poor glute max/medius activation. This caused all my current problems. Now doing better than ever! Thanks for the inspiration! Don't sleep on banded work.

I've done almost everything on this channel, but hell

This tip is one of my favourites, I recently started hitting near 400lbs for a low bar trap bar deadlift

I was having a bit of a free day to muck about in the gym, slapped that band around just under my knees and hit 330 for 4 reps, 3 sets with relative ease

This is exactly what I needed. Just found out I’m hamstring/quad heavy. Had no idea. This is super helpful in getting started addressing that.

Around the midfoot also gives you the same cues, with a bonus of forcing you to screw your feet into the ground.

Hey there, love your vids! I’m gettin into more stability and mobility side of training and I see everyone using so many different bands. Could you please make a vid showing all the different types and uses for these bands? Would be much appreciated 🙏

The article states that forefoot placement of the band had the most myoelectric activity of the hip muscles, so why not place the bands there?

I guess my major question without reading it would be, “did they use EMG as a means of testing the level of activation, and then extrapolate force production from squat based on that?” That would be an incorrect application of the usefulness of EMG in making those conclusions then.

Does the use of the band offer any strength gaining benefit or is it just technique correcting?

[drewramirez]

I wonder can both band positions when being used at same time is beneficial or too much?
I've seen some people demonstrate it that way

What resistant range band is best for shin position?

[selenophile]

Which stance for glute activation without a band ???

[MissBlackMetal]

Hey @squatuniversity, what mm (or inch) thickness should we be looking for in the band, if we want to use it around the ankles? I cant tell how thick yours is in the video.

[Hankman]

Does it only enhance glute medius activation or also glute maximus activation?

[tomnohmy]

If working out was this technical, I don't think I would have asked for a weight set 40 years ago, thank God I don't take it that seriously and do my best 40 years later.

I've gotta practice with just the band

[gafgarion]

What about with the two bands on? Can we have a proper form with that?

[rcg]

I found another good one: have someone stand behind you with a running chainsaw and let them gun it at the bottom of each rep.

[jeremypritchett]

Will this work for hex bar dead lifts too?

I have a problem with my lower back rolling out

[urnothing_]

what can you do if your shoulder cracks when doing lateral raises?
