“My Glutes Will NOT Grow” (JUST DO THIS!)



If you have tried everything to grow bigger glutes but nothing seems to work, then this is a video that you have to watch. Here, I’m going to show you how even doing squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts and pullthroughs may not be enough when it comes to getting better glutes. The issue has to do with something called neuromuscular inefficiency with the glute muscles. Another term for this is a lack of mind muscle connection.

If you want to grow bigger glutes you have to be willing to take a step back if this is something you have and do something about it. Often times, this means doing less in order to get more.

First however, you should do the following test to see how strong or weak your mind muscle connection with your glutes really is.

Get down on the floor on your hands and knees. Start by extending one leg back as far and as straight as you can. From here, lift the heel up towards the ceiling by lifting the leg up. Notice how it feels in your glute maximus. Do you feel an intense contraction as if you just rolled up your shirt sleeve to flex your biceps?

If not, then be sure to test the other leg as well. Either way, you are going to want to do the glute exercise shown in this video.

If you do have a strong connection then be sure to do the following, check the position of the foot on the lifted leg. If your foot is turned out with the toes facing the side rather than pointed straight down to the floor then you used muscle substitution to make this happen and you really don’t have strong enough glutes and need to do the glutes exercise shown.

For the exercise for your glutes, I’m going to give you two options. The first requires a simple pullup bar and resistance band. The other can be done with just your own bodyweight.

Start by hanging a band around a pull-up bar and stepping your foot up into it. Anchor your hands against the sides of a doorframe if you do this on a doorway pullup bar or against something sturdy if you do not. Take a couple of steps backward so that your body is angled forward at about 20 degrees.

From here, allow your hip to rise as much as your range of motion allows you to as the band pulls your knee up to the ceiling. This is an important part of the glutes exercise since it will increase the overall range of motion that your glute muscles have to work in and will help in developing the neuromuscular connection that is lacking right now.

Start by pressing your foot flat down against the resistance of the band. This will create resisted extension of the hip with far less quad activation than would be normally seen with the straightening of the knee from the bottom position of a squat. As you get the leg close to vertical, continue pressing now back behind you. The angle of the band will change slightly as it wraps around your body, allowing you to get continued resistance against the backward pressing of the foot bringing the leg into further extension behind the torso.

Keep pressing and attempt to lift your leg up as far and as high as you can. The work of doing this against the downward force of gravity will be further resistance to the gluteus maximus. If you want to get the glutes to grow you have to be sure that you’re not substituting other muscles to do this. Be sure that the isolated extension is happening from the contraction of the glutes.

If you don’t have a band, try the variation shown against the wall.

Here you want to press one foot flat into the wall to lift your torso off the ground. Keep pushing until your hip is at neutral or even slightly beyond. Be careful to push through a flat foot rather than through the heel since you don’t want to turn this into a hamstring curl. If done right, the glute maximus will be the main muscle driving this and will respond with better strength.

When the glute max strength is improved, the performance on all of the other big lifts like squats, deadlifts and hip thrusts will improve as well.

Learn to recruit your glutes and wake up your glutes from the dormant state they are in right now with this exercise.

  2. I'm struggling with the wall one – on my right side I can feel it but my left side (weaker side) I can just feel it in my lower left back. Any tips? I'm trying to squeeze the glute and send my attention to that area but it's still not firing

  3. Thank you for this. My glute medius and adductors always seem to take over anything I do that is supposed to activate my glute maximus. The tip about avoiding external rotation really helped avoid the medius activation. That unconscious rotation must come from my years and years of dance. Now, if I could just deactivate my overdeveloped adductors, I'd be golden.

  4. Didn’t have the same bands available so I used the bands at my gym that have the plastic handles on each end. While doing the exercise, one end slipped off my foot, whacked the f@$k out of my face resulting in my tooth poking a hole in my lip 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Luckily it was at the end of my workout.

  5. Incredibly helpful! I’ve noticed one side way stronger than the other…my hamstrings are taking the brunt of the movement it seems….will keep trying this until I feel the glute active more. Thx Jeff!

  6. Flat butts are a combination of poor posture (pelvic tilt from stenosis) and a hormone balance that favors visceral fat storage over subcutaneous tissue fat storage. Woman have round butts from subcutaneous fat storage not muscle. This holds true for guys also. Guys who want you to believe their fat estrogen glutes are from body building are in denial. While building muscle can create a subtle change in contour, most of that volume is based on stored fat and a good arch in the lumbar region as well.

  7. Your videos have been the best at helping me isolate and strengthen the muscles that are not pulling their weight. Thanks so much for taking the time!

  8. You ask people to put their phone away and get away from their computers. Problem – how are we to watch your video if we put our computers away.

  9. I found the wall version to really work well, but with a post or pillar instead. It allows you to get as close as possible to the post because the other leg can just stick out freely beside it.

  10. But these exercises are not going to actually GROW the glutes are they?? Because no weights are involved so how can they grow???

  11. Help! Is this normal to feel it also in my hamstring? I feel it more on my left hamstring when I do it on the wall. I do feel my glutes as well, but not just glutes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong!?
