Is glutamate the same thing or related to gluten? Gluten intolerance seems to be the in thing among the trendy health enthusiast, with some even think they are intolerant when they are not. Lol.

 

should be separate things. unrelated from my understanding.

So did 100 squats last night. Lol today morning, quads nuah like jelly  [laugh]

 

 

just watch the video, seem like a good challenge. 

 

And it is not confine to just squats, you can also do it with push ups, sit ups. In fact any basic body weight resistance  movements.

 

Support you. Go for it and make that 30 days!!!  [thumbsup]  [laugh]  [laugh]

 

Keep doing even when you get the soreness, just do it!!!  [bounce2]

If just want to target butt, lunges are more effective than squats.

From my previous experience I think lunges can hurt my knee more. I think it requires more technique than squats. And u need to do it properly even when u are tired. So squats are bit easier.

 

Anyway both my quads and gluts are weak so I don't mind working either.

I'm a real chicken legs kind of guy even during ns.

Incorporate squads into your daily activities. That's when we da pao durian  home, we will spread newspapers on the floor and everybody will squat to eat.  [laugh]

Save your knees do reverse lunges instead if regular lunges.

Agree. Not as effective compared to forward lunges in targeting the butt (don't know why) but it's still more effective than squats and it's easier on the knees since less tendency to lean forward, thus pushing your knees beyond your toes.

Convert home sitting toilet bowl to squat toilets.

A physio working with my friend in his rehab recommended the clamshell exercise to Target glutes specifically. Use a resistance band around knees to increase difficulty. No strains on knees and excludes tour quads and hamstring compare to squats and lunges. Looks deceptively easy. I will be incorporating it to strengthen my core.

This one without resistance band is quite useless.

I tried before.

 

Glut medius isolation, I currently do about 3 bodyweight exercises. Some are Recommended by athlean x.

 

1 is a glut bridge but with your feet together (sole to sole) under you. This reduces your hamstring component. If you do a single leg bridge and u start to cramp in your hamstrings, shows u relying on hamstrings mostly.

 

2nd is lying on your side like Buddha, then bring your upper leg above and behind you (toes angle downwards) then while keeping your glut medius activated, bring your knee down to Infront of your body. U can put your upper hand on your hip or lower back. This is more of an isolation activation exercise.

 

The last would be lying on your back legs extended. Lift up your legs slightly to say 20-30 degree then abduct your legs and back and do sets. It works both your lower abs and gluts at the same time. Very time efficient exercise for me. Better than doing flutter kicks.

 

I was mostly using hamstrings despite doing regular one leg or two legged glut bridges. Well that's my input. If you have resistance band,u can do clamshells but I don't find it easy to mentally activate this glut medius muscle. The above two are more natural ways to activate it

There's a athlean x video on the above two. But he has so many videos lol. Can't find for now.

Strengthen quads also important leh.

Of course, but it is useful to address the imbalance among your muscle groups. I have seen the altheanx video....concludes need to work on my glutes.

I wonder if these imbalance that cause me to be injury prone.

No need to waste money to convert. Just squat ontop of the toilet seats. [laugh] Only need to lay more toilet paper on the water so it will not splash too much.

Don't be so prc, can?
