Do Your Hamstrings Dominate Your GLUTES? (4 Exercise Reset)

Video Description

Do your hamstrings dominate your glutes during lower body exercises? In this video, Coach E from Precision Movement breaks down why this happens and shares four key hamstring exercises to reset your movement patterns and wake up your glutes. Many people find that their hamstrings take over during exercises like hip bridges, deadlifts, squats, and lunges, leading to weak glutes and movement imbalances. If this sounds familiar, it’s likely due to a common issue called “gluteal amnesia,” which occurs when the glutes forget to activate properly - often because of prolonged sitting. Coach E explains the science behind hamstring dominance, why it’s crucial to fix, and shares four exercises to help reset your neuromuscular system so your glutes can work as they should. By incorporating these moves, you'll improve lower body strength and overall movement efficiency.
