Thanks for reply Today I tested again in glute bridge iso hold for 1 minute. I mostly feel in my glute, but also in hamstrings just bellow the glute (like you wrote) Also i notice for a firts time that I can’t stretch/extend my hip flexors to straight level. But on Thomas test I am negative on both sides, I go bellow horizontal with my thigh.

Also I think that is important to know that I have very big and I mean veryyyy big quadriceps mostly of my genetics and skiing and martial arts thats why I belived that I am mostl quad dominant so because that I need much more hip extensions exercises.

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks and I love your work

Yeah, you’re hamstrings don’t necessarily need to be tight, they can be dominant meaning they just do most of the work during hip extension exercises.

When you do a bridge hold it for 1 minute and notice where you feel it working most…This will tell you a lot.

And, deadlifts are an awesome exercise but you’re right that overdoing them can lead to dominant hamstrings.

I hope this helps…Keep me posted Robert and thanks for your comments,

Kevin

Reply to your answer is: I don’t role my hips in glute bridges ( at least what I saw on camera) but movement is small and I almost entirely straighten my hips and don’t feel it in lower back when I do them for reps aor iso hold. Also for twnty years in martial arts I developed quite good flexibilty in hamstrings (only one pull ) Maybe you can tell me what is good forward flexing position with straight legs and stiff low back?

If this is hamstring dominance issue than maybe is because the last two years before this one I entierly perform dead lifts. Which maybe lead to stiff hams. But I stretch a lot (static and dynamic)

Thanks for a reply agagin and looking forward to order your ebook.

Take care and all the best

In other words, you’re either overcompensating with the hamstrings or they’re just plain tight at the attachment to the ischial tuberosity (just under your glute max). Or perhaps a little of both.

When you do your glute bridges make sure you aren’t ‘rolling’ your hips off the floor. If you hold the bridge position for 60 seconds notice where you feel it.

You might feel quite a bit of the hamstrings working.

Thanks for the question Robert and keep me posted on your results ok?

I have question regarding posterior tilt of hip during squats. When I lower below quarter of squat, my hip is starting o tilt posteriorly. I know that I was quad dominant for most of my life (skiing, martial arts, biking…) but after a year of stretching my quads and ilio-psoas m. and foam rolling and all that It seems that postrior tilt is not going away. I am doing mostly hip dominant exe now (DL, glute bridge, cook hip lifts …) to compensate for this. Hope it’ll work in near future.

Do you have answer to this?

Take care

Robert
