“Glute Guy” Bret Contreras knows what it takes to sculpt your glutes, having created the hip thrust himself, he also runs the infamous Glute Lab in San Diego. Contreras shares his favorite glute medius exercise with his YouTube channel — the glute medius hip thrust.
“I know it’s not a hip thrust,” he says. “But the point is that it’s that good of an exercise for the gluteus medius, and I want everyone taking it seriously.” Right. In the video, Contreras explains and demonstrates how to do the exercise with proper form, including keeping it in the frontal plane, pre-stretching the upper glutes “with a lateral pelvic tilt” and how to “pop the lockout by moving the grounded leg laterally.”
