Your "weak glutes" aren’t the problem

Be honest for a second.

Are your glutes stronger than they were six months ago?

Yes.

Are you still modifying lifts, still having flare ups, still waiting for things to finally click?

Also yes.

Those two things should not exist at the same time.

If weakness was the real problem, getting stronger would have fixed it.

But it did not.

Which means weakness was never the problem.

Here is what is actually happening.

When load increases, force increases. Demand goes up. Your body has to manage that force somewhere.

If the system cannot distribute that load across the entire body, one area picks up the slack. It works overtime.

That is why the same spot keeps flaring up again and again.

Pain does not show up because one muscle is weak.

Pain shows up when total demand exceeds total capacity.

That is not a glute problem.

That is a system problem.

So stop asking:

“What muscle do I need to strengthen?”

Start asking:

“Why does my body fail when load increases?”

That question actually leads somewhere.

Talk soon,
