I started a butt talk last week about the importance of strong glutes.
In a nutshell, this is the deal:
When you swing a club, you generate power from your hips.
Because your glutes are primarily responsible for movement at your hips, weak glutes compromise your skill during your swing.
The obvious question I get a lot is…
“Other than squats, what else can I do to strengthen my glutes?”
So today, we’re going to dig a little deeper with the help of Katie at 1stPhorm – that is the nutrition and fitness behemoth headquartered here in St. Louis that put on a fantastic concert over the weekend.
Katie wrote an article awhile back that gets straight to the point:
I do love their no-nonsense ways.
So, if controlling your swing is something you’re interested in (and who isn’t?), check out that article.
Oh…at the bottom, there is a sample workout for glute day.
I have two schools of thought here:
1) We don’t recommend working on specific muscle groups for an entire workout.
2) If you do want to jump into the deep end and challenge yourself, it is gonna hurt.
Your arse will be sore for a week, but again, I do love a good challenge.
You’ve been warned.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff

Let’s get the pot up, so one of us can talk some major smack!
