I approve! This is a great exercise. Perfect for a reverse hack squat movement - good morning on the way down, glute dominant squat on the way up. Each phase works the glutes but the alternating ham/quad stimulus may allow for more reps hammering the glutes. | Bret Contreras

Shelf formula IMO: 1. Prioritize thrusts, 45 hypers, and kickbacks 2. Also do squats, Romanians, Bulgarians, and step ups but after the horizontal work 3. Finish off with abduction (both transverse and frontal plane) | Bret Contreras

Some folks are all legs and others are all torso. Your anthropometry plays a role in how you squat and deadlift and also how strong you can get in various lifts. This is especially true with relatively long femurs and short arms (which cause greater forward lean in the squat and deadlift, respectively). | Bret Contreras

Knee-banded squats are excellent for two main reasons: 1) they increase glute activation, especially toward the bottom of the squat where the nervous system tends to decrease the drive, which may lead to more glute growth and less adductor growth (just a hypothesis) 2) they teach people how to keep the knees out and reduce knee-valgus, which isn’t as inherently dangerous as people make it out to be during squats, but it does make biomechanical sense to try to limit knee caving Three important th

Babies have great squat mechanics due to their anatomy and anthropometry. Larger heads, smaller legs, shallower hip sockets, etc. This is a fun, adorable video but also a good chance to talk about how form influences function. | Bret Contreras

I personally think that a glute dominant parallel squat would grow the glute max more than a quad dominant full squat. You get similar stretch due to the leaning, but more torque. But no studies exist on this topic yet. | Bret Contreras

These look brutal! The somersault squat has apparently been around for quite a while (I found videos from 2013) but they’ve only recently gone viral. I’ve now seen them done with a kettlebell, a dumbbell, a smith machine, a leg curl machine, and with plates stacked on the thighs. Give them a try if you want bigger quads. | Bret Contreras

Bret Contreras “The Glute Guy” PhD, CSCS on Instagram: "To build the adductors, do deep squats, deep leg presses, and single leg work. Even better, do them in a hip dominant fashion. And even better, do them sumo stance sometimes. Also do seated hip adduction and the adduction exercises shown in this video. They’re icing on the cake."
