The toughest kind of glute training that I do is the one that most
Women seem to believe is inadequate!
All those years of ignoring the higher rep sets or the sets that take a little bit longer than 10 seconds are more brutal and require more discipline than doing heavy barbell squats.
There are options in glute training, I really want you to try to do it my way, which is glute training with resistance bands.
Not only can you travel and keep fit and work on your strength with the appropriate loading, you will also be able to keep on building muscle mass without using weights.
Sometimes I feel that the whole dogma or the protocol of always training heavy is just irritating me! What if I’m not into it? I got other things to do!
I feel much more excited about my training, and I also enjoy the feeling of that kind of training more than just having the barbell squats, the dumbbell lunges.
It gives me more freedom in my training.
The challenge with glute training with bands is it will require you to dig deep.
It's the burn; it's the feeling of "I just don't wanna keep going"; that is part of it, so it's tougher for me to do my banded work when I put myself into it than to do the non-banded.
It's too inefficient for me, too easy to do no bands, so fire hydrants without any bands is not gonna be enough.
I have to go in and be motivated and psych myself up and do my training with my bands.
What I feel is the most challenging part with glute training is to get out of this ego training that, if it's not the barbell, if it's not the gym, then you're not gonna put in the effort needed.
It's not really the training style; it's just mentally; you kind of don't think, you don't believe in it somehow.
It's not as worth your time, so my clients, including myself, will realize you have so much muscle potential to grow when you start training smart and see the challenge of keeping up with, for instance, glute work with bands.
It's gonna be the way to gain muscle, not just pains in your lower back, pains in your joints.
I go with what I enjoy doing, plus I wanna gain strength, plus I gain muscle on my terms.
It's not heavy loading with a lot of pump training with higher reps; my heart rate increases a lot, so I can skip cardio and this definitely does that for me.
I am beyond training in a certain way and holding on to it.
I don't marry myself to one workout routine, one workout style anymore, so today I want you to know that those glute bands, if you don't have them, go invest in them.
It's definitely worth it, and you're gonna hate it and then you're gonna love it.
