Side Glute?

[vmays0318]

I need some training advice. I need to work on the side glute muscle. (I have no idea what it is called.) I?m talking about the area that is on the outside of the glute, almost on the side hip for instance. Any suggestions for exercises you?ve seen results with? Thank you!

Why?

We need to know why before we can answer.

I mean, there's nothing to change.

It's all one muscle

Hip Adductor maybe?

Gluteus medius.

And I don't see a reason either

They get worked pretty good from squats, but if you must work them more than that, there's the hip abduction machine and lunges.

Really though...nothing to change

I use the cable machine. The one with the posts about 42" apart.

I put the pulley about ribcage high. Use the strap handles with the rubber grip. I stick my foot in the handle, hop to the other side, hold on, and pull down with my leg. Then do other side. It is a side motion, not fron to back.

Next, I drop the pulley to the floor. Put my foot in the strap, hold on and push my leg out to the side. A side motion.

I feel it all over the glutes, it is a compound excercise, but I feel it a lot in the place you are talking about. Right where the lower back meets the back of the hip. Don't know what you want to achieve though. I do it because my adductors were weak and I needed to build to be able to squat more - it worked. I will keep doing it until I get no additional benefit. I can't imagine it making you look better. (Keep that avi forever, I like it.)
